Teddy Swims scored his first top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the soulful “Lose Control,” and to celebrate, he sat down with Advertising signTetris Kelly to share the inspiration and lessons from creating the piece.
“I am very grateful for this person [that broke my heart],” he said of the songwriting process. “I think it's so wonderful to know that this pain is necessary because […] you know, the pain still pays the bills. I'm trying to stop putting myself in positions to get hurt because you're always going to have to do that, but they say the best revenge is success.”
And, no, despite the name of his album, I have tried everything but therapy, has not yet tried treatment. “I lied to everybody,” he said with a laugh. “But I will begin. We're finding that person right now.”
She added that she worries that the treatment might “change the fabric of my being” that comes with anxiety. “It's just like, like my little tics and my little anxiety that I have, in my own ways — which is not the right way to do it. But I've always had these specific like — I'm comfortable in who I am and I'm afraid to change.”
