"Control" is a song by American singer Tank. It was written by Tank along with Travis Bruce, Lonny Bereal, Andre Robertson, Abishek Prakash, and Nathaniel Hill Kim, Leoren Davis Jr., and Dylan Hyde for Tank's upcoming album "Experience" (2026), while production was helmed by Bizness Boi, Abi CRATER, Oh Gosh Leotus, and Dylan Hyde. It was released by R&B Money/BMG as the album's lead single on November 18, 2025, and peaked at number one on the US Adult R&B Airplay chart.
Composition On the silken ballad, which interpolates Janet Jackson's 1986 classic of the same name, Tank takes command in the bedroom to deliver a pleasurable experience to his lover. "Control / I know all of your spots, I'm in / Control / Take this ride, lose your mind when I'm inside," he sings on the chorus.
Speaking on his new single, Tank exclusively told Rated R&B, "'Control' is about control. Who really has it? The woman or man. Janet was fighting for control then and we are still fighting for control now. This song is your opportunity to seize Control."
Music video The video premiered on YouTube on December 17, 2025. It was directed by Daniil Demichev
