"Lose Control" is a 2005 single by Missy Elliott featuring Ciara and Fatman Scoop, released on Goldmind/Atlantic Records. It contains samples from Les Rythmes Digitales's Music Makes You Lose Control, Cybotron's "Clear" and Hot Streak's "Body Work". The first single from Elliott's sixth album The Cookbook (2005), "Lose Control" peaked at number-three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, becoming Elliott's ninth top ten single, Ciara's fourth, and Fatman Scoop's first. "Lose Control" went platinum five times, becoming her biggest single to date (passing the previous single "Work It").
The music video features a cameo by Tommy Lee. The video also features Elliott in a desert, in a solid black room with other dancers, in an old wooden house and in a row of dancers, dancing by a car. The song is about her telling people to stop being wall flowers and start dancing.
"Lose Control" won the 2006 Grammy Award for "Best Short Form Music Video". It also won the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards for "Best Hip-Hop Video" and "Best Dance Video".
