Calvin Harris and Alesso‘s collaboration, “Under Control,” featuring Hurts, beautifully captures the theme of love and fear intertwined within a relationship. The lyrics express a sense of longing and vulnerability, with lines like “Your heartbeat of solid gold, I love you, you’ll never know.”

The chorus emphasizes the struggle between desire and restraint, symbolized by waiting for the fire to light and feeling the potential for making things right. The repetition of “We’re under control” reinforces the idea of trying to maintain composure and stability amidst emotional turmoil.

The song effectively conveys the complexities of love and the internal conflict that can come with it.
