‘I WANNA BE CONTROLLED’ is about being bombarded by modernity, an expression of exasperation at the complexities of living and a desire for simplicity. 

Heavily inspired by shoegaze and grunge music, in particular the likes of Nirvana and My Bloody Valentine, the track is punctuated by experimental and soundscape elements throughout such as reverse vocals and manipulated samples. The lyrics were written as a stream of consciousness, only taking 15 minutes to finish: a testament to the catchy, daring melodies heard on ‘I WANNA BE CONTROLLED’.
