“Control / I now all of your spots, I’m in / Control / Take this ride, lose your mind when I’m inside,” he sings on the Bizness Boi, Abi, Crater, Oh Gosh Leotus, and Dylan Hyde-produced chorus.

A commanding bedroom-ready bop, Tank’s sizzling slow jam – officially released on November – saw its accompanying music video released this week.
