Zoe Wees – Control Lyrics

“Control” is 17-year-old singer Zoe Wees’ debut single. This raw and emotional ballad is autobiographical, telling the story of Wees’ struggle through rolandic childhood epilepsy – a disease that had her fighting for years with subjects like loss of control, helplessness and exclusion from a very young age.

“The sickness was stronger than me, and left scars that have become part of my life. Accepting them has taken so much time, but they make me what I am today: a fighter.”

For Zoe, “Control” is not only the story of the end of a long struggle, but also the beginning of leaving the past behind. The song is dedicated to Wees’ school teacher who played a big role in her childhood, helping her through the darkest times of her epilepsy in the classroom, and the hospital. Zoe shows us her deepest self through exquisite song text and an emotional performance. “Control” is an immaculate pop ballad, woven perfectly to exhibit the fragility, sensibility and strength of a young artist on the verge of an incredible career in music.
