Because of this encounter in NY, I felt compelled to write about a woman and her struggles with guys that take her for granted. “(She’s Taking) Control” is not about guns, really. It is more about the danger of letting emotions dictate our behaviors without taking a moment to cool off. In this world of “everything in real time”, I see a lot of “act first, think later”… In verse 2, where she loads the gun but starts shaking, I wanted to leave open what she would or would not do.
