"Self Control" is a song originally recorded by Italian singer Raf in 1984, but it was later covered by American singer Laura Branigan in 1984. The song was produced by Jack White and arranged by Harold Faltermeyer, who also played the synthesizer on the track.

The song's melody and lyrics were originally written by Raf, Giancarlo Bigazzi, and Steve Piccolo. The English lyrics were written by Branigan herself, along with her regular collaborators, Bruce Roberts and Bob Tischler. Branigan's version of "Self Control" was released as a single in April 1984 and appeared on her album of the same name, which was released later that year.

The song's production is characterized by its use of synthesizers, particularly the Roland Jupiter-8, which creates the distinctive sound of the song's main riff. The song's driving beat and catchy melody helped to make it a hit in several countries, including the United States, where it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"Self Control" became one of Branigan's signature songs, and it remains popular today. The song has been covered by several other artists over the years, and it has been featured in numerous films, television shows, and commercials.
