"'Out of Control'" is a song by English big beat duo the Chemical Brothers, released as the third single from their third album, 'Surrender' (1999). The song's vocals and guitar are performed by Bernard Sumner from New Order, and additional vocals are provided by Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream.

Following its release on 11 October 1999, "Out of Control" peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart and claimed the number-one spot on the UK Dance Chart. It also reached the top 50 in New Zealand and Spain, as well as on the US 'Billboard' Dance Club Songs chart.

Music video



The music video of the song was directed by W.I.Z. The video's cast includes actress Rosario Dawson and Michel Brown, and depicts a Mexican conflict between government and Zapatista Army of National Liberation, a revolutionary group that appeared during the 1990s. Then is revealed to be an advertisement for a fictional Coca-Cola-type beverage. The camera pans out to reveal it being displayed in an electronic shop, before the storefront is smashed in and the video ends with shaky night-time footage of violent urban riots, shot on handheld cameras.
