"Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)" is a song produced by British music duo Groove Armada, featuring vocals by recording artist Mutya Buena. Initially intended to feature British singer Estelle, the duo ultimately decided to collaborate with Buena on the song following her departure from girl group Sugababes in December 2005. Supported by a new wave-inspired beat, dance synthesizers and a bass line, it is an uptempo electronic and electropop song. The lyrics were interpreted by the media as an "insult" to Buena's Sugababes replacement Amelle Berrabah, although Buena herself has denied such allegations.

The song's production was met with critical acclaim, and various critics named it the song of the summer, while The Guardian and Xtra! highlighted it as one of the best songs of 2007. The song peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart and reached number one on the UK Dance Chart. It reached the top 40 in Australia, Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands. The single's music video was filmed in Finsbury Park, North London and features a festival theme.

Since its release, the track has gained prominence as a staple within the British LGBTQ community, Buena herself has stated she only performs the track in LGBTQ venues, events and spaces.^[1]
