I didn't think it was bad at all."īy the time Branigan begrudgingly approved an edited version of the clip for the MTV, the song had already peaked on the charts. It was played in Europe and everywhere else. There's a shot where the man comes into my bedroom, taking me into the night. There were all these great dancers wearing masks by Willa Shalit. We had a man representing the night, wearing a mask. "The song was about losing your self-control to the night or to someone. We worked very hard on it," Branigan told the Associated Press. The clip was filmed in New York and New Jersey by William Friedkin, the famed director responsible for such cinema classics as The Exorcist and The French Connection. What really put "Self Control" over the top was the song's suggestive music video. The # 1 song in America that week: Duran Duran's "The Reflex." Gaining momentum into the summer months, "Self Control" peaked at #4 on the Hot 100 for the week of June 30, 1984. Blending the song's icy synthesizer-heavy groove with rock guitars, the singer's seductive vocal launched the track up the charts. Branigan's take on the tune was issued as a single on April 19, 1984. The song was actually a cover of a track by Italian artist Raf, who released his version earlier the same year. The singer was coming off three top 10 US singles in a row: "Gloria," "Solitaire," and "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You." That month, she released the lead song and title track of her then-new album: "Self Control."
