"Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)" is the second single from Groove Armada's latest album "Soundboy Rock" and Mutya Buena's debut solo album, "Real Girl". The song was released in 2007 to positive critical reception. Popjustice declared it "completely amazing", [ [http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=820&Itemid=9 Popjustice's review of "Out Of Control (Song 4 Mutya)"] ] and Pitchfork Media called it "inspired" and "glorious." [ [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/49315-soundboy-rock Pitchfork's review of "Soundboy Rock"] ]

It reached number-one on the UK Dance Chart and number-eight on the UK Singles Chart. The song has also started to gain heavy airplay in Australia, on radio stations and music video shows. It debuted at #24 on the Australian Singles Chart.

Music video

The video for the song was filmed in Finsbury Park, North London. With a festival theme, it features Mutya performing on stage with an audience of fans jumping about, some dressed in animal suits in keeping with the Groove Armada "Get Down" video. The video was released in early July 2007, along with another version released on Buena's official website. Fact|date=June 2008

Groove Armada wrote the song for Buena, but it has been perceived by some fans as aimed directly at her Sugababes replacement Amelle Berrabah. This is an allegation denied by Groove Armada, as one of the working titles of the song was "Song 4 Estelle". However, Estelle Swaray did not match the requirements of the band and the song was given to Buena instead. [Adams, Cameron.
