Self control

Self control is the exertion of one's own will on their personal self - their behaviors, actions, thought processes.

Much of this comes from the perception of self and the ability to set up boundaries for that self.

"Self Control" is also the name of an international hit song (Giancarlo Bigazzi/Raffaele Riefoli/Steve Piccolo) recorded in 1984 by Laura Branigan (also known for the hit "Gloria"), as well as the album on which it appears. Known for its half-whispered refrain ("You take my self/You take my self control") and for stopping the rhythm and instrumentation of the song as a chorus of male backing vocals (o-o-OH) rises to a sonic boom, the song was also recorded that same year by Raf (a/k/a Raff).
