Singer Teddy Swims is in hot water. He said he used computer tools, called AI, to help make his music. He called the AI tools “truly amazing” and “super helpful.”
One example? He used it to change one word in a song without going to the studio! Which song? Our favourite Lose Control! He says this saves time and money. But many people got angry, calling him a hypocrite. They said he loves AI when it helps him, but he gets mad when others use it to copy his voice.
Teddy Swims Just Admitted He Uses AI To Make Music
People on the internet were quick to fight back. “You can’t have it both ways!” some wrote. But his biggest fans jumped in to defend him. They said he only uses the AI as a helper and that he always maintains a human aspect.
But let’s be honest: all the noise about AI didn’t stop his biggest song, “Lose Control.”
Teddy Swims – Lose Control (Live)
“Lose Control” became a massive hit. It climbed to the Number One spot on the biggest music charts, setting a record for how long it took to get there. It has been played on phones and radios worldwide for well over a year. The song got nominated for a Grammy.
It shows that no matter how he made the song, people just loved how it sounded and how it made them feel. So, the next time “Lose Control” comes on, you have to ask yourself: Do the amazing feelings you get from the music matter more than the tools used to make it?
