In the 27^th edition of Spicy Tunez (2026), we explore the eyebrow-raising, naughty, sexed-up vibes behind “control yourself” by Artemas.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

[nx_pullquote]“Caroline / Do you like when I say your name?”[/nx_pullquote] Well, do you, Caroline? Artemas (Artemas Diamandis) seems to be referencing the song “Caroline” from his 2024 mixtape, yustyna.  In that song, Mr. Diamandis asserts, “Caroline, you should break up with your girl / For the night, let me fucking rock your world.” On “control yourself”, the 12^th and final track from his 2026 tape, getting up to no good, Caroline seems to be enticing Artemas, ferociously.  “You know what you’re doing with that tight dress on / Pressed against your body with no panties on,” he sings in the pre-chorus, and continues, “Started breathing on me, and it felt so wrong / Started touching on me, and it felt so wrong.” Holy fuck feels like an appropriate reaction… Anyway, Artemas wrote and produced this naughty pop cut. 

“Control yourself” commences enigmatically.  Notably, the sound of musical accompaniment is brighter than usual… or at least, less dark for an Artemas song.  Still, Diamandis gets it in, as evidenced by the pre-chorus.  Even thinking with his pants, Artemas sings beautifully, incredibly enthusiastic, infuses plenty of personality, and packs more punch than usual.  Also, the musical accompaniment is vibrant.  Still, it is his sexual endeavors that capture our attention most.  In the second verse, Artemas admits he “broke my girl’s heart for a taste.”  To make matters worse, his girlfriend doesn’t know it… I guess until she hears the song 😏.  But Diamandis simply can’t avoid her and yield not to temptation!  Instead, per the pre-chorus, “Baby, when I’m with you, can’t control myself / If I don’t get to fuck you, won’t forgive myself.”  See, I told you holy fuck was an appropriate reaction… maybe it’s more of an unholy fuck to be honest… In the chorus, the centerpiece, Artemas, continues to be honest about his horniness.  Seems like Caroline is a baddie!

“But I don’t even know you, girl, control yourself

I’m tryin’ not to give in, but I know myself

I know I shouldn’t trust you, but I want to

Yeah, I want to, and I want you.”

Artemas should’ve avoided Caroline like the plague, at least in his personal life.  In terms of the song “control yourself”, however, it’s hard not to eat up the sexy sugar, honey, iced tea he continues to serve up.
