## Composition

"She Loves Control" is an "electronica-tinged, dancehall-ready" track including a Spanish guitar and a thumping bassline. In an interview backstage at KDWB Jingle Ball 2017, a fan asked Cabello what her favorite song to perform was; she responded saying "I'm excited to perform this one song, it's called 'She Loves Control' and I'm excited to perform it just because it's very fun. I wouldn't say it's my favorite one on the album because they're all my favorites for different reasons, just excited to perform that one because I feel like it's gonna have - cool - like dance stuff".

## Critical reception

Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork penned, "'She Loves Control' is an apt mission statement for a star who soured on girl group life because she couldn't explore [her] individuality, and it shows Cabello can navigate a moombahton rhythm with the same ease that characterized 'Havana.'"
