On Tuesday night, BMI caught up with singer/songwriter Teddy Swims backstage prior to his sold-out show at New York City’s Radio Music Hall to present him with a few awards from the 2025 BMI Pop Awards held earlier this month in Beverly Hills. Swims received BMI’s 2025 Pop Song of the Year Award for the smash hit “Lose Control,” which he co-wrote alongside BMI writers Julian Bunetta, Marco “Infamous” Rodriguez and Mikky Ekko. The soulful song just logged a record-breaking 92nd week on Billboard’s Hot 100, including a record 63 weeks in Hot 100’s top 10. In addition to Pop Song of the Year, Swims received awards for “The Door” and “Lose Control” for being two of the 50 most-performed pop songs of the previous year in the U.S.
