"I Can't Control Myself" was written by the Troggs lead vocalist Reg Presley and after several days of rehearsing in their home town Andover, the Troggs recorded the song on 24 August 1966 at Olympic Studios in London. It then was released a month later as the first single on Page One Records, which had been co-founded by the band's manager and producer Larry Page. A continuing dispute in the US over the distribution of the Troggs' releases meant that "I Can't Control Myself" was simultaneously released by Atco and Fontana in September 1966.

"I Can't Control Myself" is known for its blatantly suggestive lyrics and therefore caused much controversy upon its release. It was banned from being played or performed on radio and TV in the UK, US and Australia. Whilst this did not impact sales in the UK or Australia, it did impact the song's chart performance in the US as Billboard took airplay into account with its charts.

The controversy revolved around the line "Your slacks are low and your hips are shown'". In an interview in 2008, Presley maintained that the lyric was him "just writing about hipster trousers", something that guitarist Chris Britton has also backed up. However, in an interview in 2011, Presley revealed that the inspiration for the song was from a girl in East Anglia who "had pillar-box red jeans cut so low you could see her pubic hair". The song was also controversial for its ending in which Presley screams, which some critics thought sounded like an orgasm; although both Presley and Britton have strongly denied that was the intention.
