"No Controles" is a song written by Nacho Cano, and recorded and released by the Spanish band Olé Olé in 1983.

The song translates as "Don't Control" in English, referring to a series of life choices that could possibly be controlled such as 'mi forma de pensar...vestir', "the way I think or dress".
