Out of Control is the second solo studio album by American musician Peter Criss. Recording for the album began in March 1980, when Criss was still officially a member of Kiss. The album sold poorly, and was not re-released on CD until 1997, as the Kiss reunion tour was underway.
The lone single from the album, "By Myself", failed to chart. The album features a hidden bonus track of a cover of " As Time Goes By". The album also included a cover of the song " You Better Run" by The Young Rascals.

The album artwork was created by Todd Schorr from an idea by Criss. Criss' wife at the time, Debra Jensen, served as the inspiration for the blonde woman in the foreground, toward the left side, of the front cover. [4]
