Test your knowledge of Teddy Swims's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.

The hits give themselves up the moment that gravelly voice lands, from 'Lose Control' to 'The Door'. The catch is the covers mixed in among them, famous songs that just happen to be sung by Teddy.
There is more to him than the one big ballad: a stage name that hides a phrase, a debut album that jokes about therapy in its title, and a chart-topper that needed months of climbing to reach No. 1.
One giant hit, a handful of quieter originals, and a deep pile of covers: that is the ladder this quiz climbs. The higher you go, the harder it is to tell an original from a cover he made his own.
Almost everyone lands 'Lose Control' the moment that raw, aching vocal comes in. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 after months of climbing, so it is the safe opening point of any Teddy Swims quiz. Miss this one and the rest of the round only gets harder.
Past the big single, casual fans start to slip. 'The Door' and 'Bad Dreams' come from the 2023 debut 'I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1)', and they trade the anthem swell for slower, more wounded soul. Naming these from a short clip is the first real filter.
This is the axis the whole quiz turns on. Before the charts, Jaten Dimsdale grew a following by covering other people's songs across soul, country and rock, and he sings them with such conviction that they feel like originals. The trap is a clip where the song is famous but not actually his.
Superfans win on range. Swims can push from a country lilt to a gospel-soul belt to a rock rasp inside a single set, so two clips that sound like different singers can both be him. Track that voice across genres and the deep cuts stop hiding.

Expect the No. 1 hit 'Lose Control' plus singles like 'The Door' and 'Bad Dreams', and then the curveballs: the soul, country and rock covers he posted on YouTube long before the charts noticed.
His voice is so adaptable that a famous cover can pass for one of his own songs. The trap is a clip where he is singing someone else's hit, not a Teddy Swims original, and it takes a real fan to hear the difference.
He was born Jaten Dimsdale in 1992 in Conyers, Georgia. The stage name Swims is reported to stand for 'Someone Who Isn't Me Sometimes'.
