Funny little hunt I went on last night with this exact question — I scoured streaming credits, YouTube descriptions, and my messy playlist notes — and the one thing I keep running into is ambiguity. There are multiple tracks titled 'I Don't Wanna Lose Control' floating around in different contexts (some are indie singles, some are soundtrack pieces), so without the specific film, show, or game name it's tricky to point to a single composer or performer.
If you can tell me which OST you mean — for example, the series or movie it appears in — I’ll narrow it down fast. Meanwhile, my practical tip from late-night credit-sleuthing: check the official OST release (digital booklets on Bandcamp or the physical CD liner notes), Spotify/Apple Music song credits, or the upload description where the OST was posted. Those places usually list both the performer and the songwriter, which helps sort covers from original compositions. I’d love to help dig deeper if you drop the title of the show or the scene it plays in.

I've tripped over this exact question while digging through my music folders, so I get why it's annoying — there are several songs called 'Lost in Paradise' and the writer credit changes depending on which one you mean.
If you can drop the artist or where you heard it (anime, movie, streaming playlist), I can look up the specific liner notes. In general, the best places I check first are the album booklet, the streaming-service credits (Spotify and Apple Music sometimes list writers now), Discogs for physical-release credits, and sites like MusicBrainz. For Japanese releases I also use JASRAC or the label's official page. If it’s a rap feature, the featured rapper often writes their own verses, so credits can be split between multiple writers. Tell me which version you mean and I’ll hunt down the exact original lyricist for you.

I get excited talking about this—it's one of those niche things I love digging into. In my experience, yes, official translations for lyrics do exist, but they're scattered and inconsistent. The most common places I find them are in CD or vinyl booklets, Blu-ray/DVD extras, and official websites or artist social posts. I used to hunt down physical singles at secondhand shops and would sometimes find English—or at least translator-noted—lyrics tucked into the liner notes. That feeling of discovery never gets old.
On the flip side, many TV airings won't show translated song lyrics in the episode itself. Streaming platforms sometimes include translated OP/ED lines as part of the subtitle track, and some publishers add lyric translations to international soundtrack releases. If you want reliable translations, check the official album booklet, the anime's publisher page, or the record label's releases—they're the places most likely to carry sanctioned translations. It’s a bit like treasure hunting, but supporting official releases is the best way to encourage more translations to appear.

I got sucked into this mini-mystery the moment I heard that haunting voice in the trailer, and I went on a little fact-finding mission.
First thing I did was check the trailer description and the credits on the official upload — sometimes they list the composer or music provider. If that came up empty, I scanned the comments and Twitter threads; the fandom often spots details before official sources do. I also ran the clip through Shazam and a couple of audio ID sites, but those can fail on heavily processed or mixed vocals. If none of that works, my next move would be to look up the trailer’s composer or sound designer and check their discography, PRO listings (ASCAP/BMI), or even send a polite inquiry to the studio’s press email. A lot of trailer vocals are session singers or in-house samples and don’t get individual credit, so it’s possible there’s no public name. Still, between composer credits, publisher notes, and community sleuthing you usually turn something up, or at least narrow down whether it’s a sampled phrase or an original recording.
