"Take You Down" is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA from the 2024 deluxe edition of her second studio album, SOS (2022).

Background[edit]

American singer-songwriter SZA released her second studio album SOS on December 9, 2022, to widespread acclaim and high commercial success.[1][2] The album garnered a score of 90 on the review aggregate website Metacritic,[3] debuted atop the Billboard 200, broke a string of chart records, and spawned several career milestones.[4] SZA teased the imminent release of its deluxe version on Instagram upon SOS's release,[5] and she teased it again on a December 21 post, where she expressed gratitude for the album's number-one debut: "Imma take another swing at it for the deluxe then shut up for a while."[6]

On February 25, 2023, Billboard reported that ten songs will be released as part of the deluxe edition of SOS.[7] SZA officially announced in September that it had become a "whole 'nother album" titled Lana,[8][9] and its lead single "Saturn" was released a year later, on February 22. She once again alluded its release was on the way through an Instagram post, captioned "Never fight over community dick", on March 12. Accompanying it was a video that shows SZA as she poses in a camping tent, wearing nothing but a red bikini.[10][11] A day later, SZA posted the song on Twitter and revealed she recorded the video in her garage the night after she finished the song, on March 11.[12]
