• Jordan Davis sings about being caught up with his girl on this anthemic track:
  
  Take it from me if you want a T-shirt to sleep in
  It's my favorite but you can keep it
  Looks good baby, you should leave it
  Hanging off your shoulder
  
  Davis will give his love interest anything she wants, as long as it makes her happy.
• Jordan Davis wrote the song with his brother, fellow singer Jacob Davis and Jason Gantt. The track was produced by Boys Like Girls guitarist Paul DiGiovanni.
• Jordan Davis: "'Take It From Me' is a song I wrote with my brother and Jason Gantt. I remember I'd always loved that saying, 'take it from me,' just because growing up I got told that a lot. Take it from me, don't do this or that."
  
  "It was actually Jacob's title that he brought in, and I remember when we kinda started thinking about writing it from that perspective. You know, that kind of advice-giving way. I kind of just wanted to flip it on its head. And I remember one of the examples that I threw out was about the T-shirt, the T-shirt line. We always said how like for some reason girls always run off with your most comfortable T-shirt, and we were able to get that into song and the chorus. That was one where Jason just already had a really cool groove already going and we had a lot of fun in that one."
• Lyrically, this is about that exciting honeymoon phase of a romance. "'Take It From Me' is a song about the early stages of a relationship when it doesn't matter what she wants from you, she can take it - your time, your shirts, anything - she can have it," Davis explained.
• The song's music clip was directed by Eric Ryan Anderson, who also filmed Davis' "Singles You Up" video, and shot in the Big Apple. However, despite both being helmed by the same director, the two visuals couldn't be more different. "We really wanted to mix it up with this video," Davis told Billboard. "Since 'Singles You Up' was shot in the desert in El Paso, Texas, the first thing that came to mind was New York. I love the energy and feeling you get when you're in it, and thought it'd be a perfect fit for this video."
• Jordan Davis wanted this to be released as his debut single after signing with MCA Nashville. He fought hard for it but the people in his corner were convinced that his first release should be "Singles You Up." They won the argument and as that song reached the Top 50 of the Hot 100 they were proved right.
  
  Asked by ABC Radio what it was about "Take It from Me" that made it his first choice, Davis replied that he felt that song both lyrically and his delivery was a "little more me."
• The track evolved from the songwriters' initial idea. "We initially tried to write it, kind of as a grandpa kind of saying 'Take it from me, do this, do that,'" Jordan Davis recalled to ABC News. "But I had just written a song about him a couple days before. And so I had to find a cool way to write it. I was like, 'Man, let's just take it more literal.'"
