The lyrics of Drake's "Take You Down" are pretty straightforward and revolve around the sexual nature of the relationship he has with his lover. In the first verse, Drake hints at his confidence in his abilities to please his lover, "girl, I know where to start and what we gonna do." He assures her that they will have all night and he has plans for them. The chorus emphasizes the purpose of the song, which is to take her down and show her what he's about. He repeats this line a few times in the song. The second verse gets more explicit and is pretty self-explanatory. Throughout the song, he is encouraging her to stop playing around and let him take control.
Interestingly, the song features Chris Brown, who was not included in the original release of the song. It wasn't until a year later that the remix with Brown was released.
The song was released in 2008 and peaked at number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Drake has never performed this song live, and it's unclear if he ever will.
There is no official music video for the song.
The song has been heavily criticized for its explicit content and lack of substance.
"Take You Down" was originally supposed to be featured on Drake's debut album "Thank Me Later," but it was eventually cut.
The song was produced by Noah "40" Shebib, who produced many more of Drake's hits.
The song was also criticized for its similarities to R. Kelly's song "Seems Like You're Ready."
The track was released as a single before Drake's first album "Thank Me Later" was released.
