In 2017, IC3PEAK released their first Russian language album Сладкая жизнь (Sweet Life). They've stated that they "felt the urge for a dialog with our native generation about common fears, problems and feelings without language barrier." The album took a darker trap approach to witch house with elements of art pop and glitch pop. A music video (entirely written, directed, stylized, produced, and edited by the duo) was made for the single "Грустная сука" ("Sad Bitch"), which has received 5.8 million views as of September 2018. This was followed by two non-album singles: "Monster" and "This World Is Sick," released in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
On September 14, 2018, IC3PEAK released the single "Сказка," showing a style much closer to trap rap/hip hop than witch house. A music video was produced for it, featuring animated artwork by artist Jakov Burov. Exactly two weeks later, an album also titled Сказка was released without any prior announcement.

The lyrics of IC3PEAK's song "Take My Hand" depict a sense of desperation and a plea for help. The first two lines, "take me out to your side, take me out from this hole" convey the feeling of being trapped and isolated in a dark place. The singer is asking for someone to take them out of this hole and into the light.
The following two lines, "take my hand, please take my hand, take my mind, please take my mind" suggest that the singer is not only asking for a physical escape but also a mental one. They want someone to take their hand and guide them through the difficulties they are facing, to help them escape their troubled mind.
The repetition of the phrase "take my hand" emphasizes the importance of human connection as a source of comfort and grounding. The song can also be interpreted as a cry of hopelessness and a desire for an end to the pain.
Overall, "Take My Hand" is a powerful expression of vulnerability and a call for help. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they undoubtedly convey a deep sense of emotional turmoil and a longing for connection.
