In 2004, shortly after O-Town split, Jacob Underwood began making music with his band Jacob's Loc. Their music style is a mix of rock, country and a little bit of funk.
Ashley Parker Angel stepped back into the spotlight in 2006 with a show on MTV (There and Back) that detailed his life after O-Town and his 2006 solo album, "Soundtrack to Your Life".
In 2011, O-Town reformed, though without Ashley, and continued on as a 4-piece. Skydive, their official comeback single, was released on 27 July 2014, and was shortly followed by the release of the band's third studio album, Lines & Circles.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when I count to three
You will wake up and be mine
Oooh...
I like it, like it, like it, like it,like it (ah ah ah , ah ah ah yeah ah ah ah)
I love you, love you, love you, love you, love you (ah ah ah , ah ah ah yeah ah ah ah)
I know you, know you, know you, know you,know you (ah ah ah , ah ah ah yeah ah ah ah)
My mind is suffocated
By your deep sigh
The scent of you has got me
So blind, why, why can't I be with you
Full time 'cause
You bring me under
Your lips, your eyes, your skin
Can't wait to be within
Your thoughts, your mind
Will meet in time babe
You're mine babe
So fine babe
But for now
I like it when you bring me under
Girl, I know you so well
I love it when we get down, down,oohh
Can't you tell
I know you know when I first met you
Baby
My heart fell
I love it when you take me down, down
Under your spell
Gotta get an "O"
Gotta get a "T"
Gotta get an "O"
And a "W" and an "N"
Bring it back
If you, could ever understand
What you put me through
Then I, I
I could forgive you
I can't forget you
The things that you do
Won't leave my mind, too
I came to you with a broken view of what
My life should be
You carried me subconsciously
I send my mind through your eyes
My thoughts are caught up in you
Ooo, Can't wait to wrap myself in you
I like it when you bring me under
Girl, I know you so well
I love it when we get down, down
BABY,Can't you tell
I know you know when I first met you
Baby
My heart fell
I love it when you take me down, down
Under your spell
1, 2, 3...
When I look into your eyes
My mind just don't know what to do and
It's a crazy thing
Got me all in a trance
Want to dance in the streets with you
You got it goin' on, flowin' on
Girl you never show me wrong
Make a fella want to go buy the song
And give you all my publishing
I'm gonna go where you want to go
Run wild, have fun like a carnival, cause
I think I'm in love with you
And before I never knew that I was so
I can't recall
Not at all
The last time a girl made me fall
So deep that I had withdrawls
So don't stop cause
I like it when you bring me under
Girl, I know you so well
I love it when we get down, down,oohh
Can't you tell
I know you know when I first met you
Baby
My heart fell
I love it when you take me down, down
Under your spell
I like it when you bring me under
I love it when we get down, down,oohh
Can't you tell
I know you know when I first met you
Baby
My heart fell
I love it when you take me down, down
Under your spell
The song Take Me Under by O-Town is a love song that depicts the intense feelings of infatuation and obsession with someone. The lyrics start with a hypnotic introduction trying to lure the listener into falling into a deep trance, which represents the singer's inability to resist the allure of his love interest. The singer is captivated by his partner, and their lips, eyes, and skin intoxicate him so much that he can't wait to be with her. He is so overwhelmed that he can't think or breathe, and the love spell she has cast on him makes him almost suffocate. The singer craves to be with his partner forever and asks her to wake up and be his. Though he knows that they both will meet and share their thoughts and mind, he loves it when his partner takes him down, under her spell.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I like it when you bring me under" multiple times, emphasizing how the singer loves the effect his partner's presence has on him. The singer declares his love for his partner and how much his heart fell for her when he first met her. The song ends with the singer's realization of him being in love with his partner and how she has made him fall so deep that he can't recall ever feeling this way before.
The song Take Me Under showcases the intense emotions of infatuation and the anxiety of surrendering and falling in love deeply. It portrays how we can't control whom we fall in love with and how we can end up under someone's spell without even realizing it.
