"Take You Down" is a song by American DJ and producer Illenium featuring uncredited vocals from Tim James of Rock Mafia.[1] It was released on August 3, 2018, as the first single from Illenium's third studio album Ascend.[2]
The song describes how Illenium's overdose on heroin nearly took his life. He wrote: "I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality." He explained how it felt to drag everyone around him down, simply because they loved him and would never give up hope.[3]
