"Take Me Away" was the second single from Fefe Dobson's self-titled 2003 debut, pushed to radio by Island Def Jam. The Canadian singer-songwriter wrote it with Jay Levine, who produced it with James Bryan McCollum, and they gave it an alternative rock edge and a rebellious streak, with guitars and drums added to the mix.
Billboard's Chuck Taylor called it a refreshing change of pace amid the pop of the day and praised its wall of hook-laden guitars. Dobson later raised doubts about the single's cover art, wondering whether it had been designed to play down her mixed-race background.
