"Take Me" comes from Getting Away With Murder, Papa Roach's 2004 album, and the division of labor is simple: Tobin Esperance wrote the music, Jacoby Shaddix wrote the words and sings them. Esperance handles bass and guitar alongside guitarist Jerry Horton, the two of them stacking backing vocals behind Shaddix, and David Buckner pounds the drums.
Howard Benson produced and added keyboards, Mike Plotnikoff recorded it and Chris Lord-Alge mixed, so the whole thing comes out buffed to a hard sheen: guitars chunky and compressed, a chorus built to fill an arena, and Shaddix pushing his voice right to the edge of a yell.
