Take Me by the Hand

A music video directed by Tohé Commaret premiered alongside the song's release; it depicts Oklou and Bladee living in a world of their own as shown on a screen in an empty movie theater.

Danny L Harle served as a co-producer and provided additional production; Nathan Boddy mixed the track while Matt Colton handled its mastering.

[5][13] Its 2-step beat was compared to the early music from Burial by The Fader's Jordan Darville,[11] while Abby Jones from Stereogum described its synthesizers as "icy" and "scintillating".

[5] Darville felt Oklou's lyrics sound like "they could be engraved on the side of a marble sculpture" and described Bladee's as "the kind you'd hear at the end of the most euphoric night of your life".

[11] Crack's Megan Wallace identified folklore and mythology as a recurring theme in the song's lyrics; specifically the line, "Holy inspiration comes / Through the nerves in this suspension".

[13] It depicts Oklou living in a world of her own, which is projected on a screen in an empty movie theater; Wallace said Bladee "beams into his feature as a ghostly light" in the video.
