"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.

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."

[3] Illenium wrote in the description of the music video for the song: “'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones.

I’ve been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for.”[4]
