It was released on February 9, 2025, as part of the extended version of Lana (2025), the reissue of her second studio album SOS (2022).
Captioned "never fight over community dick", the teaser shows SZA as she poses in a camping tent, wearing nothing but a red bikini.
[8] "Take You Down" was intended to appear on Lana, but SZA's manager, Punch, told her to exclude it from the final tracklist.
Hours after the reissue's release, she shared text conversations between the two on social media in which they discussed its exclusion.
According to the screenshot, SZA had asked Punch for permission to release "Take You Down" alongside "PSA", another Lana outtake, sometime soon.
