David Dawood is the producer of Roll Deep's 2010 hit single "Good Times" that featured Connor, which reached number 1 in the United Kingdom.

The lyrics in "Take You There" are co-written by Busta Rhymes, Jodie Connor and David Dawood.

[1] Following the release and prior to the release of "Take You There", Connor had been working in the studio with Roc Nation writers Makeba Riddick (Beyoncé/Rihanna) and James Fauntleroy II (Chris Brown/Leona Lewis) in preparation for her debut album, which will feature "Take You There".

They praised Connor's "voice range and Bajan tones", stating: A music video was made for the single and was filmed along the California Coast Ranges and around the beaches of California, United States.

[3] Tom Howard of NME Review gave the music video a positive review stating: "Two things you’ll notice when watching the video for ‘Take You There’: 1) Jodie Connor, formerly of Roll Deep fame, has ditched the grime-pop in favour of dancing about on a beach in skimpy chain-mail to routine synthpop.
