"Take a Picture" is a song by American rock band Filter, released to radio in September 1999 as the second single from their second studio album, Title of Record (1999).

[4] Patrick expanded in greater detail in a 2008 retrospective interview: "When I wrote the chorus to "Take a Picture" [...] it was just after my friend was like, "Do you remember anything you did last night?"

Weeks later, I had another drunken experience – being on a plane and being blacked out and not feeling good and taking my shirt off, half in and out of consciousness – and I'm in the back of a paddy wagon.

A music video, directed by David Meyers, featured the band in a dreamlike sequence taking place in five different main scenes: a crashed and burning jet airplane in the middle of the ocean, underwater below it without scuba gear on, on a tiny search rowboat in the middle of the ocean, a room in a house being flooded by water, and on the roof of this flooding house.

Mass requests and increasing popularity (as stated all day during the second year's performance in May 2000) resulted in the song being played as their closer.
