Take You There represents the third single released by Sean Kingston from his debut album titled after himself, with production handled by J. R. Rotem. The track was co-written by Kingston alongside Rotem, E. Kidd Bogart, R. City, and Eric Bluebaum. It reflects Kingston's desire to portray his homeland, Jamaica, illustrating both its idyllic qualities and its difficulties. Although it was originally intended to be Kingston's first single in May 2007, the release was postponed until after "Beautiful Girls", ultimately coming out on October 23, 2007.

Upon release, the single entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at position 81 on November 17, 2007, eventually reaching a peak of number 7, signaling notable commercial achievement.

Music video

The music video was directed by Gil Green and shot in Miami. It includes appearances from Rick Ross, J. R. Rotem, DJ Khaled, and Gunplay. Model Kirby Griffin plays the role of Kingston’s girlfriend in the video. The lyric "sip piña coladas" is muted in the visual version due to its alcohol reference but remains audible in radio airplay.
