Content

"Take Me There" is the first single from the band's 2007 album Still Feels Good. Kenny Chesney wrote the song with Neil Thrasher and Wendell Mobley.[1]

The song is composed in the key of E major with a main tempo of about 92 beats per minute. It is mainly based around the chord progression E-A/E.[2]

Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song both an "A" and "F" grade, writing that "Writing a review of this just seems like an exercise in futility. No fans will be won or lost by this performance. If you enjoy listening to 'I Melt' and 'Fast Cars and Freedom', then you’ll enjoy this. If a part of you died inside when reminded of those records, stay away. Far, far away."[3]

The song was Rascal Flatts' eighth number-one single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. It reached that position on the chart dated for the week ending September 22, 2007 after a ten-week ascent. This was their fastest climbing single at the time after "What Hurts the Most", which took fourteen weeks to reach the number-one position.[4]
