about

“Whilst working on Take Time, we wanted to capture the essence of our song “Hi There” but with a more house arrangement. We really wanted our brother Kojey Radical on the verse and, as we knew he would, he gives the track a real nice bounce. We then asked Daley to jump on the chorus and again he absolutely kills it with his sweet, smooth melodies over the beat. Daley & Kojey on the same track is just so sooooo beautiful.” Blue Lab Beats.

“The energy and bounce grabbed me immediately, and I had such fun layering melodies, stacking harmonies and infusing some soul into the hook and adlibs. Amazing to have Kojey on the track too, admire him so much as an artist. Looking forward to working more with my Blue Lab boys.” Daley
“Take Time” features two of the UK’s most singular talents, Mercury nominated Kojey Radical and the sweet soul voice of Daley,

lyrics

Time… ooh…
Time… ooh…
Time… ooh…
Back, back, back
Forth, forth, forth
Back, back, back
Forth, forth, forth
Every time it gets a little bit closer
To the limit yeah we’re peaking over
A thousand degrees
We’ve reached capacity
(We’re doing too much)
Why don’t we take time
(We’re doing too much)
Darling take time
(We’re doing to much, yeah)
Take time, give each other space


Why you gotta be like that
If you wanna leave I can help you pack
I don't wanna argue with you or get bitter like coffee with you.
Right back where I started with you.
Cut deep like the sharpest ginsu
Up close like I’m dancing with you
Knife fight but you bought the pistol.
Bang bang
Could’ve sworn I missed you.
Violins pillow talks and tissues.
We go back back forth on the scoreboards losing game.
I’m numb, I've got shooting pains. In love, I've been through some things.
I don’t wanna argue with you. Go back where I started with you.
Love war but you’re not invincible. No way no way.
My respect, means more than principle. Baby



Every time it gets a little bit closer
To the limit yeah we’re peaking over
A thousand degrees
We’ve reached capacity
(We’re doing too much)
Why don’t we take time
(We’re doing too much)
Darling take time
(We’re doing to much, yeah)
Take time, give each other space

Ahh ah… take time
Ahh ah… take time
Back, back, back
Forth, forth, forth
Back, back, back

Everytime we get closer
To our limit, it’s over
A thousand degrees
We’ve reached capacity
Yeah…

Why don’t we take time (hey)
(We’re doing too much)
I wanna take my time
(We’re doing to much, yeah)
Take time, give each other space

Take… (Time)
Take… (Time)
Ooh…
