Davis wrote the song with his brother Jacob and Jason Gantt, the former saying he suggested that it be about advice-seeking and Jordan gave it a more literally approach, being about the early stages of a relationship. "Take It from Me" peaked at number two and four on both the 'Billboard' Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts respectively. It also reached number 46 on the Hot 100 chart. It was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 77,000 copies in the United States as of April 2019. The song achieved similar chart success in Canada, reaching number four on the Canada Country chart and number 67 on the Canadian Hot 100.
