"take it" is a playful dance-pop b-side from ive’s debut single album <eleven>, built around a bold, cat-like persona that teases, provokes, and refuses to be easily won over. over a sharp, rhythmic beat and sticky hook, the lyrics portray a confident girl who is tired of boring routines, clumsy hesitation, and predictable moves, telling the other person to drop the overthinking and just "take it" if they want a chance. beneath the sassy attitude and witty lines, the song celebrates self-worth and boundaries: she may look cute on the outside, but she’s sharp, unpredictable, and impossible to approach without real courage and honesty, making "take it" a statement of ive’s edgy, mischievous charm early in their career.
