“Taking You” is the high-tempo debut of boy band, Why Don’t We, consisting of American Idol finalist Daniel Seavey, live streaming stars Jonah Marais and Corbyn Besson, YouTube famous Jack Avery and Instagram famous Zach Herron. The single was featured as part of their debut EP, Only The Beginning and was released on the 6th of October, 2016, just about a week after the formation of the band on the 27th of September of the same year.

In a track-by-track run-through of the EP on the band’s Instagram, they talked about the song and how their first single became a huge success in their eyes:

I think we all really wanted “Taking You” to be our first song that we came out with. — Seavey

Hearing the fans sing the song back to us at [a meet-up], it was the craziest thing ever. — Herron

The fact that they knew it that quick, like the whole song, that was crazy. — Avery
