Background and composition
The band teased the song on 31 March 2022 via social media. The song was written by lead singer Luke Hemmings and was produced by guitarist Michael Clifford. Hemmings spoke about the song and its meaning.

""'Take My Hand' is a song the band is extremely proud of. We’re always proud of what we create, but this one is special. This one really feels like the heart of 5SOS. It’s about the fear of change in yourself and becoming accustomed to how you’ve always been. This song speaks on finally embracing that fear and embracing changes, because they’re changes for the better. It’s about realizing how lucky you are and never letting go of the one who helped you get to that place.""
