Songfacts®:

  • "Take Me Thru Dere" is an energetic, bounce-driven track about partying, dancing, and celebrating women who confidently show off their moves. It's all about living in the moment and enjoying Atlanta's club culture.
  • The song features an all-star Atlanta lineup of rappers Breskii, YK Niece and Quavo.

    Breskii made her first-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry with this collaboration. She celebrated the achievement on Instagram, posting, "OMG… My first time on the Billboard Charts!"

    YK Niece gained mainstream attention earlier in 2025 with her viral hit "Whim Whamiee" featuring Pluto, which peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    The established Migos member Quavo brings star power to the track, continuing his long-standing collaborative relationship with Metro Boomin.
  • "Take Me Thru Dere" was produced by Metro Boomin and Bobby Kritical. With its springy steel drums, it's a modern echo of Atlanta's early-2000s "Futuristic Era," when every car stereo between Peachtree and Bankhead was tuned to something bright, fast, and impossible not to move to.
  • Bobby Kritical brings his own Atlanta pedigree to the mix. Known for his work on Lil Uzi Vert's Luv Is Rage 2 (he co-produced "For Real" and "Diamonds All on My Wrist") and for executive-producing K Camp's Wayy 2 Kritical, Bobby has long been one of those behind-the-scenes architects shaping the city's melodic trap sound.
  • "Take Me Thru Dere" appears on A Futuristic Summa, Metro Boomin's 23-track love letter to Atlanta's "Futuristic Era" of the late 2000s and early 2010s. The mixtape nods to artists like Yung L.A., YC, and J Money (formerly J Futuristic), who once ruled the city's airwaves with Auto-Tuned anthems about money, motion, and mischief. Metro's project, hosted by DJ Spinz, is designed for summer block parties with sticky heat, cheap beer, and big smiles.
  • The music video leans into that sense of community celebration. Shot in Atlanta, it plays like an old-school Southern rap video brought back to life, showing the artists partying in a neighborhood park with dance squads, bounce houses for kids, and hundreds of community members.
  • The hook, a chant-like "take me through there," became a rallying cry on social media, propelling the track up the charts.
