![]() ![]() People believe his music and this song are not country because Hunt likes to blend genres and is influenced by R&B. It’s slow enough to emphasize that he “just wants to take her time” and not move into things too quickly, but it does pick up tempo, which allows for the constant repetition and insistence to be noticed.Įven though the song is classified within the country genre, it has received mixed reviews from many because it shies away from ‘traditional country’. The song is a ‘mid- tempo’ ballad, which plays well to the lyrics of the song. Hunt was sold on both of those ideas, and the rest of the songwriting process strived to achieve that. They toyed the idea of a guy telling a girl “ ‘I’m not trying to take your friends away from you, I’m not trying to do this … I just wanna take your time’ - almost like a sales pitch”. Hunt really liked it and they got to work. Osborne, one of the song’s writers, says that he had a song title idea, “Take Your Time”, and pitched it to Sam Hunt. According to Hunt, the guy portrayed in the song is confident in his interactions with the girl, but at the same time he’s vulnerable. Instead of going up to her and proposing they spend the night together, he approaches her and tells her he wants to take the time to know more about her. The song follows the story of a young man who meets a girl at the bar and wants to get to know her. Eventually, “Take Your Time” was able to climb the charts and hit number one on both Billboard’s Country Airplay and Billboard’s Hot Country Songs. It was then released to the radio stations November 24, 2014, and positioned at number 55 on Billboard’s Country Airplay as well as number 35 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs. “Take Your Time”, Hunt’s second single off his album Montevallo was co-written by Hunt, as well as two of his other songwriting partners, Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally. Over time, he started writing songs that were more suited for him and from that point forward became Sam Hunt. He mastered the craft of songwriting and wrote multiple hits for other country artists. So much that when his football career wasn’t as promising as he had once hoped, Hunt moved to Nashville and became a songwriter. Through the act, he found a joy and appreciation for music. To pass time during practice, he would pick up a guitar and eventually taught himself how to play. Before Sam Hunt was producing chart topping singles, he used to be out on the field at the University of Alabama playing football. ![]()
