On the song, both artists take a humorous look at dating and the pressure to spend money in romantic relationships. The lyrics address people who expect expensive gifts and lavish treatment during the early stages of a relationship without showing the same level of commitment in return.
Ayo Maff brings his smooth, melodic delivery to the record, while Naira Marley adds his usual bold and cheeky style. Their contrasting performances give “Take Away” its street-pop appeal and bring the Maffians and Marlians fanbases together for the first time on an official collaboration.
The release also comes with an entertaining music video directed by Olu The Wave. Set in a courtroom, the visual features Naira Marley as the judge and Ayo Maff as a defendant wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. Popular skit makers Shank Comics, Kiddbaby, Kamo and Dezny also appear in the video.
