Take Me When You Go is the debut studio album by Australian recording artist Betty Who, released on 3 October 2014 by RCA Records. The album is preceded by the extended plays The Movement, Slow Dancing and Worlds Apart.
Who writes from the perspective of a millennial learning to navigate breakups, loves of all shapes and sizes, and coming to terms with her own growing maturity. In an interview with Billboard she said "A lot of the relationships that inspired this record ended with me coming to terms with [the fact] that I love myself far too much to be anybody's second choice. That was a huge growth for me that led to the arc, the storyline of this record."
Take Me When You Go debuted at number 68 on the Billboard 200, selling 5,000 copies in its first week.
Heather Phares from AllMusic said; "Take Me When You Go has a lot of appealing moments". Phares complemented "The Whitney Houston-inspired 'Somebody Loves You'", and said "'Heartbreak Dream' remains soaringly romantic and 'Alone Again' continues to charm with its flirtatious yet bittersweet melody and slowly shredding guitar solo, which gives even more cred to Who's '80s devotion."
Janine Schaults from Confluence of Sound said "Combining Adele's hopeless romanticism, Pink's spunky streak, and Madonna's early whimsy seems like a potion ready-made for radio domination...Yet, Miss Betty can't shake a 'been there, done that' feel." but added "That's not to say [Who] doesn't conjure exquisite moments. Coincidentally, these fleeting instances of perfection occur when she strips away all the trimmings of a pop princess."
Robbie Daw from Idolator said "Bottom line: Betty Who's first album is as good as you hoped. In that regard, she's done her job and delivered on the promise of that first EP from 18 months ago."
