"Take Your Time" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Sam Hunt. It was released to country radio, by MCA Nashville on November 24, 2014 as the second single from his debut studio album Montevallo (2014). Capitol Records headed the song's further promotion to pop and adult pop radio stations in the spring of 2015. The song became Hunt's second consecutive single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in February 2015. The song was written by Hunt, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.
The song is a mid-tempo ballad with a "half-spoken, half-sung delivery" about a man approaching a woman and expressing a desire to know her more closely. It was written by Hunt, Josh Osborne, and Shane McAnally, and was produced by McAnally and Zach Crowell.
Giving it an "A", Jon Freeman of Country Weekly noted the "futuristic production" and said "It's an incredibly seductive bit of songcraft, heightened by the way Sam confidently glides from his breathy speaking voice to his silky smooth, R&B-influenced vocal instrument". Billy Dukes of Taste of Country also gave the song a positive review, saying that "As a singer, the Georgia-born ex-footballer holds his own, but doesn’t make any attempts to prove he’s the next Ronnie Dunn. Vocally, he’s more about style than power on ‘Take Your Time,’ a sincere ballad about meeting a beautiful woman at the bar." Website For The Country Record was less favorable, praising Hunt's vocals but criticizing the lack of a country influence.
The music video was directed by Tim Mattia and premiered on March 13, 2015. The video's storyline involving domestic violence is much different than that of the song's wherein a young man wanting simply to talk to a young woman at a bar.
