"Take It Back" is a song by the progressive rock group Pink Floyd, released as the seventh track on their 1994 album, The Division Bell. It was also released as a single on 16 May 1994, the first from the album, and Pink Floyd's first for seven years. The music for the song was written by guitarist David Gilmour and album co-producer Bob Ezrin, with lyrics by Gilmour, his wife Polly Samson and Nick Laird-Clowes.
Guitarist David Gilmour used an E-bow on a Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar that is processed through a Zoom effects box, then directly injected into the board.
The lyrics include a common British reading of the nursery rhyme, Ring a Ring o' Roses, during its instrumental section.
