This track marks the first collaboration between PARIS. and Roy Woods. “Take the Lead” was self-engineered by PARIS., produced by waytoolost (Nasty C, NLE Choppa, Rylo Rodriguez), and mixed and mastered by Nick Niker.
PARIS. leads the track with swagger as he reps his home base of Burnaby and Vancouver and serenades a Toronto love interest, singing, “The way I’mma do it, said she gotta take off tomorrow.” He continues, “With you, girl, I wanna chill and stay in / F-ck the club, I want that home love, girl, I’m a thug, I don’t know love.”
In his verse, Roy Woods flips the script as the Toronto-based artist swoons over a West Coast woman, singing, “She from Vancouver, shawty gon’ f-ck on me, love on me, do what she want to me, give me exclusive.”
About the new release, PARIS. says, “This song bridges the gap between Toronto and Vancouver – that’s what I love about it. It empowers both West Coast and East Coast women. Roy is such a respected and highly talented artist, so I’m happy we got to work together. He’s so dope melodically and has crazy range. Our brands align well too, we’re both for the girls. It made perfect sense for him to feature. Shout out to Roy, his team, and his management at OVO.”
Roy Woods adds, “It was easy and fun to write this song with PARIS. The concept was dope to begin with, and PARIS. did a great job on his end to bring back a classic 2015-2016 vibe, so adding my unique touch was a simple task.”
