Background and release
On 9 March 2015 Darin shared a clip on his Instagram account announcing the release of his first self-written single in Swedish. In the clip, he writes "Ta mig tillbaka" on a sheet of paper, which was later revealed to be the single's title. On 10 March Darin changed the cover photo of his Facebook page, revealing the release date of "Ta mig tillbaka" scheduled for 13 March. The single, which tells the memories from Darin's childhood, was released in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark and it was performed at the Norwegian-Swedish talk show Skavlan[1] the same day. It immediately peaked the Swedish iTunes singles chart and entered the top 10 iTunes singles chart in Norway. The single peaked the Swedish digital chart at number 1 on 3 May. It was later gold certified on 5 May and platinum certified on 19 May.
Music video
The music video of the single was released on 4 May on Darin's YouTube channel. It was directed by James Velasquez and filmed in Stockholm on 16, 17 and 24 March. In an interview with Darin Worldwide, Darin said that he "wanted the video to be one with the lyrics and the music, so there's a magical but simple feeling to it, with old clips of me and things from the time when I grew up in the '90s".[2]
