Ella Henderson first wrote this euphoric floor filler in the mid-2010s but after splitting from Simon Cowell's Syco label in 2018 she was unable to release it. The English singer eventually signed to Atlantic Records' Major Toms/Asylum and reworked the tune for her new label. Henderson told The Sun: "It's a message to myself about taking care of yourself physically and mentally and what I love about it is it's got an anthemic vibe - I was just really excited to bring it back."
Henderson wrote the song with Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, whose other work as a pair includes Justin Bieber's "Sorry," Hailee Steinfeld's "Love Myself," and Selena Gomez' "Lose You to Love Me." Henderson explained to Official Charts.com: "When I wrote 'Take Care of You,' I couldn't put into words how I was feeling, but alongside two of my favorite writers in the world, Julia and Justin, they helped me turn my thoughts into song. This song is for everyone I love, as well as a message of self-care - a personal reminder to look after myself, both mentally and physically."
Production comes courtesy of Noel Zancanella, who co-wrote and produced Henderson's worldwide hit "Ghost." Daniel Blume and Joris Mur are also credited as producers.
