Artist and producer Mike Baretz is bringing himself to the foreground with his first single, “Take It That Way”. Previously, he’s worked with the likes of Kota the Friend, Mick Jenkins, Swagg R’Celius, amongst others.

“Take It That Way” is a smooth R&B/pop jam filled with immersive basslines. The track was paired with a nostalgia-imbued visual.

“I think we’ve all felt at times that we can cling to the things we are close to even when we can see the flaws and shortcomings staring right back at us. ‘Take It That Way’ is about trying to hold on to that person despite seeing all the cracks in the foundation. It can be so easy to ignore all of the downsides and just latch on to the familiarity and comfort of someone you care about, even when it may not be working,” Mike Baretz says while commenting about the song.
