Take Me With U is the second track on Prince's sixth album Purple Rain, the first album to be credited to Prince and the Revolution. Seven months after the album's release, Take Me With U was released as the album's fifth and final single (released only in the USA and New Zealand). The track is also featured in the movie Purple Rain.

In 2002, a live version was also included as the second track on the second disc of One Nite Alone... Live!, Prince's first live album (with no other tracks included from the same show).

Initial tracking took place on 27 January 1984, at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (seven days after A Million Miles (I Love You), five days before Tricky).

The track was initially intended to be credited to Apollonia 6 and it was included as the first track on a 29 February 1984 configuration of the Apollonia 6 album, before being added to the final configuration of Purple Rain, compiled on 14 April 1984 (its inclusion made it necessary for Let's Go Crazy and Computer Blue to be shortened).

The recording used on both albums was the same (although edited for time restrictions on Purple Rain), and was always intended as a duet between Prince and Apollonia.
