"Take Me with U" was the final U.S. single released from Prince and The Revolution's smash album, "Purple Rain". The song is fairly standard pop music, notable for the drum solo and finger cymbals that open the song and repeat again toward the end.

The song is sung as a duet with Apollonia Kotero, and was originally intended for the "Apollonia 6" album, but was pulled for the "Purple Rain" soundtrack. An unfortunate result of this addition was making crucial cuts to the suite-like original "Computer Blue," which circulates amongst collectors in a superior, though unreleased, extended version (a portion of this second section of "Computer Blue" can be heard in the film "Purple Rain" as Prince walks in on the men of The Revolution rehearsing.) Regardless, "Take Me with U" was a welcome addition to the album, showing a softer side of Prince, and becoming his first "official" duet.

The single was released with an edit of album track "Baby I'm a Star" as its B-side, and reached #25 on the Top-40 chart in the U.S. In the UK, the song was issued as a double A-sided single, coupled with "Let's Go Crazy", reaching #7 in February 1985.
