When it came to writing his latest hit, "Take It from Me," Jordan Davis has to share writing credit with his brother Jacob Davis, who's also had a single called "What I Wanna Be."
"It was Jacob's idea," admits Jordan in a statement from his label, about the origins of "Take It From Me." "He came in and said he'd always loved that idea or loved that saying and thought that there was a cool way to kind of have a twist on it.
"We got told a lot growing up, 'Take it from me. Don't do that. Learn from experience.' We initially tried to write it, kind of as a grandpa kind of saying, 'Take it from me. Do this, do that.' But I had just written a song about him a couple days before, maybe a week before and those are tough ones to write," he continues. "I didn't know if I could do that again.
"So, I had to find a cool way to write it. I was like, 'Man, let's just take it more literal.' That John Anderson T-shirt that got stolen from Jacob was the line that kind of sparked that. You know, 'it's my favorite, but you can keep it.' So, it was a fun write. It was a fun write."
