The Weeknd co-wrote and produced the song alongside Oscar Holter and Max Martin, with additional songwriting credits to Belly, Andrea Di Ceglie, and Luigi Tutolo​​. The lyrics depict a sensual and intense relationship, with refeerences to being on the edge and pushing boundaries. The Weeknd sings about the allure of temptation being like "the devil in disguise" and explores the dynamics of a relationship where one partner seeks to indulge in their deepest fantasies. The song articulates a desire for an exhilarating experience, with lines like "Take my breath away / And make it last forever, babe" highlighting a wish for a love that is both profound and eternal​​​​. Critics and fans have analyzed the lyrics as portraying a tale of seduction and submission, where the protagonist is drawn into a partner's desires, potentially to the point of danger. The song has been interpreted as exploring themes beyond mere physical attraction, delving into the complexities of love, lust, and the lengths individuals will go to feel alive. Some interpretations suggest the song touches on the concept of sexual asphyxiation, a theme that aligns with The Weeknd's penchant for incorporating edgy and provocative topics into his music​​. "Take My Breath" was well-received by both critics and fans, earning accolades for its production and The Weeknd's vocal performance. Its accompanying music video further amplifies the song's themes with vivid imagery and a narrative that captures the essence of its lyrics. Despite being a hit, the music video was noted for its intense strobe lighting, leading to epilepsy warnings and its withdrawal from certain screenings​​.

Take My Breath (Extended Version) by The Weeknd


Take my breath
Take my breath
Take my breath
Take my breath
I saw the fire in your eyes
I saw the fire when I look into your eyes
You tell me things you wanna try (Uh)
I know temptation is the devil in disguise
You risk it all to feel alive, oh yeah
You're offering yourself to me like sacrifice
You said you do this all the time
Tell me you love me if I bring you to the light
It's like a dream what she feels with me
She loves to be on the edge
Her fantasy is okay with me
Then suddenly, baby says
Take my breath away
And make it last forever, babe
Do it now or never, babe (Ah)
Take my breath away
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to-
Want me to hold on to you tight
You pull me closer, feel the heat between your thighs (Uh, say)
You're way too young to end your life (Huh)
Girl, I don't wanna be the one who pays the price
Ooh, it's like a dream what she feels with me
She loves to be on the edge
Her fantasy is okay with me
Then suddenly, baby says
Take my breath away
And make it last forever, babe
Do it now or never, babe (Ah)
Take my breath away
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to heaven, babe (Uh)
Take my breath
Oh, oh-ooh
And they'll see me
Oh-ooh, ooh (Yeah, say)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Take my breath away (Take my breath away)
And make it last forever, babe
Do it now or never, babe (Ah)
Take my breath away (Take my breath away)
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to heaven, babe (Take my breath)
Take my breath (Take my breath a-, breath away)
(Nobody)
Take my breath (Take my breath a-, breath away)
Nobody does it better, babe
Bring me close to heaven, babe (Uh)
Take my breath
