 TITLE: Taken ARTIST: Sara Daniels WRITERS: Sara Daniels, Vara Gallo LENGTH: 3:19 GENRE: Dance-pop, electropop PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky LABEL: Titanic Records RELEASED: February 27th, 2015 From the Album: Heart Drop (Released:October 22nd, 2014)
Sara Daniels' seventh track on his debut album, "Taken," is by far the sexiest track on the album. While several other of the tracks stay in Sara's general comfort zone of the pop-rock, this one branches out into the almost industrial dance-pop genre. It's definitely the type of track that somebody would expect to hear in a low-lit dance club, where people are dressed in tight clothing and leather. It's that kind of song. Woohoo. It's also the most sexually explicit song that Sara has ever written, where she implies several sexual acts and sexually charged meetings with the man in her song. While most of her songs haven't been considered "family friendly" songs for her language, this is the first song to give Sara a very sexual image - proving that she's not just the young girl that was on Around the World. The song was co-written by Sara's friend, Vara Gallo, who has a lot more experience than Sara at flaunting her sexuality and writing sexually explicit songs. While the song is definitely fitting for Sara, it is also very obvious that Vara Gallo had a hand in writing it - especially with the industrial undertones of the music, and the somewhat simple lyrics.
The song describes an affair that Sara is taking part in with a married man. She starts off the song by somewhat explaining the situation, saying that they're posing as just friends, but in honesty, "friendship ain't the half of it."She goes on to say in the next verse that nobody has suspected them yet because both of them have been so good at hiding it. Up until this point, the listener has only been told that this person she's having an affair with is "taken," but it's not until the second verse that we're told that the man is actually married. Sara slyly slips this piece of information in by describing the wife innocently wanting his husband home for dinner. Sara not-so-innocently counters this request by singing that the husband can't come home for dinner because he's too busy "eating" her. That's dirty, Sara.
The chorus is a repetition of the line, "My man's already taken (yeah)," three times before singing, "But his heart is all mine." This four-line chorus is repeated a second time before going into the second part of the chorus. The song makes the relationship seem like it's all centered on sex, but the line, "But his heart is all mine," skews that assumption a bit. It's unknown whether there really is love between Sara and the man that she's having an affair with, or if it's only in Sara's mind - like in the minds of many women who get into affairs with married men - that the man really does love her, and is going to leave his wife for her. The second part of the chorus is, "Run, run, lying, lying / Feelings we're fighting, fighting" repeated twice, describing their nightly ritual of running from and lying to the people that don't know what's going on between the two of them. She mentions that they're fighting feelings for each other - another sign that there is either something more going on between the two of them, or that Sara is imagining that there's something more going on between the two of them.
In the third and fourth verses, Sara just describes more of their deceitful relationship, describing how sexual attracted they are too each other, even to the point that all she has to do is put her hands on him, and her clothes fall right off of her body. She goes on to say that them seeing each other is a nightly occurrence, using the moonlight to hide them. In another stream of sexually charged lyrics, Sara assures the listener that they need the moonlight to hide them, because her screams of pleasure are going to echo. That's dirty, Sara. She repeats the chorus again, this time tacking on two more repeats of "Run, run, lying, lying / Feelings we're fighting, fighting" to the end of it before going into the bridge.
The bridge seems to be Sara trying to convince the man that she's having an affair with to continue the relationship with her, telling him that she doesn't want to be anything more than his "whore" if that's all he wants her to be, because he leaves her "so sore" after their encounters. She goes on to give the listener more information on this man she's having an affair with, making it seem like he might be a well-known public figure that several people are attracted to by singing, "Everybody knows you're irresistible, kissable." But Sara feels like she's won because she's the one that gets to sleep with him every night, and because of that, she loves being his "invisible girl." The second part of the chorus seems to describe almost the monotonous nature of having an affair with somebody, saying that they'll keep sneaking, hiding, fighting, and lying until they get caught or bored. Sara assures her secret man, however, that he always leaves her feeling dirty, and that's what she likes, so she probably won't ever get bored of it. The chorus repeats again, and then the song fades out with a heavy bass following it, leaving the tension from the song still somewhat hanging in the air.
