"Take Me Home" is a song written and performed by English drummer, singer and songwriter Phil Collins. It is the tenth and final track on Collins' third solo album, No Jacket Required. Collins co-produced the song with Hugh Padgham and released it as a single in the UK in July 1985 and the U.S. in March 1986. It did moderately well in the UK, peaking at No. 19.[1] While it was not as successful as other singles from the album, such as "Sussudio" or "One More Night" in the US, it still reached the top 10, peaking at No. 7.[2]
The "extended mix" of "Take Me Home", released on the 12-inch single, was one of the six songs to be included on Collins' 12"ers album. John "Tokes" Potoker created an edited extended mix of the song for the Japanese release of 12"ers, removing around one and half minutes from the full length mix.
In a readers poll, Rolling Stone ranked "Take Me Home" number five on their list of ten best Collins songs.[3]
