"Take Ya Home" is the second and final single from Lil' Bow Wow's second album Doggy Bag (2001). The song also serves as the theme song to the 2002 family film Like Mike, which was Bow Wow's first starring role in a motion picture. It samples "Have a Nice Day" by Roxanne Shante.{{Cite web|url=https://www.whosampled.com/sample/6348/Lil%27-Bow-Wow-Take-Ya-Home-Roxanne-Shant%C3%A9-Have-a-Nice-Day/|title=Lil' Bow Wow's 'Take Ya Home' – Discover the Sample Source|website=WhoSampled}}

Although the liner notes for the Doggy Bag album list Aaliyah Minter and Khim Davis as having vocal appearances on the song, in many other areas "Take Ya Home" is shown to be a feature-less record.
