With "Take it Back", Solid State asks the question, "Why don't we dance in couples anymore?" The popularization among urban youth of dancing in mass groups (rave culture) or the soloing format of street forms such as Breakdancing, has created an environment where individuals can dance however and whenever they want to.

In an attempt to create a social partner dance that speaks to a generation of individuals, Solid State has paired the high physicality of B-boying (Breakdance) with the partnering structures of LindyHop (Swing) which like B-boying is a street dance based on free-styling or improvisation. This cooperation of styles breathes with freedom, and spontaneity as the dancers wrestle with the awkwardness of asking each other to dance, dancing close together, and shifting between leading and following roles.
