A Song That Hits Pause and Soars
Ever find yourself at a crossroads, ready to let go of the past and embrace what’s next? That’s the heart of Take Some Time by Three Second Chances, a soulful adult contemporary, singer-songwriter, and pop rock single dropped in April 2025. With its heavy synths, gospel-infused breakdown, and Jacyn’s soaring vocals, it’s a fresh, slower vibe for the Boston trio—a perfect blend of reflection and joy. As adult contemporary and pop rock vibe with 2025’s feel-good wave, this track’s a must-hear. Let’s unpack why it’s so special and meet the 40-somethings behind it!
The Soul and Swagger of “Take Some Time”
Take Some Time comes out swinging with a bold synth blast—think moody, cinematic, like something from a John Hughes flick reimagined for today. The energy dips into a quiet, reflective verse, where Jacyn’s voice shines with raw emotion, singing of leaving behind bad relationships or seizing new starts. The lyrics (paraphrased for vibe) like “Take some time, let it go, find your way” feel universal, speaking to anyone stepping into a new chapter—be it a job move, a breakup, or just a fresh day. Then, the chorus explodes with joyful pop rock energy, backed by a tight rhythm section from Ben and Joey that lifts you up.
The track’s signature breakdown is pure magic—gospel choir vibes and refrains build to a splashy finale where Jacyn’s vocals soar like a rocket, full of hope and release. It’s a slower, soulful pivot for Three Second Chances, leaning into adult contemporary’s warmth while keeping pop rock’s edge, evoking Fleetwood Mac’s heart or Maggie Rogers’ modern shine. At around 4 minutes (fitting their style), it’s got room to breathe, perfect for radio spins or cozy playlist vibes. X posts are buzzing, with fans calling it “a soul hug” and “Jacyn’s voice slays,” hinting at TikTok potential for clips of life transitions or joyful dance moments.
Three Second Chances is a trio of 40-somethings—Jacyn, Ben, and Joey—from Massachusetts, born from epic dinner parties obsessed with global cuisine and good tunes. Picture 2019: Ben’s Valentine’s Day Thai-themed bash at Joey’s, complete with a giant piano, sparks their Yacht Pop™ sound—smooth, fun, and a bit cheeky. They’re all about inspiring the middle-aged to chase dreams, with a love for reasonable bedtimes and music that’s “ear candy.” Since forming, they’ve dropped hits celebrating their over-40 origin story, and Take Some Time follows 2024’s buzz, showing a deeper, soulful side. Their live shows, often with guests like comedian Kelly MacFarland, are pure fun, per their site.
Adult contemporary and pop rock are thriving in 2025, with playlists like Spotify’s Chill Pop and Soft Rock packed with heartfelt anthems from artists like Norah Jones or The Revivalists. Take Some Time fits right in, its themes of moving forward resonating in a year of fresh starts, as seen in posts about personal growth across X. The gospel breakdown adds a unique twist, aligning with 2025’s love for soulful crossovers—think Leon Bridges’ vibe. Whether you’re vibing at a coffee shop or blasting it on a road trip, this track’s got the power to move you.
Take Some Time to Feel the Joy
Take Some Time is Three Second Chances hitting a soulful new stride—a track that’s reflective, joyful, and packed with Jacyn’s unforgettable vocals. It’s a middle-aged triumph I’m rooting for.
