“Taking Me Back” can be heard below and is featured in the trailer for the latest Call of Duty game titled Call of Duty: Vanguard, which comes out November 5.

Additionally, an alternate version of the song dubbed “Taking Me Back (Gently)” has also been released and features a significantly more subdued arrangement.
