"Take a Picture" was the second single off Filter's Title of Record. The song became a major hit during the start of 2000. It was the band's first departure from the industrial rock that they usually played, instead being soft and melodic. The song's lush synthesized wall of sound and its lyrics, revolving around the chorus: "Could you take my picture? / 'Cause I won't remember", lends it a surreal and dreamlike aura.

- "Take a Picture" was the second single off Filter's Title of Record. The song became a major hit during the start of 2000. It was the band's first departure from the industrial rock that they usually played, instead being soft and melodic. The song's lush synthesized wall of sound and its lyrics, revolving around the chorus: "Could you take my picture? / 'Cause I won't remember", lends it a surreal and dreamlike aura. Filter's frontman, and founding member Richard Patrick has said that the song is about him getting drunk on an airplane, taking off all of his clothes, and fighting with the flight attendants who tried to stop him. This would account for the introductory, and later-repeated, lyrics: "Awake on my airplane, awake on my airplane... my skin is bare, my skin is theirs. " "Take a Picture" also features Patrick's petulant taunt: Hey, Dad, what do you think about your son now? Patrick's father was offended by this line, but Patrick explained to his father that each time he sings the line it has a different meaning because Patrick changes the tone in which he delivers the line each time it's sung. A music video, directed by David Meyers, featured the band in a dreamlike sequence taking place in four different areas; a room being flooded by water, under the ocean with no scuba gear on, on a tiny rowboat in the middle of the ocean, and on the roof of a tiny cottage. Filter played two years in a row at popular Washington, D.C. /Baltimore radio station 99.1 HFStival in which their first year's performance in September 1999 they left out this song, but due to its popularity and mass requests as stated all day during the second year's performance in May 2000 they played the song as the closer. Former Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky provided backing vocals on this track.
- Take a Picture — второй сингл с альбома «Title of Record» группы «Filter». Песня стала хитом начала 2000 года. Её звучание, мягкое и мелодичное, сильно отличается от других песен индастриал-рок-группы.
