"Taken" is a song by New Zealand band Stellar*, released as the second single from their second album, Magic Line (2001), in January 2002. It became the band's last top-10 single in New Zealand, reaching number six. The single includes a dance remix of "All It Takes" by former Nine Inch Nails member Charlie Clouser as well as an acoustic version of the title track, recorded at the now defunct Helen Young Studios in December 2001.
Background Vocalist Boh Runga said that she liked the song before Jack Joseph Puig mixed it, but after he did, she liked the song even more, calling it "sexy".
