The sister duo just debuted the visual for their new single “Take Me” on Thursday (September 14), produced by director and screenwriter Alex Ross Perry with cinematography by Sean Price Williams.
The video also features appearances by Silicon Valley‘s Amanda Crew, Twin Peaks star Madeline Zima and La La Land‘s Josh Pence.
“Shooting a vampire themed video is difficult for somebody like myself who ceases to function after 11 PM, but the enthusiasm and positivity of Aly & AJ motivated the entire crew and resulted in a video full of images I am incredibly proud of,” says the director.
It’s been 10 years since Aly & AJ last released music under their eponymous name but they’re ready for a major comeback!
The sister duo shared their new single “Take Me” earlier this summer and are getting ready to debut their EP Ten Years soon!
Just Jared recently went behind-the-scenes of Aly & AJ‘s Refinery29 shoot and caught up with them about everything from inspirations to growing up Disney and social media.
Here’s what Aly & AJ had to share:
JJ: Are there any other major life events in the past ten years that have informed your new music?
Aly: I think moving out of our family home, having our parents go through a divorce and then my marriage 2 years ago were all big events that affected this new music. We’ve always been artists that write about personal experiences so it’s something that’s bound to happen when getting into the studio.

The Aly & AJ comeback is now in full swing with the release of their brand new single called “Take Me,” which you can stream right here!
The track is the first music release from the sister-duo – Aly Michalka and AJ Michalka – in ten years. It serves as the lead single from their upcoming EP, which is set to follow later this year.
“‘Take Me‘ for us is kind of one of those songs that’s just very honest. It’s not really written about anyone in particular, just the fact that I’ve been going through the dating scene a little bit,” AJexpressed about the song. “Aly is married, but I’ve seen what I’ve gone through in the sense of just trying to meet someone that can be bold enough to take you out and want to get to know you beyond getting to know you on social media. It’s kind of hard to find. At the end of the day, it was one of those frustrations in the studio where it was like, ‘Just take me out already. If you want to get this done and want to get to know each other, you’re going to have to get to know me first.’ It’s an honest depiction toward my dating life, just really saying, ‘If this is what you want, make it happen.’ I think that song is a really honest moment for us.”
You can also stream “Take Me” on Spotify and download it on iTunes now!
