Whatever It Takes

"Whatever It Takes" is a pop rock track by Imagine Dragons, released in 2017 as the third single from their album Evolve. The song blends driving rhythms with layered guitar textures typical of the band's polished arena rock sound. For electric guitarists, it offers a solid introduction to clean, percussive rhythm playing and the kind of tight, hook-driven riffing that defines modern pop rock production.

  • The song appeared on the Evolve album in 2017, Imagine Dragons' third studio release on Interscope Records.
  • It served as the official theme for WWE's Battleground PPV event, giving the track wide exposure beyond radio.
  • The track was also featured in the video game Madden NFL 18, making it a recognizable piece of mid-2010s pop rock culture.

Fender Telecaster

Wayne Sermon's primary instrument for Imagine Dragons, the Telecaster's bright single-coil pickups and natural clarity enable his precise palm-muting technique and aggressive downpicking to cut through without heavy effects. The high-output bridge pickup paired with increased action prevents buzz during the band's clean-to-slightly-overdriven tones, making every picking articulation audible.
