Whatever It Takes

"Whatever It Takes" is a song by American pop rock band Imagine Dragons, released as a promotional single on May 9, 2017, through Kidinakorner and Interscope. It later became the third single from the band's third studio album, Evolve. The track's driving rhythm and layered guitar parts make it a solid choice for electric guitar players looking to explore modern pop rock production and rhythm techniques.

  • The song was initially released as a promotional single before becoming the third official single from Imagine Dragons' album Evolve.
  • "Whatever It Takes" served as the official theme song for WWE's PPV event Battleground, giving it wide mainstream exposure.
  • The track was also featured in the video game Madden NFL 18, helping it reach a broad audience beyond traditional rock listeners.

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.
