Take a bow – Rihanna
i think it was right after i heard rihanna’s song “dont stop the music” or “hate that i love you” i heard her new single “Take a bow” (sorry if im a bit late).
at first i thought she releases a new album coz i had a copy of her album “Good Girl Gone Bad” on my Ipod, usually after my shift i often saw a new album release in a music store here in SM Megamall they usually have posters of those new album and I am a bit lazy that time i didnt enter the store coz i saw Mariah Carey’s big poster E=MC2 album poster and thought that they havent got a copy of the new album of rihanna.
usually i pay a visit to my loving itunes store since they offer sample copy of new songs they got and then there it was rihanna’s take a bow so i listen to it.
“Take a Bow” is a song written by R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and production-team Stargate for the re-release of Rihanna’s third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad. It is the first single from the re-release edition of the album.
another Neyo compose song offcourse it would be great, the message is very easy to get and understand its actually on the lyrics it self, i think this was one of the few reason why the song hits the charts coz of its direct message. unlike other songs that there is hidden message and a bit quite hard to understand the meaning of the song.
rihanna really expresses the music and lyrics of the song thats why it was a big hit and people can relate to the meaning of it
heres how the single hits the charts
