"Take a Bow" was written and produced by StarGate and Ne-Yo. The song premiered on March 14, 2008, on the KIIS-FM radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest.[1] "Take a Bow" was released as the fifth overall single from Good Girl Gone Bad, but the first from the re-release of the album, entitled Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded.[2] "Take a Bow" was made available to purchase in media outlets, via Def Jam Recordings' website, on the same day as its radio premiere in the United States[3] later being made available to download via iTunes on May 6, 2008.[4] The song is written in the key of E major and is set in simple time with a metronome of 82 beats per minute.[5] Rihanna's vocal range in the song spans from the low note of E3 to the high note of C♯5.[5] Musically, it is a pop and R&B song[6] that also incorporates elements of dance-pop,[5] whilst lyrically, "Take a Bow" tells of how the female protagonist expresses disinterest in rekindling her relationship with a dishonorable and unfaithful ex-boyfriend.[2]

 
R&B singer Ne-Yo entirely wrote the lyrics to the song[2]

Critical reception

edit

"Take a Bow" received mixed reviews from music critics. Upon the song's release as an official single, Nick Levine of Digital Spy commented its choice for the promotion of Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, writing that the singer could have chosen "Breakin' Dishes" which served as a promotional single for Good Girl Gone Bad and charted at number four on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart in February 2008[7]—but had opted for "Take a Bow" due to it being new and more likely to find a receptive audience.[6] Levine continued in his review to write that although the ballad succeeds in its mission of telling of a failed relationship, he noted that the song was not at the same level as the singer's previous single, "Don't Stop the Music" (2007). Levine cited that his reason for this was that "'Take a Bow' does what it sets out to do very well, but it's an underwhelming follow-up to the dancefloor rush of 'Don't Stop The Music'".[6] Levine also commented on the song with regard to the other new songs included on the re-release, "Disturbia" and "If I Never See Your Face Again" (a collaboration with Maroon 5), as part of his review of Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, writing that "Take a Bow" is inferior to the former, but superior to the latter.[8] Natalie Zfat of Rolling Stone gave it three and a half out of five stars.[9]

Music video

edit

The music video was directed by Anthony Mandler,[31] who had previously directed Rihanna videos for "Hate That I Love You" and "Shut Up and Drive".[31] The video was shot in Venice, Los Angeles on April 3, 2008.[32] The video begins with Rihanna standing in front of a black backdrop for the opening of the song. As the first verse starts, the scene is intercut with another of Rihanna looking out the window at her boyfriend and standing behind the front door as he approaches and asks to come in. As Rihanna walks way from the door singing the lyrics "Don't tell me you're sorry cos you're not", the viewer realizes that her boyfriend has perhaps done something wrong and been unfaithful. During the first chorus and second verse, Rihanna is shown in a different outfit, this time sitting in a silver Porsche in a garage. As Rihanna pulls out of the garage and onto the street, her ex-boyfriend walks alongside the car as she drives and begs her to forgive him; she pulls away. For the bridge, Rihanna is shown sitting on a bed as well as in front of the black backdrops as she reads a text message from her ex-boyfriend, who asks to meet her. During the last chorus, Rihanna appears in a different outfit and walks into a lounge, where she puts some clothes on a table and then sits on a sofa. As her ex-boyfriend walks in, the singer gets up and walks over to the clothes, where she withdraws some matches and strikes one, dropping it on what is made aware to be some of her ex-boyfriend's clothes. As the song comes to and end, Rihanna walks out of the room whilst he tries to put out the fire.

Erika Brooks Adickman of Idolator commented that Rihanna had once again changed her hair style and was wearing a red jacket which looked similar to the one Paula DeAnda's video "Walk Away (Remember Me)".[33] Adickman continued to compare the content of the video to Flo Rida's "Low", writing that it was her first music video to contain an in-depth plot. [33]
