创作背景
《Take a Bow》这首歌由Tor Erik Hermansen、Mikkel Eriksen和Shaffer Smith制作并谱写，并于2008年2月15日在KIIS-FM电台节目“On Air with Ryan Seacrest”首播。
整首歌曲的音调主要以E大调为主，运用82BPM的单拍子，Rihanna的声音跨度从E3到C♯5。歌曲风格是R&B和小量的Dance-pop元素。歌曲故事来源于歌曲创作人NE-YO的真实生活，不过歌词中的主人公由男性变成了女性，讲的是女主人公面对前男友的不忠表现出来的一种冷漠。选择Rihanna来演唱,则是看重她嗓音里的那股"不在意一切"的感觉。
歌词
Oh how about a round of applause
Yeah a standing ovation
Ooh whoa yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please just cut it out
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Ooh oh
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Ooh oh
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Ooh oh
Very entertaining
But it's over now
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow
Oh-oh
Grab your clothes and get gone
Get gone
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on
Come on
Talking' bout' "Girl I love you you're the one"
This just looks like the re-run
Please what else is on
Ooh oh
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Mmm
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Ooh oh
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Ooh oh
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Ooh oh
Very entertaining
But it's over now
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow
Oh and the award for the best liar goes to you
Goes to you
For making me believe
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech oh
How 'bout a round of applause
A standing ovation
But you put on quite a show
Ooh oh
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Ooh oh
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Ooh oh
Very entertaining
But it's over now
But it's over now
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now
