"Take A Bow", released on
December 6, 1994, is the second single from Madonna's sixth
studio album Bedtime Stories (1994). Following the sexually
explicit persona portrayed by Madonna on her previous album,
Erotica, she wanted to tone down her image for Bedtime
Stories. Experimenting with a new musical direction and a
more radio-friendly sound, Madonna decided to collaborate
with Babyface, whose work with other musicians had impressed
her. The pop-ballad developed after she listened to the
basic beat and chords of a piece of music composed by him.
"Take A Bow" lyrically talks about unrequited love and
Madonna saying goodbye. The song topped the national
hitlists in the United States and Canada. |
