Why wasn't this released as an international single? I think it's quite a good powerful ballad. Much better then Rihanna's version of the same name.

No, i dont think it has or will ever be released. One of the best songs on the album, wished it would be a single, but that dream wont come true

I love this song, my favourite off her original album. Shame it wasn't released and I think the chances of it being released are slim to none

Leona's working on her new album now which is penned for a late 2009 release so I doubt she'll be releasing any more songs from Spirit this year.

It obviously was going to be a single - its one of the standouts from the album - BUT Rhianna got there first with her single.

Did it really matter that Rihanna released a track with the same name first?

They are completely different, and it's not like every song has a unique name!

But yeah, I agree that Take A Bow was the best track on her album and definitely should have been released.

I don't know why they released IWB as a single, the track is weak TAB would've been a brilliant choice.

I love IWB, but granted it isn't the strongest of choices, I think FM would have been a better US release and then Run. I do however love TAB also, and think if they hadn't taken so long releasing aterial they could have released TAB in the US aswel. 5 singles in 12 months in the US isn't unreasonable. I mean Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift etc all do it as did Rihanna.

FM -- It's so obvious from just hearing it that Akon wrote it.... when I heard he was writing for her I didn't have high hopes for the quality of the song and my opinion hasn't changed! Not only that, it sounds like 'Sweet escape' It still may have done good in the states.

IWB is better than 'Take a bow'. I hated 'Take a bow' as soon as I heard it.

Take A Bow is one of the strongest songs on the album. I think it'd have been a massive hit but the Rihanna song put an end to that ever happening. There's no way it wasn't originally going to be a single - it's just too good to have remained an album-only track.

Completely agree

My goodness for a moment I thought (after Snow Patrol) Leona had covered a MUSE track .. couldn't imagine her singing about 'burning in hell for your sins' .. but stranger things and all that.
