If u mean the ballad trend.. Rihanna already released Unfaithful before Irreplaceable and smashed.. I cant think of a single rih song that sounds like Irreplaceable

As said before, piano ballad Take a Bow followed in the footsteps of previous single (and also piano ballad), Unfaithful.
If anything, Irreplaceable was inspired by Sexy Love and So Sick by Ne-Yo, but he wrote all three of the songs around the same time.

The song sports Ne-Yo's unique feel for lyrics ("You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on"). It is a kiss-off to a former lover and not dissimilar in content to another huge Ne-Yo and Stargate collaboration, Beyonce's mega-smash "Irreplaceable." The production utilizes brief spoken asides by Rihanna to great effect. It's her "please!" and dismissive giggle that are likely to be the most memorable elements from this effort.
The keyboard-based backing of "Take a Bow" is, by now, standard Stargate and does not challenge their best. However, you are likely to find yourself singing along after the first few times through, and that should be enough right now to keep Rihanna in good graces with pop radio programmers.
