It seems Beyoncés smash song “Irreplaceable” is, well, irreplaceable to the man who wrote it.

And that’s none other than RnB crooner Ne-Yo!

The ‘Closer’ singer admits he really regrets giving the pop diva the catchy tune, which subsequently went on to be a HUGE hit for Queen Bey!

In an interview with Choice FM, he moaned,

“One song that I gave away and didn't want to is Beyoncé's 'Irreplaceable'. I honestly wrote that song for myself."

But, while he may still be a tad bitter about it, he does reckon it was probably better suited to the bootylicious babe after all.

“A man singing it comes across a little bit misogynistic,” he added. “A little bit mean.”

Meanwhile, we wonder if Ne-Yo’s regretting his recent mouthing-off to reality TV princess Snooki yet…
