"Irresistible" is a song by Irish pop rock group The Corrs. It was released on 13 November 2000, as the second single taken from their third studio album In Blue (2000). "Irresistible" was written by The Corrs, and co-written and produced by famed music producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
"Irresistible" is a pop and pop rock song, with lyrics about desiring lifelong love. It received mixed reviews from music critics; some called it a pop hit, while others named it weak. The song was a moderate success, reaching the top-ten in Belgium and New Zealand, while reaching top-twenty in the UK, and top-forty in other countries.
"Irresistible" was released as the second single from "In Blue" (2000), on 13 November 2000. The 7" single included the song and a "Live Acoustic" version of "At Your Side," while the CD-Maxi included both songs and a "Live Acoustic" version of "Somebody for Someone." Similar with the lead single "Breathless", "Irresistible" was also written by The Corrs (Andrea, Caroline, Sharon and Jim) and Robert "Mutt" Lange, who also produced the song.
"Irresistible" is a pop and pop rock song, starting with a startling opening as the guitar swirls around the room before dropping to the more standard stereo vocals with the rears for the backing tracks. It has lyrics of a woman desiring lifelong love, with sexual standards like "Don't want you for the weekend/ Don't want you for a day." In the chorus, they sing, "You're irresistible - natural, physical." The song was included on their compilation album, "Best of The Corrs" (2001).
The song received mixed reviews from music critics. David Beamish of DVDactive called the song, "An obvious candidate for a single as with the rest of the album." Jake C. Taylor of Sputnikmusic named it a "poppy hit." Jane Stevenson of Jam! considered "Irresistible," "one of the album's weaker songs." Chris Charles of BBC News wrote the song "looks like the Ivor Novello's on hold for another year, then."
