Ciara - "Da Girls" + 8th Album

[Toshi]

Me and my boyfriend were watching youtube while being high last night and I played him Dance Like We're Making Love, which left him speechless. He then asked me to "introduce" him to Ciara's catalogue and that was a fun run.

But really, what a song and video, maybe one of my most favorite pop videos ever.

This deserved to be a world wide #1 smash! The dancing alone is just incredible in the video.

Ded.

 

[Creguk]

I want an album!

 

[Mr.Arroz]

I want an album!

It'll be on TIDAL soon, just wait 7 months!

Not really feeling this one…

 

[-M-]

She’s serving album track without the album with this one. The weakest out of her recent singles for sure.

 

[Tchelitchew]

I'm a huge fan, but her latest stuff has been too memey for me. I want something more substantive. This is the girl that brought us "Promise"!

 

[jawow_]

I'm actually feeling this one, guys. It's not the best thing she's ever released but this bops.

This is for all the girls that's I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

 

[timothy_b]

She should’ve asked Chloe for Body Do.

I think her music right now has meme-y vibes in the hope that some song or other will take off on TikTok.

Far better than so many other artists who just fade away when they're no longer hitting the top of the charts. Cici is keeping her fans fed and has fresh material to tour/showcase whenever she wants.

Does Billboard still have separate R&B charts? A decade+ ago, there was a whole bevvy of R&B girls who made a healthy career going Top 10 on the R&B charts and rarely/never bothing the Hot 100 Top 40. No reason why Ciara can't be that girl now.

the problem is the song goes absolutely nowhere

Does Billboard still have separate R&B charts? A decade+ ago, there was a whole bevvy of R&B girls who made a healthy career going Top 10 on the R&B charts and rarely/never bothering the Hot 100 Top 40. No reason why Ciara can't be that girl now.

Yep, there's the Hot R&B Songs Chart and the Hot R&B / Hip-Hop Songs Chart. However, Ciara hasn't appeared on it since "Level Up" peaked at No. 4 on the Hot R&B Songs Chart. She still charts on the R&B Digital Song Sales Chart, but doesn't perform as well on charts that also include airplay and streaming in their metrics. Streaming seems to be her weak point.

These AI-generated #girlboss lyrics. This is not good.

 

[Leopold]

Write an empowering R&B Pop song in the style of Ciara.

Verse 1:
I've been holding back for so long
Afraid to speak up, afraid to be wrong
But I'm done with the fear, done with the pain
I'm breaking free and I'm never looking back again

Pre-Chorus:
I'm not gonna let anyone hold me down
I'm not gonna let anyone steal my crown
I'm gonna shine, gonna rise above
I'm gonna show the world what I'm made of

Chorus:
I'm unstoppable, unbreakable
I'm a force to be reckoned with
I'm a queen, I'm a fighter
And I'm never gonna quit
I'm powerful, I'm beautiful
I'm a masterpiece in motion
I'm gonna take the world by storm
Cause I'm living my life like Ciara

Verse 2:
I used to hide behind my insecurities
Thinking I wasn't good enough, but that was just a lie
Now I know who I am, and I won't apologize
For being strong, for being bold, for being me, for being alive

Pre-Chorus:
Chorus:
Bridge:

I'm not perfect, but I'm perfectly flawed
And that's what makes me beautiful, that's what makes me strong
I'm not gonna let anyone dim my light
Cause I'm shining too bright, and I'm not afraid to fight

Chorus:

Outro:
Living my life like Ciara
Living my life like Ciara
Living my life like Ciara
Living my life like Ciara
