After pretty much keeping the music under wraps, Ciara finally gives us a taste of her first single, “Ride,” featuring longtime friend and collaborator, Ludacris.
Ciara announced a while back that for her fourth upcoming studio LP, Basic Instinct, she would be working exclusively with The Dream & Tricky Stewart, which has sort of been a trend this past year (see: Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel and Electrik Red’s How To Be A Lady: Volume 1).
In any event, no release date has been confirmed for the new project, but let’s hope it doesn’t suffer as many delays as last year’s Fantasy Ride did.

Damn poor girl..she truly is talented. Too bad it looks like another flop fer her. She nees to back to Jazze pha. They make magic together and their chemistry is amazing.
uhhh ok? i really wish she would work with danja, polo, hit boy, timbo, or brian kennedy, her voice is mad lite and sooo great for artisticly over produced tracks i need her to have good song writers as well idk cici im on the fence i love you but have not loved your work for 3 albums now you could be sooooo dope with the right A&R the music industry is not what it use to be ciara is to dope for this shit!!!!!
HOT! This is the Ciara I fell in love with! This is the ATL sound she embraced and what made her who she is as a multi platinum recording artist. Urban radio is going to eat this up!
This song is fireeeeeeeeeee. On the first listen i imediately loved it. Tricky and Dream went innnnnnn on this track. This was the right choice for first single most definately.
wtf second listen still nope!!!! ciara take yoooo as to europe and work with robyn shes the shit sence your A&R is such a dumb ass ill hit you with who you should work with it could be sick CIARA and ROBYN robyn writes her as off and her producers kill her new albums gonna kill!!! yall dont know yall body find out dream only writes good songs for himself!!!! and beyonce!!!! lmao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PDNRTCuPyQ ROBYN:be mine!!!! check her out
@ConcreteLoop The name of Ciaras new album is titled Basic Instinct. it has already been confirmed by her label and by ciara herself. Tricky and the dream are ex producing the album.
It is funny to see people use “screw” (music) on their tracks, and half of them don’t know who created, or why it was created, and a lot of them dont even screw the songs right…… smh
I had to get that off my chest….
As far as the track, its cool. I think it will put her where she needs to be if she has a great dancing video with it. Same as she did with “Promise.”
Not a Hit but its OK. its definitely for the urban listeners. This song probably wont cross over at all and that sux because shes a really great artist!!!
OK??!?? DONT TELL ME CIARA GOT THE OTHER STANS WRITING PARAGRAPHS ON MICROSOFT WORD **ONLY** TO BE THE FIRST TO POST THEIR FEELINGS BEFORE THE **STANS** LMAO
I HONESTLY like Ciara first album it was kind of a classic modern R&B-ish CD. . . “MyLove” is my favorite song from her PERIOD (Her best ballad). But I don’t like it when the producers over produce her voice. It’s not a good look and to the general public this won’t be/chart good. I wish her the best though seriously.
OK, I’m liking this this is what i like to hear…Now CiCi What ima need you to do is make us forget about fantasy ride because this right here is where it’s at LETS GOOOOOOOOO
i like it. i don’t get why everybody hates on her. she’s a nice girl. i can at least appreciate her for not resorting to gimmicks like some of the other ladies. she’s keeping it real and i can respect that.
the haters clicked the link 2 hate? hahahahahah haaaaaaaaaa its a hit have a seat.this will be a fun ride 2 the top. nomore fantasies just a nice ride 2 the top hahahah haaaaaaaa #1#CiaraRide#CiaraRide#CiaraRide#CiaraRide
The beat is waaaay to boring to be a hit with radio. Invented Sex got to the top because the beat has VARIATION, something “Ride” severely lacks. It’s the same monotonous melody/base line from verse to chorus. Tricky is usually a beast at creating BIG choruses I dont know why he is ripping Ciara off. The least they could have done was take the synths out of the verses and just save it for the Chorus. Rude boy would be a mess if it kept the same beat all throughout. Instead they laced her up proper and saved the synths for the CHORUS.
Ugh I just don’t get it, I think Jive want’s her to flop. They need to stick with the pop format (meaning popular music not lady gaga stuff) and throw this mixtape song in the garbage.
I loooooooooooooveeeeee it! IIIII Looooooooooovvvvve It!!!!!! I got it on repeat all night as we speak! Ciara is back and the wait was worth while, can’t wait for You Got Me single and Basic Instinct LP! She aint playin yall
Haters need to get a hobby! Crunk music is DEAD! When was the last time Jazzy Phe or Lil John were on the radio or the charts? Good tune Ciara, I cant wait for the video and new album. Basic Instinct 2010 baby!
All you haters need to sit the fuck down! Y’all were the first ones at the damn song commenting! Y’all know y’all live for Ciara and y’all know y’all are walking around the house mumbling the chorus to Ride! BITCHES DOWN FRONT! #HoHaveaSeat! Ciara is snatching these wigs, fusions and scalps! Bow DOW! This song is fire!! HOSIT! AND I AM THRU
Oh and make sure y’all go buy her album when it somes out bitches (which I know you will) but anyway….
You people are delusional! This is a pile of hot mess!
It should be on Mya’s mixtape or Olivia’s album, NOT Ciara’s first single.
The worst part is I’m sure she has much better material that will never get the single treatment, just like Fantasy Ride had “Tell me What your name is”.
I think I’m gonna throw in the towel and start focusing on Rihanna.
She’s an artist that has an ear for music and a ear for what will smash on radio.
This song is da bizness!!…F@ck u hatin azz bishes tryna ruin da moment. U lookin stupid nobody cares about ya ‘lls opinions. This one song shitz on ya favs entire album.
This song is about as catchy as Jlo’s “louibutons” lmao!
Trust me nobody will be humming this boring ass mellowdramatic song
down ANY hallway. Face it, Ciara is done. She has gone the way of Ashanti and Amerie.
Oh please stop with the hater nonsense! Im no hater.
High price >>>>>>> this monotone mess, they should have tried to recreate that.
I get annoyed by the time the “Chorus” comes because the beat is so damn repetitive
and they did nothing to separate the song into parts. Its just one long dreary snoozefest.
@ Quan
Damn right I’m mad!!! I wanted a hot ass song to show me that Ciara is here to slay the day, and all she gives us is Go girl part 2 with better vocals and a less dynamic beat. The lyrics even have the same corniness to it, I mean where is the creativity? She should have got Ester dean if she wanted a tounge in cheek sex song. Look at Rude Boy, now THAT is a catchy and sexy song.
@CorbinSparks stop lying kid! You know you keep pressing play on the link. Its cool, you aint fooling anybody! Make sure you cop the single next week on Itunes buddy.
lol I wish I would put this boring song on repeat.
Damn poor cici, she might as well become Rihanna’s backup dancer.
How she go from on top of the world to a low budget mixtape flop.
*In tyra’s voice* I was rooting for you, we were ALL rooting for you. LEARN something from this!
the track is nice…it gets kinda repetative tho and its one mood through the whole track. Its has no high/stand out points. But nevertheless I like it, I am happy.
I love it!. I think her singles are just gonna get better and better. You can tell it’s just the beginning. @ Corbin give her her a break this is her first single..wait till the third then talk shit. Lets not forget Rihanna didn’t have a HUGE hit until her 4th single!! Her first was a horrible choice of single but she got Rude Boy and hit it out the park. So just be mindful of that.
This beat sorta sounds like Missez ‘Love Hangover’; the only thing that sounds good about this song is the chorus because it’s catchy. Ciara epically fails in the vocal department, and always will. Sorry!
Ummm Rihanna’s first single was firmly planted in the top 10 and caused people to respect her as an artist and a vocalist. Ride will flop into the pits of hell and drag her album along with it. And MEME i tried to give poor Cici a chance, but she is such a freakin failure.
I can only take so many crappy singles before I toss her in the gutter, and this one is breaking the camels back.
I dare say Keri freackin Hilson will have more success than poor Cici.
Maybe she should back up dance for her instead smh.
You guys don’t get it! it’s a beautiful song that is bring her back to the old days and how she used to be and hot and flow. let the song flow and grow on you. her album art work is basic. her photo shoot was like simple and basic and she looks pretty so that is how the song is because it is very simple and very basic and very ciara. let it grow and why you all hating?
the song is hot and so is the photograph and cici too and this is what she need to do a while a ago and finally doing it.
Damn poor girl..she truly is talented. Too bad it looks like another flop fer her. She nees to back to Jazze pha. They make magic together and their chemistry is amazing.
uhhh ok? i really wish she would work with danja, polo, hit boy, timbo, or brian kennedy, her voice is mad lite and sooo great for artisticly over produced tracks i need her to have good song writers as well idk cici im on the fence i love you but have not loved your work for 3 albums now you could be sooooo dope with the right A&R the music industry is not what it use to be ciara is to dope for this shit!!!!!
It’s a grower! Sounds a bit 90′s 2 me….I just hope she brings some fire wit dis album, but this track ain’t bad
HATERS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO VIEW AND POST LOL….GO HEAD CICI!!!!!
