Ciara is garnering ample Urban radio play with new single ‘I Bet’. So what better time than the present to unleash its accompanying video.

Set to arrive any day now, the clip  (which is the first to be lifted from the star’s sixth album, ‘Jackie’) was shot in New York last month. Building buzz for its debut, Super Ci posted snaps of herself on set today.

Check ’em out above (with designer Italo Zucchelli) and below…

    I love Ciara

    • Faf March 3, 2015

      So pretty

    • Lana Del Fan *I Can Hear The Sirens* March 3, 2015

      Wendy said it best. Just retire and become a model. She’s beautiful but music just isn’t working (not shade)

  2. Prismatic March 3, 2015

    Too little too late Cici. You should have brought out the video the moment you released I Bet.

    • Faf March 3, 2015

      No …body party video came out three months after the single the purpose is about 100,000 people gain interest initially .. the video makes another 400,000 people purchase it to bringing it to at least gold

  3. Eris March 3, 2015

    I BET this washed up T***** is screwing that bloke for some pay check, why make a video for a song that Debuted and prowled at 98 and then fell out the following week, it would only re enter and peak at 86….not worth it girl u ain’t Beyonce

    • FutureCIARA March 3, 2015

      Beside the fact that its missing on the Billboard Charts, Its is doing VERY well on Radio, and its getting spinned. So that matters too, Not everything is all about the charts 100%.

      • Eris March 3, 2015

        How convenient, of course when it comes to someone u actually care about u would always come up with one excuse or another, I Bet has been certified Stale Milk han and u will deal….

  4. Eris March 3, 2015

    For someone who actually used to be a man Ciara is actually pretty honestly, I mean she’s prettier than Rihanna yet Ri is more relevant how does that happen?

    • #JACKIE March 3, 2015

      Your mom is still a f****** man b****

      • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

        LOL. Drag that bum!

      • Eris March 3, 2015

        stay Riding Cedric’s Huge black D*** B****

  5. Choupette March 3, 2015

    I genuinely believe Ciara stepped on someone’s toes in the music industry. Someone powerful, someone who yields a lot of influence. It’s just mind baffling someone as talented as her can flop like this. I mean her music is good, she’s pretty, got a nice modelsque body (and she wears designer clothes well) + she can dance. She should be up there with the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj etc.

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      Damn, I never thought of that. Smh.

      • Linda March 3, 2015

        @Choupette I agree. Ciara needs to fire who ever manages her. Get Taylor Swift’s for example. Get someone who can turn her public profile around. She should have performed at the Grammy’s and the Brit Awards heck even the Oscars. Get her on major TV shows from US, UK, France etc. I agree with the other commenters, a club banger should have been her lead single and immediately service it with a killer music video showing insane choreography skills which I know she possesses. And finally bring back those dreadlocks she rocked last year. Heck even make a rumour linking her to a high profile single guy.

  6. #JACKIE March 3, 2015

    NATURAL BEAUTY

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      Yes
      🙂

    • Eris March 3, 2015

      Yes Ciara is indeed beautiful but a Man is a Man regardless of the s** change, she should have stayed a man

      • iLoveMusic March 3, 2015

        I didn’t know a man could give birth… you childish for even bringing up that old, stupid a** rumor!

        #iBet #Jackie #2015

  7. Lake Erie March 3, 2015

    Damm my girl CiCi got MAD haters on here. Anyways, I’m ready!!! Can’t wait for her album! I hope she tours this time cuz I’m pumped got that too! PROMO!!! Let’s go!!! #Csquad!

    • #JACKIE March 3, 2015

      Honey they stay maddd on here!! So intimidated 🙂

      • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

        Yes! But too quick to comment on her s***!

  8. Candy La Bear March 3, 2015

    Honey give us overdose/body party 2.0. I Bet should have never been a lead single for a flop like her(you ain’t Beyoncé/Rihanna). A club banger would have been perfect to get the GP on her again. To make matters worse, she abandoned the song(gurlll you ain’t Bey who can slay sans promo), no magazine/TV/radio interviews. It’s too late to save this song. Her era is already looking messy.

    • #JACKIE March 3, 2015

      Ok LA Reid! Sit down peasant Ci got this!!

    • Candy La Bear March 3, 2015

      @Jackie how? What buzz is there for Ciara? Slaying on urban radio ain’t enough. I Bet is out of the Hot 100. There’s no major promo campaign rolled out for her. And FYI I’m not hating. Just pointing out the flaws and mess that is the #Jackie era.

      • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

        But how could you say any of that s*** and her era just started?!? CiCi is a different artist. Anyone that has followed her knows how far she’s come from basic instinct til now. You sound like a hater saying stuff like that.

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      Making #Ibet a lead single is debatable because for one it’s a personal ass song, about information that all you f**** wanted to know about. From what I hear and “Ci” it’s all on that radio. Two, CiCi is a mutha fuckan VET in the game. So she ain’t gota and wouldn’t wanna be no Damn BEY or a Rhi. CiCi is CiCi. Sure she could of came out with a video sooner but the joint is still buzzing so sit yo wannabe non-knowing, music critic ass down.

      • Linda March 3, 2015

        @lake erie behind the steam that’s coming from your keyboard, you know I’m right. A decade into her career yet she’s beneath Bey/Rih in everything. Ya’ll be crying foul when Ciara flops yet again. We both know Ciara should be up there. From 2004 to 2007, she was promising. Ask yourself what happened from 2008 up until now. If talentless girls can slay, why can’t someone as talented as her do the same.

    • iLoveMusic March 3, 2015

      Umm, her song “Ride” from the “Basic Instinct” album peaked at #3 with absolutely no promo… They even banned the video. & It’s never to late for new Ciara music. You just mad cause you have to wait on it. I’m anxious for this album too, but no need to drag her.

    • Al March 3, 2015

      Ciara was huge here in the UK she’s had zero promo since joining Epic. Her last single charted was the JT was that 09/10?! I love me some Ciara but not liked anything since Fantasy Ride even tho I’m Out was a tune. Get her back with Jazzy and Missy

  10. Cough Cough March 3, 2015

    Cici is so perrrrty! With that being said I’m ready for her to move on. I know she wanted to release this song to get at Future but this song isn’t “the jam” like I’m used to Cici providing. I know her album will be good though cause all her albums are decent I just need her to give us something more.

  11. Barb-wire March 3, 2015

    Is she still playing with that flop of a song? Nicki better save this gurl asap.

  12. Al March 3, 2015

    I wish she would team back up with Jazzy Pha I’d love some more of Ciara 04/05
    Anyway good luck Cbola

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      Yes!!! I think her and Jazzy pha should definitely link up again! They definitely had a sound. Like no other.

  13. kingbeybitch March 3, 2015

    Girl Bye! People aren’t checking for that song anymore she should’ve promoted the damn song. The video should’ve been released ages ago

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      You here checking for it. 😉

  14. Eris March 3, 2015

    I BET Ciara sabotages her own success on purpose, I mean she’s beautiful, she can dance, she used to be a man, her first two albums were certified 2x platinum, she’s light skinned, so why the f*** can’t she be the third member in this Beyonce/Rihanna music industry She would have been perfect, instead Nicky is the 3rd although Nicki is a rapper but oh well, Ciara girl wake up its not too late Revamp ur entire output and claim ur place (FYI u should have kept ur d*** girl )…

  15. Mark 111 March 3, 2015

    Stop raking your brains about why Flopara ain’t popping. Simply think of her as this generations answer to Cyndi Lauper/Paula Abdul. Not everyone will be a superstar. The GP simply ain’t here for Manara

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      Ctfu!!! I can count on you to keep it 100%. I’m not going to lie. You are pretty much right and Paula is iconic! I kinda said that in recent response to the two dummies said on here. Everyone wants her to be big but she’s Not Rih or Bey.

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      Btw, my girl is not named flopara lol.

    • Mark111 March 3, 2015

      Lol, you don’t even type like me. But that’s cool. #MyImpact #MyFollowing

  16. Lake Erie March 3, 2015

    Since people wanna compare my girl to other artist on here I’m gonna go ahead and do a comparison this time. First off, Rihanna come out with that joint with Ye, and Paul but nobody really says s*** anymore about it “ONLY” because it charted? Lol. I like that song btw but on some real s***. The song was random as hell. But CiCi comes out with a personal, cold as beat song about relevancy topics in her life and no one really agrees she should of came out with it? Good or bad, yall still talking about it and she knows it. Why not keep promoting it. I see nothing but growth. At the end of the day, it’s a stan thing. Yal gone root for who yal want. obviously she’s still out here and making music so she must be doing something right. Sabotage? Ha! That sounds stupid.

  17. The Great Lacefronce. March 3, 2015

    Too late, that flop song is done

    Maybe with video streams it can break back into the 90s on the hot 100

    Poor Cedric , her personal and musical lives are both flops

  18. Keith March 3, 2015

    i agree with the posters who ponder “what happened” in Ciara’s career trajectory. She is, relatively speaking, more talented than Rhianna and has all the individual tools of the “pop star” arsenal but never quite made it to that next level when the others did. Smells like some behind the scenes industry s***…we will see what happens this time. She can still revive the single with a strong video and promo campaign, though. MOST IMPORTANTLY, though, its interesting how you guys DISS URBAN SUCCESS like its not worthy of recognition….

    • The Bajan Princess March 3, 2015

      She can dance better but she cannot sing better than Rihanna. Her tone is very sweet but her vocal control (or lack thereof) is absolutely atrocious. After all these years, she still can’t get it together. Ciara is too far gone now, like Ashanti but unlike Ashanti Ciara can still get a moderate hit every few years.

    • rihboy March 3, 2015

      If she had all that in her arsenal she would be ahead of rihanna. Which is where you fail to realize that she cannot see rihanna vocally. On the voice or any show thereof. She can definitely dance better than Rihanna. Unfortunately dancing doesn’t sell records. so sit.

  19. Lake Erie March 3, 2015

    @Candy Bear and @Linda. Lol. I disagree, in 08 is the year that people really started comparing ciara to other singers especially Beyonce. When you compare artist, you’re going to get a tug of war battle. Hence Ja and 50cent, 50cent and Kanye, hell even little kim and nicki. Also, finding her self in her music. Going from evolution to fantasy ride didn’t sit well with A LOT of people including myself and I love ciara. Then you and Basic instinct which was a good ass LP in my opinion but “HER TEAM” had to press pause on that which was a big mistake. I think she should of keep going with that one. Her last album, was exceptionally well. Her joints too. People say all the time she could be bigger etc but ain’t nobody backing her. She even somewhat said that her self. Only people I see is the urban base fans “me” and you know they was there in the beginning. Then you gotta think. Rihanna has who backing her? “Jay Z” Beyonce has what? I’m not even about to give you her bio because we already know that’s a long as story. And then my baby Ci, who did she have? Lol. Nobody. My girl came out dolo. Lol. Yea, she fell off but she still very much just as relevant as Rih and Bey. She got this. I like I bet. Something for those front dudes out here. She know what she doing.

  20. The Bajan Princess March 3, 2015

    Even though I can’t stand 98% of her stupid, delusional ass stans, I like Ciara. Her last album was pretty good but the GP just doesn’t care about her anymore. They have moved on to other artists. I think her career ended after that n*** Vibe cover that she lied about…then Rihanna put the final nail in the coffin. #SorryNotSorry

  21. Mark111 March 3, 2015

    She just went through a break up, that’s ok she got her cakes up. Oops, same bs, different rapper.

    • Eris March 3, 2015

      she post some pictures looking s***, now this n**** wanna text her,…he gonna regret the day he left her…. lol

  22. TheElusiveLamb March 3, 2015

    Bc Lake Erie is a Cici stan, I will bite my tongue and just say she looks beautiful. I wish her well.

    • Lake Erie March 3, 2015

      LOL!!! That’s why i f**** with YOU! lol! But you can tell me though. I honestly think Ciara is talented. I don’t know why a lot of people could care less about her? smh. I’m rooting for her though. #Csquad

  23. topplewear3938 Sam Smith and Drake Fan March 3, 2015

    She is such a sweetheart and so beautiful! Can’t wait for the video. Although songs about cheating are so depressing to me

  24. Mark111 March 3, 2015

    We need a resolution. Can she come up with her own look?

  25. rihboy March 3, 2015

    Her plan is to get people to purchase the song and possibly zoom up the charts. It’s an accolade she has been dying for. This video better be more than a sorry 3.0. I haven’t heard this song on the radio at all. It’s been available on iTunes and its on YouTube. Lord knows how many sights already have it for free download I don’t see it garnering much more buzz. most I see is the video being okay for two weeks until someone else in fourth quarter drops a single or video to block her waiting ass.

    • (Rihyonce) March 3, 2015

      Well lets hope it takes off.. The song is actually good.

  26. Uknowdakid March 3, 2015

    Ciara really should of took that roc nation gig when it was offered to Her in 2009. Her last lp were killed off too quick it’s like after release of the album everything just stops

  27. (Rihyonce) March 3, 2015

    She looks nice !!

  28. Molly March 3, 2015

    She looks great can’t wait for the video.

  29. Rated R March 3, 2015

    Why is she taking so long ? Drop
    The video already and move to the Next Single, preferably an uptempo like Get Up or Goodies .

  30. FutureCIARA March 3, 2015

    The video will slay! And you all will be here for it and contribute to its views/streams…

    • Eris March 3, 2015

      I bet has been certified Stale milk ……deal (Beyonce is Queen and u will deal )

  31. Brian310 March 3, 2015

    She needs a creative director to help her get an idea of how to put together an era visually/style wise, I think that is what she lacks at the most…I still feel like she nor her team use her strengths to push her(uptempo club bangers, choreography, and s*** songs) Her strongest era was goodies due to the singles being uptempo and her being able to perform and show people her skills but since then it seems like they are trying to push the mid tempo love songs and it isn’t resonating with the GP.

  32. Uknowdakid March 3, 2015

    I’m pretty sure this song will be a slow burn not suppose to be the track that sends her to number one or anything. To me this song makes her relatable which Ciara has lacked for years it’s a personal record. I’m pretty sure that the next song will be a uptempo. We really have not had a fully supported uptempo in years

  33. CherylSoldierr March 3, 2015

    Death

  34. LB March 3, 2015

    She looks pretty, that’s all I got. At least I tried

  35. Eris March 3, 2015

    what a Handsome young Man with tits

  36. (Rihyonce) March 3, 2015

    Ciara is talented its just that you can’t expect your management team to help you shine you got to do it on your own…Some of yall have to understand that !!!Example they can promote Taylor Swift , Beyonce and Rihanna all they want at the end of the day they popped off on their own..

  37. Yeah I said it/ Queen Bey March 3, 2015

    I’m not hating at all, but Ciara just doesn’t have that it factor anymore, somethings off.

  38. Sherry March 3, 2015

    So many lame excuses when it comes to Ciara! Her last album was promoted HEAVILY, she had a hit single, a beef with Rihanna, a performance at the BET awards (and video premiere), and she still flopped. I have run out of suggestions for Ciara. She should just make music because she loves it and not for sales because people obviously don’t care anymore.

  39. StarXavi March 4, 2015

    Ive never heard it on the radio where i live
