As Ciara continues to work on her fourth studio album (due May / June), a new cut from the record’s recording sessions has surfaced in the form of ‘I’m Up In The Bank’. Written and produced by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, the song sees the 24 year old hit back at the critics, who have – in truth – been rather merciless towards her since her last LP ‘Fantasy Ride’ failed to ignite the charts in the way she and her label had hoped.
Is it any good, though?
Well the track does a great job of re-engaging Ms. Harris with her core Urban audience and exudes much in the way of swagger. However, I’m gonna need something with a bit more ‘umph’ to heighten my anticipation levels for her new record – which are already quite high, considering the fact I really enjoyed ‘Fantasy Ride’.
WTF??? Kinda crap is that can we say FLOP!
It doesn’t sound finished or mixed. I don’t think it’s going on the album but I love her attitude on it and the lyrics. She’s really never spoken out after almost 6 years in the game of being bashed since the jump with the name calling and it’s good that she finally stands up for herself.
not a hit but not a Miss either!!! its good tho
@blasian
ur ugly a** hate on anyone except beyakiz s*** a**… Marques Houston was piping that b**** down nd the liar said jay-z was her first.. go worry about that thief then judge other artists..
nasty b****
I’ve never really liked Ciara. She’s always been a 2nd rate Janet Jackson. But I’ve never been bothered by her. I’m all for people making as much money as they can. However, this song is really inappropriate. Could someone tell her we’re in a severe recession. Thanks.
DEAD@SAM LYING AGAIN “(due May / June),” AS IF U KNEW ANYTHING LOSA
LIKE KELLY NEWS WHAT A JOKE
THE SONG IS MA HOT S*** RIGHT NOW
CISARA GO HARD THIS TIME BUT STILL
THESE VOCALS PROVE RIHANNA ONCE AGAIN IS BETTER THAN SOMEONE WHOS IS OO TALENTED
SRY BUT THIS WAS JUST SOME BREATHING SINGING REALL WHISPERING
WHATEVERA GO CICICICICICICICICICI
sunshineRD

Rihyodel using lil sick girls for her image what sad case I’m glad her mother spoke out

SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT OUT THAT B******* ASS ALBUM “FANTASY RIDE” WE(CRITICS,FANS) WOULDN’T BE TALKING ABOUT HER….AND IF THE ALBUM SOUNDS ANYTHING LIKE THIS SONG SHE GONNA FLOP AGAIN!!
ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE IF SHE DOES THE R&B SOUND FOR THIS ALBUM I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO THE STORE TO BUY THE ALBUM…I’VE ALWAYS LIKED HER R&B SIDE..DON’T CROSS OVER CI CI, ONLY BEY CAN DO THAT…

How do you believe a link that just lists pictures and tells stupid stories. Anyone could make a webpage, list people’s pictures and then make up silly things like “She was waiting on the couch for SO LONG and he didn’t even notice.” Perhaps it’s true but where did this story come from? It’s just presented like it was made up.
damn!!!!!!!!!!!

yall can return to regularly scheduled program…
Rated R #18 on itunes
Rude boy #4 on itunes

#thatrihannareignwontstartup
lmaoooo
i cant the Richifer went back to sucking its mommas puss lmao
or it mght be bed time
Y do ppl always try to make people hate other artists?
If you dnt like beyonce, think shes a thief, a s***, etc. Can u just sit in a corner and keep it to urself? You are just wasting your time to try and chsnge peoples minds… No1 is telling you to buy beyonces albums or singles so save ur money and get a hobby or something (sunshinerd)…. Let the people enjoy beyonces music… Aint no1 forcibg you to talk about her…? Beyonce dnt even know u exist… Ur nt even on her radar… I suggest u stop making urself look like a fool, and refrain from making comments that no1 really cares about…. This is a CIARA song….!
LMAO @Sunshinerd. You actually believe that. Poor deluded troll. You mad that your little fantasy of humping Beyonce will never happen? If Marcus Houston “did it”, you should have no problem. Hell, even I hit that..LOLOLOL
Back to Super C Section…I mean Ciara. I agree with Kirk, she should really focus on developing her R&B sound, it suits her voice nicely.
WHat the HELL IS THIS!!!! SHe is talking the whole song, proof she can’t sing for s***!
I couldnt even go past 1min in that song..CiCi instead of walking aroung LA with them hoedasians, maybe u should focus on ur singing career booboo. cause its not going well.
I’m happy that Givenchi hired u to represent them an all that, but booboo u too talented to be putting them crappy songs out.
Umm… I like the song, would like to hear the finished version. Nice vocals, cool hooks, fierce attitude. Best I have heard from Ci-Ci in a minute….
Wow @ these comments. Craziness is afoot! Lol.
That Ciara song sounds super unfinished. I don’t like this new fad where singers are now ‘going hard at “people”‘ and rapping/talking over tracks. It’s wack. Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara and Chris Brown have all done that recently, and that’s like Ke$ha’s entire sound.
They are all singers…stop trying so hard to be cutting edge/trendy and SING. If they want to do something different, how about something other than talking over a track.
Like Ciara’s dance skills, and her willingness to admit she’s not the best singer.
its okay def. not the best but not bad either
okay i take it back ive been listening to this for like the past 5 mins a couple times its pretty hot the beat is smooth and her voice fits right in not first single material but its dope get em CiCi
i don’t think so cici lol
my goodness i love Rihanna but i can’t stand her worshipers.
GROW UP AND GET HELP! so damn obsessed, this post has NOTHING TO DO WITH RIRI
go hug a tree, i dunno get a man, have s** GET A LIFE yall ride strangers cl!t too damn hard.
Anyway, i think the song is hot hell yea Ciara f*** the haters
btw my comment was directed to that Sunshine person smh
get your own s** life and you wouldn’t be so worried about Beyonce’s
i don’t understand how someone can have so much hatred towards someone they don’t even know???? all that name calling, really?!?
This song may go “hard” on the street, but this song will not sell with the mainstream audience. I can’t wait for Ciara’s CD, but this won’t cut it. She needs to come back harder!
Finally the ciara is coming back to her roots. The song is doing her jsutice and her album is getting anticipated from her fans and people who even hate her. Ciara lets do it baby.
http://citysociety.b*******.com/
New Usher, Mr. Hudson, and Big Sean
@sunshinerd sit your floppity flop riyodel stanning ass down! why is beyonce all up in ya mouth? I know she stay on your mind.
I like what I hear. Good job, Cici!
so i was browsing and listening and forgot i was listening dag
CIARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! loves my girl!
the song is OK, i like it. But ppl shouldn’t get too excited because chances are it WONT be on the album. her label is SERIOUS about the leaks this time around. they won’t let any leak on the album!
Good see that she has her fans, critics AND haters ON THEIR TOES for this album.
LOVE IT!!! something that doesnt feature nikki minaj for once
but.
idk if this is a good enough choice for lead single. especially if she’s trying to do numbers
Ciara just giving something to the haters to talk about lol
That last 30 seconds ….wooh!!! Lalalalalala ha ha
Loves it 🙂
@coolchick
Cosign on that. People get so caught up in celeb lives they forget to worry about their own damn man or money (if they have)
Sounds unfinished but has potential.
FIRE! ……….SHUT THEM UP CICI!
Ciara got that fire like ……(you know the rest) !!
I dont like this song. Also i dont like how she is boasting about how much she got etc.
I like the old ciara with her first album she had good songs back then.
Obviously this song is unfinished and this is not a show your vocals off type of song that’s probably why it hasn’t been formally released yet.
@ Sunshinerd; I don’t even believe beyonce slept with Naz where is the proof. Naz turned down a date with her because he couldn’t stand her breath. Like come on show me hard core facts not he said she said and speculation. Trying to slander the poor girl your acting like Beyonce personally did something to you. Grow up man.
Cici is back..love thi record…
why dont you post about beyonce being in court ONCE AGAIN? Last week she was acused by a bulgarian designer that she stole his ideas for her HOUSE OF DIARRHEA and this week a musician acused her of stealing ideas for her “Bootylicious” song, she said she created the word ROFL, WHY DONT YOU POST THE TRUTH ABOUT THE THIEF? DIVA MY ASS, TALENTED MY ASS, LEGEND MY ASS!!!
How is Beyonce relevant in this post? Damn people, let the girl live! All of these black females are doing what they love, fans/stans are the ones who create all the drama. Its not that serious! Get a fvcking life! Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce all the damn time and most of the time its haters trying to provoke sh!t!
trash
The track is good for what it’s worth. I think it was just something to get people talking. I highly doubt this is her first single.
WHY DONT YOU POST THE FACT THAT THE MOTHER OF JASMINA AMENA HAS THIS ON TWITTER? : “Apparently there are some negative blogs out there. For the record, Rihanna has been nothing but really nice !!! ”
Her account was hacked you fucktard, you wish Rihanna would be a mean person so you could watch her fall and laugh her ass off, well, not really dude, try another time.
Everyone can see that on “Oneforjasmina” twitter
OH, and where the f*** is the post about Beyonce being in court again for stealing songs? This time is Bootilycious, ROFL
SunshineRD really needs to calm down. It seems like a vessel is about to pop out of her head..
wow sounds like Goodies and Oh but bad…

This Lost ISNT Completely Accurate. Most Of It Is Rumors And Lies.
This Is An ACCURATE List Of People She Dated BEFORE Jay-Z…
Lyndell…
These songs in particular are about him. “Dangerously In Love”; The Follow Up To That AFTER They Broke Up Is “Me Myself & I”. That Song Is About Him Too. “Is She The Reason” From Destinys Fulfilled Album. “Second Nature” From Destinys Childs FIRST album is about him. (She even went so far to THANK HIM IN THE CREDITS FOR INSPIRING THE SONG AND DEDICATED IT TO HIM! So For Her To Say She NEVER Had Any Kind Of Relationship BEFORE Jay-Z is a COMPLETE lie! Rather it was committed, or she was just being a free prostitiute to this man, it was a relationship that affected her. She even said on Tyra Banks that she was affected by thios relationship and wrote music about it.
Nelly…
Nelly liked Beyonce a WHOLE LOT! His verse in the on the remix to “Girlfriend” by NSYNC is about her completely. He would send her gifts and try to court her. Im not sure how far he got, but he did pursue her heavily.
Mos Def…
That is TRUE! He has told people how he and Jay-Z were dating her at the same time. They were even seen at public places together. She dated him.
Marcus Houston…
She had a relationship with him, he even appeared in a couple of her videos, and called Solange his future sister in law. “Free” asked him on 106npark if he used to date beyonce, he said YES! He admitted it.
Jay-Z
You all know that story…
Thats all I can say for sure. But what I told you above is very true. TRUST ME!
CANT WAIT FOR HER ALBUM LOVE THE SONG!!!!
Not feelin it……………
wow this is fly!
I’m not really feeling it & to all the idiots saying this is gonna be a flop, UM, assholes, i don’t think i heard or saw the words “single”, so bump all that b*******.
a lil boring
c-error is a disgrace
who gave her a record deal???!!!…seriously
Call it swagger, but I call it b*******. I will not spend my hard earned cash on any artist that makes a half-assed song bragging about how rich they are. To think that millions around the world are poor and without food & this hoodrat b**** has the nerve to sing a song flaunting that she has money and that she spends it on useless s*** like bags.
IF THERE IS INDEED A HELL, it was made for self-centred, selfish people like her.
Wait for the mixed version cus it doesn’t sound finished.
funny how this is a ciara topic and everyone is talking bout rihanna and beyonce
I realy realy like it !
The chorus is addicting! As much as I’m anticipating her new project, I hope she can keep the material locked up somewhere for her sake because I think all the leaks from her last album really contributed to its poor performance on the charts. Regardless, I will always support Ciara cause she is on a constant grind and she deserves nothing but success.
BLASIN…AND ANYBODY ELSE..JUST SHUT THE F*** UP IF U DON’T LIKE CIARA….BOUNCE OFF HER SPOT AND HER PGS..LIKE NOBODY DOESNT WANT TO HEAR UR POINT OF VIEW..U PROVED UR POINT BONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GO TO ANOTHER WEBSITE THAT DOESN’T INCLUDE CIARA………….CIARA ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLTHE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THID IS DEFFFF HIT..NOT A MISS……THAT GOES FOR THE OTHER WHO DON’T AGREEE…..I DNT CARE ABUT BEYONCE..THIS WHOLE THING DOESN’T EVEN INVOLVE HER NIETHER RIHANNA….GET IT OUTTA YA’LL HEADS AND GO SUCK ASS & D***
@Sunshine Rd i never knew you hate Beyonce it doesnt so on atrl.net
is a beautiful girl
THIS IS NOT GONNA BE ON HER ALBUM. (ULTIMATECIARA.COM)
i feel like the beat should come in harder after the guitars in the beginning right after she says “YEAH I THOUGHT SO”…the bass and s*** would make this song dope as f***..CIARA I LOVE YOU and if you or anyone from your management is reading this..please use some the fans advice and make that bass/beat hardcore..im excited for you to take over 2010 ohh and vogue ughh you would kill it I LOVE YOU best wishes in 2010 IM WAITING !!!
