Ciara‘s hotly anticipated new single ‘Ride’ premièred literally a few moments ago. The Ludacris-assisted cut was produced by hitmakers The-Dream & Tricky Stewart and serves as the first official offering from the singer’s fourth studio album.
After the not-so-great sales of Ms. Harris’ last effort ‘Fantasy Ride’, the question on the lips of many is whether ‘Ride’ packs enough punch to redeem her in the eyes of the masses. Thankfully for the 24 year old, the answer is a loud and resounding ‘YES!’
The gritty mid-tempo reunites Ciara with the edgy sound which captivated many on her earlier material, yet does so while implementing a fresh twist. Hands down, one of her best releases in a long while. Welcome back CiCi!

OMG I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG! Ciara Killed this!
str8 heat. cici is trynna make 2010 her year! i can dig it. now all i need is the video. p/s-tricky and cici is a dream team
THIS WAS JUST WACK…..CIARA GO BACK TO THE LAB AND MAKE SOME BETTER S***…
Ci where have you been! I can’t believe she came back to the hood, I LOVE IT!
This is nice…i wont say Chart topping but i like it….it cool!!!! but i don’t think she will ever be back to where she was…she has lost that IT factor…sorry CiCi Fans…the truth hurts…NOW when Brandy reach back it will be ON n POPIN
I love it. It took me back to summer 2005 riding around bumping Oh lol.
It’s a banger for sure!
This aint toppin nobody’s chart!!! it was really boring
Summer anthem! Can’t wait to see what she did on the video.
I’m looking forward to watching her perform again.
We’re missing the real entertainers on the scene!1
listening to the clip I like but now that i have heard the full song i will pass but she better slay in the video
LOVE IT! THANK GOD!!!!
OMG!! Love soooooo hot! Song is a HIT! Even thought it’s so urban based can’t wait for her mainstream dance singles too the WORLD will know Ciara is back by then. Love her game plan dominating all areas of music from WW, Pop, to underground urban. ALL OVER!
not good enough for 1st single
ummm i dont get the hype about the song esp as a first single – the beats ok and the dlivery is ok – i still think high price wouldve slayed or like a surgeon and songs like that – i hope she takes it back to her goodies days! thats the ciara i wanna c before she because this s** goddess or whatever
Rihanna would done this allooooooooot better!
PURE SHYTE!!!!!
She sounds like Chris Brown smells! YUCK!!!
I don’t know if this song is strong enough to help drive her right now. It’s not bad at all, but its a big long and drawn out with any climax.
Maybe, the video will help people love the song.
IM THE REAL HIHIHI M***********
THE SONG IS KINDA HOT BUT PLES DONT TEL ME TAT THESE VOCAL ARE BTTA THAN RIHAQNNA
JUST WHISPERS
RIHANNA 2010
I like it, it’s nice and glad to hear the dream producing a song that actually sounds different from the rest of the beats he puts out. Again though, not sure how this will fair as a first single… Was it just me or did ciarra sound kinda like christina milian on the track, maybe just because they’ve both got the same kind of soft singing style. Just sayin’!
weak ass song, weak vocals……maybe 24 year old model ciara should learn to sing before attempting such challenging vocals for her 0.1 octave range
CLASSIC! I love it!
Yeah, i’m a hater. This non singing b**** gets to make album after album whilst real singer who dont want to sell there ass are struggling! Yeah i’m a hater. Her biggest rival Rihanna isnt much better. These chicks will sell p**** till dawn to get a hit and the people lap it up. I wouldn’t mind if the songs were good but its disposable trash that wont be remembered in a few years. Wheres all the classic music/artists gone? Who’s going to want to sample this s***/these beats in years to come? This is a view but since 2009 view = hater. so i guess im a hater.
I would never buy this s***! id download it for free knowing it was going into my recycling basket a month down the line
love it and if rihanna sing get our ears will Blow up and not in a good way
The song’s alright, she’s gonna have to do a lot of promotion and kill the video to make people take note.
I think she’s playing it safe with this one and it lacks originality. High price and like a surgeon should have been released last year if she wanted to come in with this one.
Lovin CICI still!!
it’s ok Sam when are you going to post the song kelly rowland just did everywhere we go as the world cup anthem with other african artists..that song is fire!!!
on a side note i wish Ciara all th best she is a great entertainer.
Song is cool…Not a total hit…Not sure if Ciara will ever gain the success that she aimed for when she first started..She’s had two many past directional slip ups, and i don’t think people really care anymore…she should have stayed in her lane, did the southern, crunk, urban thing, then slowly crossed over…she did it too quickly, lost those original fans, and couldn’t gain enough crossover fans…There’s such a lack of artist development these days..everyone just wants to put out album after album, meanwhile artist who have been in the industry for !0 yrs have released only 4 or 5 albums, while these new kids have already reached that and are still releasing year after year…smh..
This song and Rockstar 101 are going to be my anthems this summer. Track is hot, Ci Ci!
IM SO TIRED OF HIHIHIH AND HIS OR HER LITTLE SOLDIERS!!!! YOUR COMMENTS R JST SO EXPIRED ALL U DO IS HATE HATE HATE..IS THAT WHAT STANDS FO THAT NAME YOU GOT? >>HATE I HATE I HATE I HATE I HATE.. MAKES SENSE HUH..?
CHILD PLEASE..!
ANYWAYS I LOVE THIS SONG IT DEF DESERVES A TOP SPOT ON THE RNB CHARTS I DON KNOW BOUT THE HOT 200, BUT IT CAN DO WELL..NOT REALLY A PROPER FIRST SINGLE BUT WE’LL SEE WITH THE VIDEO AND TIME..! 🙂
very good
Sam why you gotta lie? You got the post late, it’s okay lol… It had been out for hours before you got it lol…
i like it but its no goodies or promise
i love it not a smash hit tho but im glad shes back and im pretty sure theres some bangers on the album this is only the beginning
I really like this song!i’m not disappointed at all!
@STONEY BRI
B**** PLES DIDNZT I SAY ITS KINDA HOT
F*** U HO
not feeling this at all. If Ciara doesnt bring it with the 2nd single, shes done:\
I’M TIRED OF PEOPLE HATING ON CIARA AND I’M TIRED OF PEOPLE IMPERSONATING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok HATING B******; CIARA IS BACK, THE SONG IS HOTT; She’s back to her roots; this is a sample of what she has to offer to us ¬___¬ HATERS FALL BACK
LET THE VIDEO JUST COME NOW 🙂
Top 20 HIT AT LEAST!

YASSS Ci! This song iz hawt! The Lyrics r fire! I love how she goin’ back 2 her roots, givin us a taste of what’s 2 come! I’m ready 4 the video!!!
@Dev, F**, SIT! Ur dumb ass knows nothin’ about Ciara or the music business. U just another hoodrat sittin’ on yo stoop eatin’ chicken, braidin’ heffers hair 4 that Past Due rent money. Don’t worry about Ciara b****. Just keep suckin’ & f*****’ ya way 2 the front of the welfare line.
@the rest of the idiots who sayin’ it won’t chart, y’all psychics? Y’all can see the future? LMFAO y’all can’t even see skidmarks in ya salvation army drawers but u trynna see in2 the future? Y’all poverty stricken beasts betta predict when ya next meal gon’ b b4 u try 2 predict the future, mutts.
This is going to be my jam on the radio.
@MovieMan, I c ya nappy pube headed ass stay replyin’ 2 Ci topics again? U better stay bothered!!! *claps*
hot track. can’t wait for the video. I luv how ppls saying she back when she never went anywhere. The way I see it, Ms. CiCi has been consistent in the work she puts out. Hopefully consumers won’t overlook this one.
Hook has a great melody. This should fare well. Welcome back CC.
this song sounds like album filler not a single….too boring…it just doesnt cut it….ciara needs to get back in the lab and make some good s*** or just sit ur ass down….cause the b**** aint worth listening to…she bring nothing to the table….she great choreographer with weak ass vocals..nothing more nothing less…and ciara fans need to stop kissing on ciara`s p****…she aint all that.
Awful, this is just pathetic…more pole grinding boring over produced garbage!
lmao, this sucks, it wont even reach top 100, try again next time C-Error
b**** whispers on songs because she is a man and dont want everyone to notice (when we already noticed that)
Wack ass Spring/Summer tune if I’ve ever heard one (and I have). Even her stans are saying this s*** won’t crack the Hit 100, lol.
Samantha likes to suck C-error c***
Every living person on earth thinks that they’re a record executive….you haters should stick to your day jobs……which is probably UNEMPLOYMENT!
I love the song, and I really hope the video delivers! I don’t care if this song is a smash runaway hit…because I don’t let other peoples opinions influence my music choices unlike SOME of you.
Ok, Ok, CiCi I see you 😉 do ur thing girl! Love it
Girl byeeee
I’m convinced the Rihanna stans were anticipating this more than the Ciara stans were. I say that because the usernames that are bashing Ciara are the ones I see going crazy over Rihanna.*rolls eyes*
Anyways, this song is straight fire! Cici aian’t playing this time around. Love it…
This song will be a hit.
Ciara isn’t a singer, she’s an entertainer. We all know that, it is what it is. Young, Crunk, Janet.
That stuff from fantasy ride just wasn’t good, but this is.
I applaud Ciara for going back to what made her a star in the first place and NOT trying to do electro pop or rockish-pop or anything else but her own style.
CIARA CIARA CIARA girl this is not first single material! there are so many female coming out this year that this ish aint gonna cut it! you gotta go harder like where is the crunk ciara? where is she? noone else was/is doing that, man is about to be summer time i want to some dancing music aint nobody wants to be listening to this mess 🙁 go back to the lab and try again
As a fan of Rihanna Cici and Bey why does everybody feel that they have to hate one or the other when clearly u can get get something from each. I love Rihanna’s albums but not so much her live shows. Sometimes good sometimes bad. I love beyonce’s live performance’s, but not so much her videos. I love ciara’s videos. Can we please stop putting so much negativity out about these young women. PLEASE Stop. and the sad part is it mostly women. Like I said before I am not a fan of Keys, but that does not make her a b****, or give me the right to say she worships the devil or is selling her p**** because I don’t like her music. that would make me really stupid.
TUNEEEEEE 😀

COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on another HOT video (like always) girl ….. GET IT BOO!!!
Something’s missing….
Boring !
the song is alright…cici sounds good on the track but its too much of a compromise between her pop sound she found on ‘fantasy ride’ and her roots with goodies….
#sidenote…
i dont understand the comparison between rihanna and ciara or why ppl feel the need to compare the two….they are completely different artist…ppl make it sound like no two artist can’t be successful at the same time…
you don’t have to tear sumbody else down to promote who u like…jus buy their music
#done lol

@niki
Co-sign
forgettable, i dont see radio playing this ishh, even here in Atlanta, its an album filler. she needs another song like “Get Up” this song is blah
People will do anything to get a “@” sign by their. Just waiting on people to respond to their ignorance. What in hell does Rihanna have to do with this post? And her stans are quick to call people haters when folks aren’t sniffing behind her in her post.
@Niki
Co-sign 100%
I happen to like Beyonce, Rihanna, and Ciara.
by their *name*
CIARA is 1ne of A Kind!!!! Songs KOOL!!!
BeS JUS KEEP DOIN’ YO Thang CICI!!!
LOL to em’ HATAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CIARA is a BAD BI###!!!!
U should go back to yo earlier hits, n you’ll make it big again!!!
Jus keep yo head uppp
*breathes* I love the song!
I think it’s a really good idea that they released this song first. It’s for the fans that missed her tough urban tracks last era. So no, it probably wont be #1 on the HOT 100, but it’s definitely a winner !
Agrees wit ‘C550J’; exactly what I was thinkin “Like A Surgeon” was a whole LOT better than this tune! IT sounded of more quality and was a true Ciara song. This doesn’t really catch-ON for me. But we already know radio is gon’ play it out. I’ll listen to it no-doubt but it’s not the “best” song for her. Only thing is she hasn’t really had any BAD songs so this might be!!! I see where the concept of it is going though 🙂
i see you cici. Im liking what I see.
Good, not AMAZING. But i think with some hot remixes (which should be made official) this could go well.
*fingers crossed*
i love it!!!
Its a cool song just like most of us say I dont see a #1 song out of this but it is Ciara’s sound and it is good for her fans so more power to her. I know she gone kill the video Ciara always does.
its cool for now
i feel like if i keep listenin to it i will start likin it more n more
hopefully the vid will be good
I LOVE CIARA!!!
But I was heartbroken by this new song. it’s catchy, but definitely NOT a first single. It’s so forgettable just like “Never Ever’. I don’t know why she didn’t learn from her past mistake. While Fantasy Ride had a few god songs, it was not cohesive. I hope she makes up for it with a decent video though. I wish her the best.
I havent really been checking for Ciara since Evolution…but this song, I LOVE IT!! Had to put it on my ipod as soon as I heard it, i’ll also support the song and buy it too cuz i really love it…wayyyyy better than that Bank song lol.
They love the way I riiiiiiiiiiddddeeee it
the song is BOMB!…don’t mind the hypocritical haters
Motherfucking Ciara!!! I love youher, but this isn’t first single material! If “Never Ever” wasn’t a hit, why would this song be any better?! I know she wanted to make another “Promise,” but this isn’t the type of music that gets played these days. I’m so disappointed! Release a f****** up tempo crunk dance song already! Come on baby girl, I’m pulling for you! Don’t let me fucken down!
this isn’t going to be a hit in any way shape or form.. this crap isn’t working for Janet either…..
CLASSIC!!!
CIARA IS BACK!
dis bang /yall complain artist should keep it 100 n be real but when they do yall say they aint relevant and doin the same s***/aint no satisfying bandwagon people dat listen to musik. yall stupid n dont no s***. no go play yalls drake records and commit s****** cause yall dont no s*** bout muzik
Lol
