As Ciara’s ‘Ride’ continues its slow ascent up the Billboard charts – now at #79 on the Hot 100 and #55 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs listing – another track from the entertainer has surfaced. The song, entitled ‘I Run It’, features the singer using her lower register over the Tricky Stewart production. Give it a listen below:
It’s good to hear Ciara experimenting with her voice on this record in a similar fashion to what she did on her ‘Fantasy Ride’ LP. However, as is coming the norm with most songs produced by Stewart, the record sounds like it’s been done before. In fact, the recurring beat in the background is has a striking resemblance to J. Holiday’s ‘Bed’ and The-Dream’s ‘Put It Down’. Either way, ‘I Run It’ would make a solid album-filler.

This s*** is wack this t***** needs to stop trying to sing slow s*** …she can’t sing that s*** and we dont want it. Do a club banger or go home biatch!
I REALLY LIKE THE SONG
CHECK OUT MY NEW SITE http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
One word… NO. What’s up with all these slow and s*** songs? She need to work with other producers besides The- Dream. He’s making her music sound just like his. SMH. I used to be a fan of Ciara up until the Fantasy Ride era.
Btw,
TRENT do a post on how Christina Aguilera is FLOPPING hard with her new song its struggling at a mere #46! S*** is funny as hell.
OKAY MAYBE THAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH HER EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS OKAY NEVER GREAT OR AMAZING RIDE IS THE BEST VIDEO TO COME OUT THIS YEAR BUT THE SONG IS OKAY
Oh no! I hope the whole album doesn’t leak again. Ciara needs to put the clamp down. This song is on the album. Ciara said it was her favorite in her last Ustream.
LMAO @ ROB & im a ciara stan.
Yeh Cici does need to come with some (hate to say this) but ‘rude boy’ ‘umbrella’ tish…
Altho i like the sound of this…will be good for some good slow sexing…….
NO CIARA JUST NO! That was dry as hell! And I hate that picture above…I’m just not feeling Ciara anymore, she annoys me.
I like it
She sound great
usually i like her slow songs but this song is a bit boring
IT SOUND’S LIKE FANTASY RIDE OUTTAKE
I DIDN’T SAY IT WAS A OUTTAKE BUT IT SOUND’S LIKE ONE
Boring smh C’mon Ciara! I hope this is NOT the next single
I like this song i just hope all her stuff dont leak like fantasy ride
Why are all her songs about s** lately?? Is there not another topic she can sing about?..
song is HOT and only two songs leaked from Basic Instinct album ppl which were Speechless and Run It the rest of the songs were from past albums sheeshh
I like it, its very Janet Jackson Anytime Anyplace
I think it’s a good slow jam as an album track
I want to hear more single worthy tracks from ciara thou, but I think this album is heading in the right direction compared to fantasy ride, which just seem like she was trying staying current & had no musical direction.
Janet Jackson “Anytime Anyplace” (Official)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkn1-UWvGzQ
I like the song in general, but she should have used softer vocals. It sounds like she’s singing to hard over the laid back beat.
Y’all stay sayin something is “boring” or an “album filler”..
B**** don’t listen to it then!!! If she did something else you would say “she’s copying”… just stfu and go buy Ke$ha’s album or something.. This ain’t even a pop music blog..
DON’T EVER COMPARE A CLASSIC S*** RNB SONG LIKE “ANYTIME, ANYPLACE”
TO THIS BS
I THINK SHE TRYNNA B LIKE JANIT N DIS SONG
O WELL ONTO DA NEXT ONE
MAYB SHE CAN BE IN NEXT SEESON OF RUPAUL DRAG RACE
********************************************
DAT BEYONCE RAIN JUSS WONT LET UP
********************************************
LOL AN RIIHHANNA CANT SINGG
B**** LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
U ARE SO BGAISED U R S***
i like slow s*** songs but this boring
why is she letting all her songs leak
Trent u are so full of s***, this sounds nothing like J. Holidays “Bed” – that was a beast of a tune, this is just appalling
I liked it for the first minute, after that she just loses me.
I AGREE WIT TRENT IT DOO SOWN LIKE J HOLIDAY SONG!!
OH LORD! ciara’s songs are leaking AGAIN! she needs to fire somebody!
There is too many song which has been leaked. this albulm could be a flop like fantacy ride. she need to stop this leaking business.
Actually, this doesn’t sound anything like “Bed”… Idk, there’s something missing that just doesnt catch my ear… Its good, but i jus thate that it leaked.
that was nice. Am I the only one who likes ciara’s voice?
@SEAN2010
I didn’t say it sounded just like Janet’s anytime anywhere
I said it sound like she is using Janet Jackson classic material as an influence for her new album.
If you don’t agree that your opinion
It’s not that big of a deal
I AGREE…
THIS, sounds nothing like “Bed.” This tracks beat is really stripped, and VERY simple!
Song is kinda boring, I must admit, but the “cause you know I run it,” part was kinda catchy!!
It’s one thing to be influenced by someone but it’s another thing to continuously copy the s*** they do just because you “wanna be like them” . This is why I have issues with people like Ciara, Lady Gaga, Jason Derulo, the list goes on. They try too f****** hard to package themselves like their “idols”. The s*** shy stage persona who makes sultry sensual ballads and dance driven songs & videos has already been done by Janet Jackson & Aaliyah. BE YOURSELF CIARA!! You’re not Janet or Aaliyah. Janet was never a great singer but her songs from the Control album to The Velvet Rope album were classics. Your music is forgettable and mediocre. Your videos have the same type of choreography every time. Enough is enough
@true
After a few listens, i must agree, it does sound like she’s using Janet’s classic sound as an example, especially for this song.
Sean2010, you can choke on a rock or soemthing if you have a problem with what i’m saying. I really don’t care, because its my opinion & i’m allowed to have one.
@tracy
I think enough is enough with ppl like you. Those, who focus to much on the past & wanna put the new artits in a box. Anything they do, they copy someone, from Ciara, to Chris Brown to Lady Gaga, & the list goes on. It’s one thing to constructivley, criticize someone, but to constantly tear them down which is what pp llike you do is just ridiculous. Your a faceless person spewing a bunch of worthless garbage about someone who could care less about you & biased opinion. It’s a none fact that most Ciara HATERS are either Janet or Aaliyah STANS. And becasue these ladies are rocking like the old days, you wanna tear someone down who is at least a reminder of them. If you’re so much of a Janet & Aaliyah fan & if you “think” Ciara is copying them, not saying Ciara is, becasue i think she’s not, but you should be proud that someone is trying to continue that legacy, instead you spew out hate. I HATE PPL LIKE YOU!
The truth is, Ciara is one of the most INNOVATIVE artist that has emerged this decade. No one has done dancing in the female aspect, quite like her, since Janet. Not that she’s copying becasue Ciara has always had her own style, even during the Fantasy Ride era… Yeah she got a bit s***, but she’s 24 years-old, she should be able to express herself as a young woman & not being accused of sexing up for the sake of record sales & for the sake of competing with her peers. She draws her inspiration more so from Michael than Janet, but becasue she is female, ppl wanna see more of Janet in her than Michael. Also, if Ciara’s music is SO unforgettable & mediocre than why did you even bother to comment on this post about her. Obviously, something has brought your attention to her because its not her personal life. She manages to keep that guarded. Obviously, her music isnt that unforgettable & mediocre, if you’re naming it & calling all of her music videos the same. So take your hating ass, somewhere else.
@PUCCI
blah blah blah SHUT THE F*** UP. This is a blog. If want to comment on something, I’LL F****** DO SO and there’s nothing you can do about it. Ciara hasn’t innovated anything. She can dance, big deal. Her performance of Heal the World @ the BET Awards made everybody’s ears bleed. She’s not enigmatic like Beyonce or a talented instrumentalist like Alicia Keys. She’s average. It’s an insult to say she draws more inspiration from Michael. She’s not even in his sister’s league. Plus that’s a LIE. She said she modeled herself after JANET. Ciara fans get angry because deep down they know she tries to mimic the Jackson formula of entertainment and she falls sadly short. Usher, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga , even talentless Rihanna can say they’ve achieved a lot with using the influences of other artists. Ciara CAN’T. I don’t dislike her. She would’ve made a great professional dancer or model. Singing is not her forte. I’m also getting a little f****** tired of people throwing the word “hater” around to stop others from having a difference in opinion. Not everyone is gonna like everybody. Go and attack the people on this post calling your precious Ciara a drag queen and F*** OFF.
@PUCCI

______________________________________________________________________
BOO HOO, DO YOU WANT A TISSUE? OR MAYBE A PACIFIER? STOP YOUR F****** WHINING.If you hate people who are offended by Ci-ERROR’S blatant swagger-jacking, that makes you a HATER!!! LMAOOOOOO Now hop back on Ci-ERROR’S c*** or d***. Whichever one she has.
I’m team Ciara all the way but am I the only one who thinks The-Dreams and Tricky songs are very repetitive when it comes to the chorus part…maybe it’s just be…But I still like it…Like Trent said good Album song…not single material doe…
umm.. we knew dream and tricky used repetitive choruses when “Umbrella” came out.. y’all dummies be so damn LATE with s***.. It’s like you see EVERYTHING negative when it’s certain artists.. how many times did Beyonce repeat the same s*** in “Single Ladies”?? Who had a problem with the dream then???
I mean find something new to complain about. Ciara continuously makes great music.. it won’t matter what she does if you just don’t like her. stop commenting like you’re SUBJECTIVE or something.
did i miss something, when did Cici start getting all this criticism. i actually liked fantasy ride. i also love Janet and Aaliyah. I always said that you could tell that they both took pages from Janet, but so what is it really that serious. y’all need to leave all these ladies alone.
Bey
Riri
Cici
Keri
Kelly
Christina
Lady Gaga
Britney
those are just a few. yall are so busy over analyzing everything. I like something from everyone i listed. just enjoy the music
This song is just ‘there’; nothing catchy about it. Maybe she was influenced by Janet but the track is nowhere near the level of “Anytime Anyplace.” Trent is obviously biased in favor of Ciara (notice how he refers to the “Ride” progress as ‘slow’ but was quick to use the harsher word ‘struggling’ to describe Xtina’s “Not Myself”) BUT even he thinks this is only good enough to be an album filler. As someone who is not biased in favor of Ciara I’m not so sure it should even make the album cut.
@TRACY
Ciara’s whole career has been innovated, true she was more innovated when she first came out & mad FANTASTIC music. That’s why her name is always on ppls tounges & she constantly generates comments on this blog. And just like you, i can post a comment & this nothing YOU can do about it. You can keep your snotty & snooty ass opinion & it is not an insult to say that is inspired by Michael Jackson. The girl has said countless times that Michael is her biggest inspiration, why ppl like you wanna disregard that, idk, but its the truth, point blank. All about her singing. i’ll let you keep that one too, becasue ppl have been debating about this girl’s singing since she came out… What else is new??? She’s a hella of an entertainer & many have acknowledged that. So like i said before DONT HATE! And if you hate being labeled that, stop being one then.
@Greg
Now i see imma have to get real gritty with you.
First off B****, i wasnt talking to you. This was between myself & Tracy… Can you read b****???? I guess you got offeneded too. And really, swagger jacking? That is the most DUMBEST word that’s ever been invented. You wanna talk about blantant swagger jacking, take a look at Rihanna & her tour outfits, or maybe yourself. I could’ve sworn, i someone else has said that to me before regarding Ciara!! Now, take your ass to the drawing board & try again, You UNINTELLIGENT, IGNORANT ASS, DUMBASS “BLANTANT SWAGGER JACKING” B****!!!
Thank you!
@TRACY
And also, Tracy, did you read when i said, there was a difference in constructive criticism & attacking someone. You OUTRIGHT attacked this girl & that’s what makes you hater… So get over it!!!!
And really, you’re going to go there with the drag queen thing, ppl have been “MY PRECIOUS” Ciara a drag queen since she came out. I find no need to keep repeating myself to those ppl who know damn well, that she’s not drag queen. They do it just to get a rise outta ppl. You on the other hand, say what you say to be mean, hateful & nasty. So don’t defer attention from yourself because you don’t like what i’m saying to you. Guess what, i say what i want, & again, you can’t do anything about it!!!!
ciara can sing and she can dance , and as far as i can see, theres nothing wrong with borrowing a little bit from this one and that one all the others do it , so why the double standard for ciara, ciara you keep doing you baby girl you are looking good, and that body is just ripe for picking.
I LOVE this track……GO CICI go CICI GO!!!!
@ HATING IS A TERRIBLE THING……i agree…..i think it takes so much energy to be negative. Constructive criticism…and saying you dont like something is one thing….but blog readers can be down right nasty for no reason at all…..just move on to the next if you dont like it……
@ Tracy & Greg…….what u say actually says more about your own sad lives then the person you are attacking….SMH
2010 = C-ERA !!!!!!!
i do not see janet in a lot of ciaras dancing, she has a very unique style all her own. and she can dance her ass off and she can sing . ciara can move her body like its rubber and you don;t see that very often . thers not a single artist who can do her dance routines at all, not a single one, i love her dancing and the way she handles her moves in her dancing routines.
ciara just keep on keeping on , people can talk all they want to , and a lot of the ones thats talking are not supporting you any way , so to hell with what they are trying to do. theres many people who tries their level best to kill people spirits by saying negative and just s***** things to try and get under the artist skin . tell you what ciara keep digging that deep hole and just kick all of the people with negative comments to you into that hole and cover their asses up, and you keep doing your dam thing.
stay with your modeling and snatch all of the fuking endorsements, ads, magazine covers that you can get and keep right on pushing, go on and show all of them what you are working with. you are a young woman and the world is a big place and theres room for you and your s*** dance steps.
show the ones whos always saying negative and down right mean spirited comments toward you what you are going to do with your future and your career ,,just stay focus and keep your business going at a steady pace just like its going. ciara you will be just fine .
some of these basher will try to kill a wet dream if their asses could. and they aint doing s*** , just sitting at their computer sprewing out hate, and thats a fuking shame . but let them all know ciara that you are in it to win it .
I love this song. It sounds a bit like the Old school “s**” R&B.
Idk, but it kinda sounds like a song Aaliyah would sing. Miss her. 🙁
Go CiCi!
@PUCCI
DERANGED CI-ERROR STAN: PLEASE ADMIT YOURSELF TO THE PSYCH WARD IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE ENOUGH CRAZY PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND.
@REALITY 101
People are getting upset because what Greg and Tracy said is 100 percent TRUE. Sorry folks. Ciara has always been mediocre. Get over it.
@PUCCI
Nobody in the music industry thinks Ciara is innovative. Have we seen Ciara perform at the MTV VMAS, Grammys? NO. She caters to the BET Audience which isn’t saying much. She’s practically non-existent in the mainstream. Why would that be? Usher, JT, CB, Rihanna, Beyonce, Aaliyah, Gaga, and many others have been successful in the mainstream. You can get angry all you want but it won’t change the fact that she has never really had much global appeal as an artist or dancer (she’s a dancer who can’t sing). Maybe you should go buy more of her albums or do her promotions instead of arguing like a f****** lunatic with people on a goddamn blog. You stans are pathetic. She’s not God. She’s a B-list artist (just like Keri Hilson)
@PUCCI
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BOO HOO MORE OF YOUR F****** WHINING!!! SO PREDICTABLE. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU’RE DONE LICKING CI-ERROR’S ASS!!
P.S. Thank You for Letting My Comment Bother You So Much 🙂
this song is cool. BUT WHAT SHE NEEDS AND WHAT PEOPLE WANT IS A CLUB BANGER! not this slow R&B/pop song that will guarantee her a major flop. Like even worst than fantasy ride. so ciara you better wake up and know whats good for you. aka stop working with the dream.
I don’t see there being anything wrong with being musically influenced by other artist as long the artist is crediting who they are influenced by.
Justin Timberlake & Usher are influence by MJ but no one pick them apart for being musical influenced by MJ sound or trying to imitating him.
Ciara always said she was influenced by Janet & aaliyah, so if she is trying to define her own sound by who she is influenced by & still crediting those artist for inspiring her, what’s wrong with that.
Aaliyah idol was Janet Jackson.
@ ELLA……….SWEETIE….STFU……IF YOU DONT LIKE HER…….FINE….MOVE THE F*** ON TO SOMETHING YOU DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY WASTE ENERGY ON SOMEONE WHO DOESNT EVEN KNO YOU EXIST? ITS OBVIOUS THAT HER SUCCESS ANGERS YOU; YOU THINK SHE IS MEDIOCRE AND UR FRIENDS GREG AND TRACIE REFERENCED HER AS A B LIST ARTIST WHO HAS DONE NOTHING INNOVATIVE AND SHE IS SO IRRELEVANT…. IF THATS THE CASE Y THE F*** R U TYPING AN ENTRY IN HER POST!!!!! WHEN WILL U LOSERS UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR COMMENTS ,EVEN WHEN HATEFUL, DO NOTHING BUT FURTHER PROMOTE THE ARTIST YOU DESPISE!!! ITS ONE THING TO SAY YOU DONT LIKE HER….FINE….BUT TO CALL THIS GIRL A T***** IS SO DISTASTEFUL…….YOU, TRACY, GREG AND ALL THE OTHER PATHETIC LUNATICS WHO HIDE BEHIND COMPUTERS ATTACKING PPL YOU ENVY NEED TO GET A LIFE………ITS SO SAD…..IS YOUR LIFE THAT VOID OF SUBSTANCE ? WHILE YOU AND YOUR POSSE TALK S*** THE CHECKS ARE STILL CLEARING THE BANK…..NOW YOU GET OVER IT….
@REALITY101
DELUSIONAL CI-ERROR STAN. BOW DOWN TO YOUR MAN-LOOKING IDOL. HER FLOP-TASTIC “FANTASY RIDE” WAS MORE LIKE A NIGHTMARE
I’m not a Ciara fan or stan but some of the stuff she does is played out. I also found it a little strange when she deliberately hired Janet Jackson’s former choreographer Tina Landon for her “Promise” video (the one wear she’s dancing with the microphone at the beginning~Janet J’s Pleasure Principle anyone?)
@REALITY101
Why would ANYONE envy a girl who looks like a t***** & can’t sing? Chile bye!!
SOME OF YOU LOSERS ON HERE I TELL YOU….. Y’ALL HAVE PATHECTIC LIVES. WHILE THE QUEEN IS GETTING HERS…. WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING? WHILE QUEEN C MAKING MILLIONS… WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING? WHILE QUEEN C IS BLESSED BY THE SUCCESS…. WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING. CIARA FANS/STANS AND THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT OUR BELOVED C. DON’T MIND THE HATERS. THEY DON’T EXIST. IF CIARA AIN’T IMPORTANT TO Y’ALL LOW LIFE C**** THEN WHY ARE YOU DRAINING Y’ALL ENERGY HATING ON HER. SCARED THAT SHE’S SHITTIIN ON Y’ALL FAVS WHICH SHE STILL IS. CIARA PRINCESS HARRIS 2010 BITCHEZ!!!!!
Yeah it does sound more “AnyTime Anyplace” then it is “Bed” by j.holiday….are you serious trent?? have you ever even heard “Bed” it sounds nothing like this song. Anyway i like it but it is kinda boring…but who cares as long as its not a single i dont see the problem…
I LOVE IT, CIARA IS SO TALENTIVE AND GREAT DANCER OF ALL TIMES!
@CHERIE4747
Okay, here’s where you make a fool of yourself. One, a lot of ppl think that Ciara is innovative, performing on MTVA, the VMAs & the Grammys, does not make you an innovated artist..
TWO, i didnt really get angry, i just stated a fact. I went hard on Greg, because for ONE he budded in a conversation that had nothing to do with him.
THIRD, just when in the hell did i say Ciara was God, first off i know she’s a real person. Not one time did you ever refere to her as QUEEN C, or Cisus… Now did you read that right?
And FOURTH, just as you are allowed to post your opinion, so am I. You’re allowed to disagree with me & i am allowed to disagree with you. Ppl like you always wanna attack the fans for liking an artist & defending them when we dont agree with the things you say about them. Guess what, that’s life. Deal with it! Don’t get mad, just move on. Call me crazy, & all types of lunatics if you want to, but what does that make you if your arguing with me. Why are you wasting your finger energy typing a comment back to me????
Just curious.
@GREG,
You are so welcome. I’m glad that I a FACELESS person on the internet helped you accomplish your mission, since you have no purpose in life other than to do that….
Lmfao, I’m done with this stupid mess! See ya!
@ELLA
Hey ELLA, maybe you should admit yourself too,… Hope to see you there. LMFAO! Honestly, i said nothing wrong. I just stated my opinion, if you don’t like it, GUESS WHAT, don’t respond back to it!!!!
@REALITY101
I agrew with you. HATERS will never learn.
sorry meant to say “AGREE”
I agree, this sounds NOTHING like ‘Bed’. This is awful. Why would Ciara let the dream produce her ENTIRE album? VERY BAD CALL CICI!
At first I was like damn, I’m not feeling this. Once I got to the middle I realized it’s not bad. It’s pretty s*** and I don’t mind it being an album cut.
