Hot Topic: Would You Buy Ciara’s ‘Overdose’?

Last week, Ciara‘s ever loyal ‘C-Squad’ welcomed the leak of ‘Overdose’, a jam recorded for the stars upcoming ‘One Woman Army’ album.

However, much to the dismay of her supports, the cut is yet to be placed on iTunes– despite marking one of the singer’s better received releases.

So well received, Epic executive LA Reid took to Twitter to address its surfacing hours later, asking fans to share their thoughts on its sound.

Now That Grape Juice asks…

If ‘Overdose‘ was sent to radio and made available for release, would you buy it?

Let us know below…

    HELL YA I WOULD BUY IT!, the snippet go hard to be honest i think she’s better doing pop, cuz it fits her now #CSQUAD

    • the realest July 23, 2012

      its ok. its a fine pop jam.

      but why would they call it overdosin? The title needs to be changed I mean, if Heidi Montag did it first thats saying SOMETHING.

      I think its fine for the album but not good enough to lead the era…

  2. JoArmy July 23, 2012

    I like it but noooooooooo I dont think soooooooooooooooo not after that terrible flop of a single called sweat.

    • ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 23, 2012

      How can ‘Sweat’ be a single when it was never released? Check your facts. Its radio release and iTunes release date was scrapped. It’s not a single.

      • JoArmy July 23, 2012

        STILL its a terrible song

      • ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 23, 2012

        I think it was great, but that’s down to personal preference 🙂 The beat was great, though.

    • Sheltop July 23, 2012

      Im actually incline to agree with ASAP #sweat went hard!

  3. TM July 23, 2012

    If the music is good yeah I will buy it! If she was Kelly Rowland I will definitely buy it b/c that’s my girl! But I like Ciara too but I think ciara is going to bring it! But I’m so happy for Ciara!

  4. JoArmy July 23, 2012

    Reply to this to GET ciara unflop herself…

    • Sleazy July 23, 2012

      Says a Jojo stan who fav can’t even get an album out oops and has less hits and album sales than Ciara

      • JoArmy July 23, 2012

        Pfft lmao lmao ewww pity she got Basic flop still playing in her car

    • ciciSWAG!!!!!!!! October 26, 2012

      jojo’s dusty ass dryed up a good hmmm 7-8 years ago an since then ciara has got hmmmm numerous awards, 21+ singles, sold millions and not to mention calaboed with missy, luda, justin timberlake, mindless behaviour, 50 cent etc, etc.

  5. Benron July 23, 2012

    “Ciara‘s ever loyal ‘C-Squad’”

    Hasn’t basic insticnt sold 60k Worldwide? How on earth are they loyal. She has no singles doing anything on the radio and will flop hard. I predict 25k-70k <- AND that last one is if she is lucky!

    • JoArmy July 23, 2012

      Lmao good god that low…..u sure ur prediction right?

      • Benron July 23, 2012

        Positive.

    • ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 23, 2012

      ‘Basic Instinct’ sold 70k just in the US. It debuted with 40k sales and stayed in the chart for about 2 months, so obviously your prediction is not correct.

      Anyway, ‘BI’ was a commercial failure because her videos were not played on any channel worldwide and her songs were not playlisted on radio because of Jive sabotaging her. She can do better with the right team imo.

      • JoArmy July 23, 2012

        His prediction is meant for her upcoming album…

      • ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 23, 2012

        In his comment, he said ‘BI’ sold 60k worldwide. That’s the part I was replying to.

      • JoArmy July 23, 2012

        ohh my bad >.<

      • Benron July 23, 2012

        Whoops I heard that on twitter!

  6. ENOUGH ONIKA July 23, 2012

    I would. The sound is good for radio and that’s what she needs right now, just focusing on getting her foot back in the door. She should release this to mainstream pop station then come out with a banging urban single to release to the urban market and promote both simultaneously.

  7. Carl Nwabudike July 23, 2012

    I would most definitely buy it, the song suggests that Ciara is on the right track.. People need to stop knocking her. Her past blunders have been because of album leaks, poor promotion and wrong single choices. With the right singles and PROPER promotion she’d be successful again.

  8. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 23, 2012

    I don’t think I would buy the song, because I usually buy albums instead of singles anyway, but tbh I don’t think the song is that good. Maybe it’s a grower, though and objectively it’s the most radio friendly song she’s come up with since ‘Like A Boy’. They could give it a shot I suppose. It’s great for the summer and I think it would do quite well on rhythmic and pop radio as long as they release something HOT for urban radio simultaneously

  9. Honestly Speaking July 23, 2012

    I think that it is much to early to know what direction this project is truly heading in and what the overall or dominate sound will be. Ciara definitely has the voice for Pop music and Overdose is a nice song although it does give off Britney vibes circa her “Circus” or “Femme Fetale” eras. I would need to hear more from the album and probably snippets from the entire body of work before saying “yes” to investing my money in something from Ciara.

    • Honestly Speaking July 23, 2012

      *too early

  10. JoArmy July 23, 2012

    Obviously alot of people dislike ciara enough to start a petition to stop her from making music….

    • ciciSWAG!!!!!!!! October 26, 2012

      b**** wake the fark up. Jojo carnt afford a farkin army. so i calling myself JOARMY. LMFAOOOO!!!!!!!!!

      • ciciSWAG!!!!!!!! October 26, 2012

        so i wouldnt be*

  11. monstarebel July 23, 2012

    HELL NO!!!!!! THAT S*** SOUNDS LIKE A TRACK BRITNEY SPEARS REJECTED! CIARA YOUR CAREER IS OVA SWEETIE LOL!!!!!

    • jazzyd July 24, 2012

      b**** get a life dumb f*** if you dont like my cici than why waste yo damn time to talk a whole lot of s*** you cant back up #sweat and overdose sounds good to me and hell yeah i would buy both of them mothafuckas lol #teamciara b****

  12. Kiddy K July 23, 2012

    At this point as much I love me some CiCi she needs a new team. She’s talented and has potential but your team is not supportive like they should be. Look at Beyonce’s team or even Briteny’s when they come with a new release it’s swift and on point the single drops like 2 months before the album, the video drops like 6 weeks to the album and the albums is released on time. I HATE IT when artist give you a date and a single and then they wanna push back the album, to me it show’s no faith in the project in the first place.

  13. Sleazy July 23, 2012

    YES!! A hater would never admit so Who gives a s***? The song is a radio Hit its amazing and Catchy *somebody call the doctor we got a Case of jealousy*

    • JoArmy July 23, 2012

      Somebody call a doctor we have a case of FLOPS

      • Chocky August 4, 2012

        @JoArmy why you hating for she still earns more then you whether her albums are flops or not. smh

    • ciciSWAG!!!!!!!! October 26, 2012

      @JoArmy jojo is the floppy b****. That b**** cant even afford a farken army so i wouldnt be callin myslef that.

  14. Love on top July 23, 2012

    Yess its my kinda song!!!! I like a catchy song These uptight h*** be lying

  15. WorldSide July 23, 2012

    Yessssss!

  16. DappY July 23, 2012

    @ESSENCE OF SHAUN only made that petition cus his a Hater and The fact that I revealed he has her A***! And anybody that’s a HATER would do that It got NOTHING to do with her MUSIC I can do That to JOJO to but it looks like her RECORD label has already started their own petition with her 3 lead flop singles and her new 1 is a the disabled daughter “RIDE” and “MOTIvATION

    • JoArmy July 23, 2012

      Show how much u know…… jojo released one single that actually charted…..ummmmmm where is Sweat????? oh got scrapped and put in a pile with all of Ciara’s basic flops cds.

      • Elvick July 29, 2012

        I love JoJo, but come on now… her 3rd album has been scrapped TWICE now.

        RIP All I Want Is Everything
        RIP Jumping Trains

        People should be teaming up against s***** labels mistreating their artists. Not trying to tear artists apart for no damn reason.

        JoJo and Ciara aren’t even in the same market. The cross over fans, like myself, aren’t exactly the bulk of either of their fanbase.

  17. Poisonous July 23, 2012

    Only an idiot wouldn’t. ‘Overdose’ slays and lessors will have to deal…

  18. Luckymrlove July 23, 2012

    Of Course I would Buy Ciara’s Overdose… I Just really want her to deliver something soon!!!!!

  19. CCFan007 July 23, 2012

    Hell yeah! Overdose nocks hard! i LOVE it 😀

  20. Poisonous July 23, 2012

    Only an idiot wouldn’t. ‘Overdose’ slays and lessors will have to deal..

  21. Jay Jay July 23, 2012

    Hell f*** yea ill buy it

  22. Matthew Charlery-Smith July 23, 2012

    Both “Sweat” and this song, “Overdose” are good songs. Why are the label stalling? This isn’t good. Money may be tight but when confidence is in a project, i.e. a month of it circulating, a good video and promotional appearances people will get into it. Ciara has almost exactly what Chris Brown does so she can keep a crowd entertained. Instead she’s releasing a few songs which aren’t going to do the album any justice as she’ll have to release at least 2 more officially before she drops the album which will be probably 11 tracks. By then we would have heard 1/2 the songs on it and it will kill the project! Do what the greats do, 1 or 2 singles, a great video then drop the album!

    • ENOUGH ONIKA July 23, 2012

      I disagree, they need to take as much time as they need to ensure Ciara has a solid and successful album. They’re just testing to see which direction and sound Ciara should explore this time around that’ll get people re-interested in her music. Ciara’s career is in a delicate state and rushing just to have something new out wouldn’t be wise. She’s gotta come back stronger than ever this time and the sound has to be on point and match the Ciara they’re trying to market. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind waiting until 2013 for her official single and album. This is her third shot, she’s very lucky to even had a second in this industry….

      • Alec July 23, 2012

        Enough Onika, I agree. Nice statement!

  23. CAREERENDER July 23, 2012

      • ciciSWAG!!!!!!!! October 26, 2012

        holy f*** shut up.lol

  24. Casual July 23, 2012

    Tbh, I would not buy the song, but I think they should go with it. It’s the most commercial release she’s put out in years, and it fits right in with the pop/techno sound that’s dominating pop radio right now.

  25. imusicjunkie July 23, 2012

    Yes I would its her best pop song to date. & People need to get over that dumbass petiton that a hater made. If you have nothing else better to do with your life than sign or make a petition about someone you don’t even know, you need to get a life.

  26. CAREERENDER July 23, 2012

    And there is also this cereal bowl lipped swamp rat who is always hallucinating —-> honestly speaking

    Flop ass b**** with flop ass comments

    • Lax July 23, 2012

      @CARRENDER YO ass hates any one who DEFENDS RIHANNA, TELL US WHY YOU MAD. Remember when there was only about five Navy officer’s posting on Rihanna? and the Bey Hive always made hash out of us now there’s a few more and they still do not touch the number of Bey Hive Fans!

  27. Killer Lovers!!! July 23, 2012

    I’m Overdose Listening 2 It!!!I Love It!!!
    The Single Sweat???Hmm…I. Don’t Even Listen 2 The Song So How The Hell I’m Goin 2 Sweat Over It!!!

  28. Sleazy July 23, 2012

    HEFFER NO? Ciara discography makes jojo look like Keri hilson….. You will not come for someone when your fav CAN’T even get an album out? And trying to sing bout s** to get noticed anyway remember The FIRST single the atrocious “The other chick” ? Remember that Flop? so it was changed Even had a video? Then disaster (Which I like) ? Which was exactly that and S*** 2me? You will not! Now she coming with her new single “Ride” “motivation” inspired…. __/ your welcome

    • JoArmy July 23, 2012

      Do you know if your fav is even a man or woman???? Talk about JoJo all you want but Ciara can’t get over Basic Flop and “Demonstrate” shits on “Ride” 44595385938594 times. Only thing Ciara can ride is her own D***. She is stuck b deciding if to be a man or woman. Sit b****

    • JoArmy July 23, 2012

      Also who cares about Ciara’s Discography…that was years ago and all the money she made then..where is it now?? Ohhhh it went into to funding Basic Flop which her label wasnt even backing her>>lmao

      • STAN4CI July 23, 2012

        Girl Pause. You have no room to talk Jojo’s Career is DEAD. Does she even have a Grammy?

      • Love on top July 23, 2012

        Jojo career is deader than a possum on a free way……… That girl has like 2 top 10 hits and that’s it I don’t know where her “Stan” gets all this attitude when her favs last album went gold and that like 62258295kjdedjdh years ago

      • Elvick July 29, 2012

        All of you need to just hush it. Two *WOMEN* who are being screwed over by the industry don’t need derps like yourselves fighting invisible battles for them.

        Shoo.

  29. BEYONCE’S WEAVE July 23, 2012

    Nope, not even if it was offered for free.

    • JoArmy July 23, 2012

      Thank You!!

  30. Monstarebel July 23, 2012

    Basic song for a basic b**** named Ciara The Peasant Harris…. I have absolutely no hope in this h**!!!!

  31. Sleazy July 23, 2012

    This is 4da jojo stan

    • ciciSWAG!!!!!!!! October 26, 2012

      lol that b**** needs to sit her ass down becasue one that jojo carnt even afford a farken army, and her career is deader then a mchammer music video.

  32. POP ROYALTY ( F*** Yo Fav) July 23, 2012

    yes and no.

  33. That B*tch July 23, 2012

    I like the song, it’s much better then sweat in my opinion but I don’t buy singles.

  34. FAFRELOADED July 23, 2012

    She needs to release a video. I’ve heard she has a collab w/ Nicki as well… It’s supposed to drop iN OCT.

  35. andres July 23, 2012

    ANYTHING CIARA PUTS OUT I WILL BUY BECAUSE SHE IS TRUE TALENT AND ONLY ONE!! LUV U CICI!! 🙂 NOW OVERDOSE IS AMAZINGGGG!!! AND SWEAT WAS TOO! ITS JUST THAT PEOPLE HAVE SUCKY MUSIC TASTE 🙂

  36. trey July 23, 2012

    she needs to release it to itunees quickly and kelly needs to follow suite with ice

  37. Dejae July 23, 2012

    Nope wouldn’t buy it. Too pop and I don’t dig pop. She needs to come out with R&B music.

    • REAL TALENT WINS! July 23, 2012

      Agreed. I was hoping Ciara would be part of the solution, not add to the problem.

      No I won’t be buying this.

    • Mike Sam, jr July 23, 2012

      actually the song has an old school feel to it, that’s why I love it….

  38. Sheltop July 23, 2012

    i loooooove the song!

  39. YESIDIDBITCH July 23, 2012

    OMG i love it! I would buy it

  40. Gilberto July 23, 2012

    I don’t buy singles, but I liked Overdose. I ain’t a huge fan of dance songs, but I like this song. It isn’t overproduced like the others dance songs. The beat is great, it’s actually very urban. And to top it off, finally, Ciara is singing! I’m happy that she stopped whispering on her records.

  41. JER July 23, 2012

    Sounds like someone else. Can’t put my finger on it. It’s not a smash either way but it’s decent.

  42. An0thrDre July 23, 2012

    I wish it were available to buy! It’s such a fun, catchy, upbeat tune. Very retro feel I Love the song!

  43. steph July 23, 2012

    I would

  44. LTM July 23, 2012

    Lol @ a JoJo stan coming for Ciara. JoJo only gets press for cover songs. Girl can’t even get an album out

    I don’t buy singles but I will buy it if it was released just to show support. Its a solid pop track, not too basic but not over done and mind blowing. It could be a hit if it received the right treatment, something Ciara’s team has always struggled with. And Ciara desperately needs a hit. If she can put out hit after ht her album MAY reach 1million world wide. Which isn’t impressive really, but for Ciara that would be a huge step forward

  45. LTM July 23, 2012

    As a fan, I would be satisfied if One Woman Army goes gold and has a platinum single

  46. Love on top July 23, 2012

    I will buy it I really like it it and her tone I haven’t bought a single since Beyonce “4” ended But her for One Woman Army and I will not go as far to say that this song sucks Cus he don’t

  47. Mike Sam, jr July 23, 2012

    HYFR in my Drake Voice……its addictive, this song..

  48. hlove July 23, 2012

    Ciara, Ashanti and Ameriie are the 3 female artists I have given up hope for….
    So I would not buy the single or the album but I will have a listen..

  49. Jordy July 23, 2012

    this single is way to pop! I hate it and her voice is too high she needs more bass. she needs to bring a hip hop club banger to the scene and give more of a Tom boy vibe because overdose is some skinny b**** s***

  50. Jordy July 24, 2012

    I pray for this girl!!

  51. Saxon_Minaj July 24, 2012

    I luv this girl so much ,im on it 🙂

  52. Eric Porter July 27, 2012
