Is Ciara onto a chart winner with new single ‘I Bet’?
If early radio and online streams are any indication, it seems the Harmony Samuels production is heading in one direction…upwards.
Details below…
After just three days of radio play and two weeks ahead of its official radio release, the truth baring ballad has racked up ample spins on the Urban format and possess a 107 bullet already. Translation? It’s easily one of Ci’s most successful out of the gate roll-out’s in recent years and is performing on-par with ‘Body Party’.
On the streaming front, the track has amassed 1.5million plays in a mere matter of days.
Will it maintain the buzz moving forward? We certainly hope so. We’re just eager to see the song paired with an engaging/unexpected video to fully take advantage of the affect streaming has on the charts.
For now, though, listen to ‘I Bet’ below and check out our interview with producer Harmony – who dished on the single’s parent album ‘Jackie’.
Not joking, I pretty much forgot about this song already. I like it, but she needs to make a video or have a performance asap.
You forgot about it, but u were the first to comment? Nvm, I forgot being a TGJ commentator is your day job. Get your trident gum, sis!
Doesn’t mean crap, but carry on. You see how Sevyn teased DKTF and a few days later had it on itunes and Amazon M**? We live in the NOW, and I know I’m not the only one that forgot this song this week.
But notice noone is checking for sevyn and chris is about to go to prison
right ci-nigggga is a forgettable artist
When will crashLiyah.
She has already done this in her career which is he her sales figures US and WW s**t on Ci.
QUEEN CICI!!!!!!! #CI6 #SHESCOMING
Still not on iTunes….. I’ve been playing this non stop via vevo. So tempted to download it for free ugh
I really do think this is just a promo single before she really hits us hard with a banger! It’s a clever way for her to get people talking about her again. I love this song though!
She did that with her last 3 flops. That’s her problem, she keep doing the same damn thing and getting the same results time after time. This should be for sale NOW. If artist are dropping full albums out of nowhere, then you can drop a 99 cent single. These labels keep doing the same OLD business model when it’s a new day and age.
I honestly don’t know where these labels are going with Ciara’s career and tbh I don’t think they know either.
The girl is obviously marketable but it’s like they keep bringing her out with these same tired ass songs that sound like filler tracks! Hook the girl up with composers that write music for Sam Smith . It’s like everyone’s singing R&B music but the R&B artists. Like what’s going on?
I want a dance track! I’m not trying to go see Ciara sing a bunch of ballads in concert with her one octive. I want URBAN dance tracks from her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND HER ARTISTRY. Keisha Cole or Fantasia singing ballad? Yes. Ciara? I just want to dance when I go see her. She can’t sing ballads very well live.
Even though some CiCi fans on this site shade Nicki on the daily, I will support CiCi this era. can’t wait for her new music.
Shut up Ho!
I like the song, but it will be an inevitable flop.
Says a Rita Whora stan. Lol. When is “Testicles” coming out, or is it “Television” or “Telephone?” 😀
Good for you Cici 🙂
Well it is her best song in recent years… Maybe be even EVER! It gives me Rihanna – We Ride, DC – Bills Bills Bills and TLC – No Scrubs vibes…
I didn’t mean that extra “be” lol…
This is nice and all, but…….
What’s the release date of the song?
January 21st it will be available on iTunes
That’s so horrible. My fav has got to get her s*** together. The other artist on that label songs are released on time. I don’t think it’s the label. I’m beginning to think its her. she always loses out on the 1st two weeks of sales like an idiot! She’s too focused on what radio will play. Forget radio and scrap in all te sales you can.
considering she’s pretty much one album away from epic forcing LA Reid to drop her I really don’t see how comparing it to body party is a compliment. It did okay as a single (translation VERY well for Ciara) but the album it was included on sank like the titanic.
I doubt this song will do any justice for her. It’s boring. It’s cliché. It’s forgettable. The music video might also be boring as well. People should know and understand that the lyrics are the script of the video. She must work with an exciting director like Melina Matsoukas. She or any other well-known music video director might save the song.
THE IRONY OF THAT COMING FROM A RIHJECT FAN?????? AT LEAST CI-FLOPRA HAS ONE STRONG FORMIDABLE TALENT…(SHE CAN ACTUALLY DANCE).
Aren’t you studying Law? Why is your English and grammar so poor? You said that you’re studying Law in the UK and you will be graduating in 6 month. I’ll be checking for you after “graduation.” XD 😀 😀 😀

If hse had a stronger voice she could pull it off tho b/c of performances. Her voice can’t sell this song tho…………….. She needs a club banger. ASAP!
Even though I hate the Ciara fans on this site, I actually do like Ciara and this song. I just don’t understand why it is not on iTunes already.
January 21st
I love this song. They playing it in Georgia already. I’m proud of her. Hope this year she takes over to be honest.
Lol @ #Ci6. It’s becoming such a plague on twitter. 😀
I’m not understanding her teams moves this go around, but hopefully they get it together. Regardless of how many streams she has; Im already forgetting the song, it’s not trending anywhere, and she isn’t even promoting. Crying about a n**** on a song once again. The routine is tired like her discography.
The song is stale as f*** and her vocals are gross
I honestly never hated on this girl before until her fans saw me supporting a new girl and they “thought” this is their best chance to get the upper hand in dragging someone.
But on an important note I always will support “R&B” and the artists in the genre but this song for Ciara is NOT it for me. Her fans are desperate for new music from her so of course their going to rave for anything at this point. The songs melody sounds like “All My Life” by KCi ans JoJo but it has a thotty message behind it.
Nothing new here.
They can hate all they want because not a single Ciara album comes close to Tinashe’s album. Tin problem is that she stayed on 2 On 2 LONG, which is sad cause that’s the lest bestsong on the album. Love yyour avi btw.
Yes I agree, Tee has more eclectic songs than Ciara ALREADY in her career. And yes “2 On” was definitely extended too long and that’s only because her second single “Pretend” which I love wasn’t a perfect follow up. She released that single because she didn’t want people to think that she is one dimensional but “All Hands On Deck” should have been been the second single.
I ACTUALLY AGREE, BUT I STILL THINK CIBOY IS A BETTER PERFORMER AND CAN HOLD DOWN A STAGE BETTER THAN TINMAN THO….
I really tried to get into this song. I was hoping this would be that much needed hit for Ciara, but.this.song.is.just.so…. well…you know. Maybe the album will have better songs.
Death at this not even being on iTunes yet. Epic really doesn’t care about anyone on that label except for Meghan Trainor (and that’s only because she has the fad’s old manager).
she does???
whats her managers name?
Troy Carter.
Fad fired him during it’s last era because he changed the second single from “Venus” (which is one of the gayest songs of all time and would’ve BOMBED) to “Do What U Want” (which it decided to sabotage. Dumb b****, that was her best single since 2010).
Michael Jackson is keeping Epic afloat. Epic needs to drop LA and every flop he’s signed.
Song is ok sounds like a mixtape bop. Her last album was good. She’s getting to old now tho. The time when could have been the black Britney has passed. Her cloying sweet attitude was the nail in her career coffin.
Love the song! I’m sold! Copping her singles and album.
FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually want Ciara to win this round…Despite the fact, that most of her stans are imbeciles
I like your Commenta
Ok you go ci
Not really here for Cici but i do wish her well #BodyParty and #Ride Slayed so Good luck to her in these tumultuous times for R&b music!!
The song slays and the haters are just mad Ciaras here to stay.
Not everyone in here spewing hate and opinions BUT the Ciara fans…..

Its fun to watch yall seethe, The song is doing well in streaming!

I like it!! I get an old school vibe from it!! hopefully this will be the song to put Ciara back on top.

Cute chick.
Sigh…
She’s just being cautious, I mean look at what happened to one woman army! Sorry I flopped and flop me good was a waste of budget money. Can’t blame her or the label, she wants to win, they want her to win, we want her to win. It sounds like she may just win this time. I’m lovin the single.
I can’t believe she didn’t come harder out the gate this time. This song just sounds like a mixtape track or album cut to me. Pop/r&b is back on pop radio. If Ciara could find the right single, and that’s a big if at this point in her career, she could pull out a win. But she’s not going to do it with this.
