Bam the reason Ciara's songs sound high school is not just the lyrics but the production. Dose and Level Up sound like songs from 10 to 12 years ago. She should have made those songs back then. Now what she needs is another 'Promise', 'Ride', and 'Freak Me'. Those kind of songs would put her back on charts and on the radio. Ella Mai gets radio play. If Ciara wants radio play she needs radio friendly songs ie songs that work well mixing in with other songs on radio playlists. Dope is a great song but it is too urban for pop radio and too dated for black radio so that's that. Same goes for Level Up, although the video for that song brought on viewers it was only going to sizzle a little and then vanish which is what happened. Freak Me was her best bet but she did not promote it.
