Ciara is back!
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the R&B star has unleashed a sensual ode ‘Greatest Love.’
An unashamed love letter to husband Russell Wilson, the track sees CiCi profess all the reasons why she has the ultimate bae.
Against the backdrop of blazing production, the songbird salutes her hubby for taking her son as his own and declares that it’s them against the world.
Even more exciting for fans is that the song’s arrival came packaged with its music video.
Check out both below…
While sonically cut from the same cloth as the likes of ‘Body Party’ and ‘Promise,’ the song skews much more personal lyrically and stands out as such. Kudos to Ci for serving up the familiar while pairing it with a fresh perspective.
Visually, as ever, she slays!

I like this ci https://youtu.be/jk9gEXUWrUM
Her looks are on point!
I think this would sound way better if she sang it in a lower octave, because that tone and her delivery doesn’t suit the production, like it should be slower and more sultry. But it could grow on me maybe. I’m rooting for her and I know negative comments will follow but we cannot deny her legacy, she came in this game full force and she continues to do her thing.
I couldn’t agree more. And if she spoke/rapped more of it it would been better. That pitch for her is too harsh
What in the chopped and screwed no melody having offbeat heck is going on here ?
Maybe I have to listen a few times to work it out.
Ok Ci Ci. Givin’ us Promise, Like A Boy, & Ride teas…
It’s not child l…those song that u mention is superior compare to this…greatest flop…and I’m a Ciara fan since day 1!!! Keep this…we want bangers…not a diary of this…
Exactly! Ciara can’t get it together . Very LACKLUSTER. Not saying it’s horrible it’s lackluster. Her tone is not working on this it sounds almost pitchy ON the record . No dance scene in the video ? Ciara atleast gives us what you’re known for like wow . I am disappointed yet again. Sigh
The lyrics are sweet but the song itself and the vocals are meh.
Yaasss CiCi!!! I’ve been waiting for you to come back! Please stay in this direction, it’s where you shine the brightest ?
Yes! This is what Ariana tried to do lol…Ciara slayed her whole album in 4 minutes! ???
Everything! You hear me.
This is it! This seems so pure. It’s her lane, and the lyrics is personal. The whole feel of this is just right. And that video is simple yet affective.
Yes Meme! ✅ ✅ ✅
Ciara, you better slay me this morning ? ? ? That beat, the atmosphere, real lyrics…. ?
Alot of yall are pre-programmed to HATE!!!! THIS SLAYS SO HARD! Why do yall have to be so hard on black women ????? This NEXT LEVEL! & THE FIRST BOP OF 2019!!!!!!!
Its about time! ciara leave the pop alone!!!! No white producer has given her a major hit. Stick to your true culture ciara. You’re not rihanna sis. You are CIARA! Iconic
Ok Ci this is EVERYTHING
Horrible – she can’t sing – like absolutely no progress or vocal growth. Sorry.. just be s model.
She looks amazing, but the song isn’t good at all.
Does she have a vocal producer/engineer? Her approach on this song, vocally was poor and it will prohibit the song from catching on.
THIS is the Ciara I’ve been waiting for!! AT LAST! I love it! The song, visuals are all dead ON! So glad she’s officially back! Can’t wait to see her perform it! Sounds like a Spring hit to me.
WOW!
How DISAPPOINTING!
WTF!
Tinashe is a Ciara clone, on God lol ?☁️
Alright, this can definitely play in my R&B rotation.
As for the video, for some reason I kept imagining a animated fairytale themed visual bringing these lyrics to life. But whatever. I dig the song
Something sounds off with the song structure. It’s like one long interlude with no discernable verse and chorus. How did this make it out of the studio?
Can the haters hear themselves? Rap singing and Trap has killed the R&B vocal and replaced it on the mainstream. This is not the 90’s or 2000’s – the charts and GP are not looking for a hardcore R&B vocal for it to ‘Catch On’. This is one of CiCi’s two lanes: sensual mid tempo ballad or high octane. Let her live ✋?I preferred I Bet – but she seems authentic in this Lane and I ain’t mad at her for tellin’ it.
sounds like something dawn richard would’ve done better
I’ll be playing this valentines night….
She is soooo beautiful and this song is good. If she’s gonna serve up in this lane then she’ll be serving what we’ve all been waiting in line for.
She’s got hustle!
The production is giving me Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis vibes!!
✅ ✅ ✅
She looks good, but doesn’t sound it.
I love you sooo much Ciara and youre a beautiful soul but WHHHYYYYY????? Im so tired of these phuckin’ nursery rhyme a** songs. Kudos for not jumping on the bandwagon like everyone else with the trap & b but dam. Please let me pick your songs before you release them
Nursery rhymes? Did you even listen to the lyrics?
HEr tone is still too high & empty sounding. She never was a powerhouse singer, but her earlier music voice had more depth & soul. Song is average @ best smh come on cici!!
Not personally what I want to see/hear from Ciara, but that’s ok. Sonically, this might make it to urban radio/Spotify for CiCi. I wish she had set it off with some unique choreography like with “Promise”…
