Ciara‘s first single release of 2025 comes via the sensual new jam ‘Ecstasy.’

The heavily teased track, which follows the release of 2024’s Busta Rhymes-assisted ‘Wassup,’ is believed to be one of many gems set to line the R&B diva’s forthcoming new album – her first studio effort since 2019’s ‘Beauty Marks.’

“My body comes alive / When you get real close / You gon’ be surprised / If I get exposed / ‘Cause you’re like a hit of ecstasy / I can feel you all inside,” she croons over Leather Jackett production.

Branding the tune a “big sister” to her 2007 hit ‘Promise,’ look inside for your first taste of ‘Ecstasy’ courtesy its accompanying music video.
