Ciara serves pretty in pink on the cover of Allure Magazine‘s November issue.

The stage blazer’s appearance comes amidst ample activity in her ever-growing empire. Indeed, last month she launched a beauty range named On A Mission and she more recently unlocked her brand new single ‘Better Thangs’ with Summer Walker. 

The latter is lifted from CiCi’s incoming eighth studio album – her first since 2019’s ‘Beauty Marks.’

Speaking with the publication, she opened up about the bass-driven LP and not being fazed by the notion of competition when it comes to the rapidly growing number of celebrity beauty brands

Ciara is strutting the promotional trail in support of her new single ‘Better Thangs’ and 93.5 KDAY was the singer’s latest stop.

Chopping it up with hosts Cece Valencia and Romeo, CiCi dished on working with Summer Walker on the track. The GRAMMY winner revealed she gave her friend and fellow R&B chanteuse three songs to pick from and the end result ended up being what was hoped for all along.

Expanding on the process of piecing together the cut’s housing album (the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Beauty Marks’), the 36-year-old shared that the process of recording took “about two weeks” during the pandemic and saw her creative juices flowing with right-hand producer Theron Thomas.

After soliciting Ciara to contribute to her chart-topping latest album, ‘Still Over It’ diva Summer Walker made her way over to the forthcoming LP of her fellow Atlanta-born R&B star to return the favor.

Their latest tag-team, ‘Better Thangs,’ is set to be listed on CiCi’s yet-titled forthcoming effort and follow the singer’s high octane cut, ‘Jump’ (which jumped on to screens earlier this year).

Surprising her faithful fans with an unexpected drop Wednesday (September 28), ‘Thangs’ landed on digital platforms a day early – just enough time to build ample buzz for the release of its supporting music video two days later.

After jumpstarting her 8th official era with the sizzling cut ‘Jump,‘ singer-songwriter Ciara is moving on to better thangs.

The newest taste of what’s set to line the yet-titled project’s tracklist, ‘Better Thangs’ is an “out with the old” anthem that features R&B sensation Summer Walker and sees the two trade verses about leaving a no-good man behind.

“No, it ain’t worth my time, no / Stop calling my line / You ain’t even cross my mind / Now I’m wanting better things,” they croon on the chorus.

Coming as the second time the two have shared studio time (following ‘Ciara’s Prayer’ which is featured on Walker’s Billboard 200-topping sophomore album ‘Still Over It’), hop inside to hear ‘Better.’
