She’s got a hit on her hands. I love that she used dancers of all sizes. Ciara, 20 years, marriage and kids and you are still killing it and making it look easy!
Cynthia Stevens
Yeah remix it and it will be good but this generation will most likely like it just like it is though because it doesn't take much to please n satisy this generation music wise.a person can say the lost their hat over n over on a rap song and but a corny beat behind it n this generation will live it.which is good 4 artist n producers its makes the job easy
Tyler Kochman
I hope she does. But I told myself she had massive hits when the “Gimme Dat” and the “Got Me Good” videos each dropped years ago, yet both got ignored. She rarely gets her credit, and it’s eternally frustrating as a fan to see people miss out on what she’s releasing.
Yezmir Sheppard-Halika
@Tyler Kochman OMG me too. Gimme dat Bass and Got me Good are my fave Ciara songs and they barely got any recognition! I'm glad someone else can see it cause I was like "so no one else hears these dope ass songs and sees these amazing videos" She even paid for the gimmie dat video herself.
Jump failed to chart and the video only has 3 million views, sad to say this won't be a hit either. Earth sucks.
Shawn Hall
Well I love her but this song flopped on the charts
Vonté Variety Channel
The fact that Ciara carried Crunk R&B all these years by herself is wildly amazing. Like she been in her own lane her whole career.
Kaotico99
She is her own level
A superstar
Axle Wavey
Yes I love her music! It’s magic to my ears ❤
