This was released in 2008 as the lead single to a forthcoming album. However, it only ended up being included on the Japanese version of 2009's Fantasy Ride. It stalled at #26 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #78 on the Hot 100, but I actually liked this a lot. The video for the song is also one of her best, IMO.

Undeserved flop and the beginning of her music career unraveling :( This was my jam.

I really liked how this song began, but I almost always lost interest in the whole thing before the 1:30 mark. I never thought that it was completely bad, it took note of the increasing influence of electronic productions at the time. It just needed that little extra kick somewhere in there. Still, I was surprised that it did as badly as it did coming after a campaign with 4 R&B top 10s.
And honestly, ngl, I'd been hoping for a Triple C (Ciara Career Collapse) when I first joined here due to her getting a #1 album over Gwen, and this was the beginning of me getting it. This turned out to be the beginning of her getting snatched, scalped, trashed, and a whole lotta other things for the next several months. Great entertainment.

I loved it a lot at the time. T-Pain's rap was hot.
I wanted her to get a hit out of this one since "High Price" didn't do anything.

Yeah, I love this. Still surprised it completely bombed. Is it essential Ciara? Not at all, but it's super cute and catchy and should have performed better. Lesser artists have taken lesser songs further up the charts.
And I agree, this video is really good.
