Ciara continues to level up the production value of her latest single, ‘Da Girls.’

After watching the sizzling cut’s original solo incarnation earn critical acclaim from her loyal fan base, affectionately called the #CSquad, upon its March 24 release, she spruced the tune up weeks later with a remix featuring Lola Brooke and Lady London.

Now, the GRAMMY winner has tapped songwriter-producer Derrick Milano to decelerate the tempo with an ‘R&B Slow Mix.’

“This for the girls all around the world that don’t need no man but got one / Not to mention she got money, too,” Milano sings on the female empowerment anthem.

Will the third time be the charm and help ‘Da Girls’ crack the Hot 100? Hop inside to listen and tell us.

Big Freedia has unleashed a big collaboration.

The Queen of Bounce has teamed with Ciara for her brand new single ‘$100 Bill.’

A melodic empowerment anthem, the track sees the forces trade verses over production that blends their unique styles.

Speaking on the track, Big Freedia said:

“’$100 Bill’ is about feelin like new money hot off the press! Big money! Feelin fresh and extra fabulous, but mostly about feeling good in your own skin. Owning your walk, your talk, your scent, your ride, anything that makes you feel like your best self.

Ciara and I have been talking about working together for a while, so this track was perfect with her.”

CiCi, who teased a collab of her own with Freedia named ‘Winning’ earlier this year, added:

“The first time I heard this song I thought the melodies were infectious. But also, even before that, Freedia and I have had such an amazing chemistry since we met, we both talked about working together. I asked Freedia to join my song ‘Winning’, and we definitely had winning energy on that record, and I feel like that energy has continued on $100 Bill. The record is melodic, it’s a song for everyone from little kids to the grandmas, it just makes you feel joy.”

Ciara has found a way to make her latest critically acclaimed cut, ‘Better Thangs,’ even better!

The follow-up to her high octane comeback single, ‘Jump,’ the original incarnation of ‘Better’ famously features vocals from her fellow ATL-reared R&B diva Summer Walker.

Garnering some serious thumbs up from the GRAMMY winner’s loyal fans, affectionately called the #CSquad, the mid-tempo bop – just a month after its official release – is getting recharged thanks to rising rapstress GloRilla.

“Thought I’d never leave him, man, I thought it was impossible / Then I had to realize what I tolerate, it’s options / And anything I tell myself is poppin’, what’s poppin’?”

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.’
