Yesterday afternoon we shared Ciara’s new song “I Bet,” so after you let it rock for a little while in your playlist, now I want to go over the lyrics!
If you’ll recall, CiCi was relatively quiet on the music front for the last couple of years, since after the success of her 2013 hit “Body Party,” she soon got pregnant with her son with Future and took time off to be a mommy. Now that the relationship with Baby Future’s dad has long since fizzled and she’s had plenty of QT with her little one, the fierce mama is ready to get back to work, and she’s sparing NO feelings on her comeback track!

So you bought me a car? He can buy that too
I can take care of myself and I can find someone to do it too
You looking like you upgraded me, I upgraded you
You and me in Fashion Week in Paris, I put you on to that new
But you took advantage, I can not understand it
I thought you’d always be there for me
If you asked me, if I knew better now, ‘hell yeah’
So keep that b*tch over there, giving me the ugly stare
the one with the silicone ass and the Brazilian hair
Woo! Ciara is letting this man know that not only did she put him on to a whole new world, but that the only chicks he was creeping with ain’t got ish on her. You tell ’em boo! She does add at the end, however: “I hate that I’m singing this song because I love you!” and that feeling is ALL to relatable, right girls? Ugh! Oh well, we pick up the pieces and move on, and take it as a lesson learned.
Listen to the song again HERE if you missed it.
