Ciara has officially announced her new studio album ‘CiCi’ — her first full length effort since 2020’s ‘Beauty Marks’ — will drop on July 11.
Ciara shares of the new project: “CiCi— yeah, that’s me! This album right here is my love letter. A celebration of the journey—and more importantly, a thank you to you, my Day 1s and Day 21s. You’ve stuck by me through every era, every evolution, and every independent leap of faith. Let’s be real—being independent isn’t for the faint of heart, but y’all? Y’all gave me the courage to keep pushing, to keep dreaming, and to keep dancing like nobody’s watching (even though millions of you are, lol).
Truth is, this season of life has been about forging my own path and tapping deeper into my inner drive. No label, no limits—just full-on freedom and faith. It’s been a journey of unlearning, rebuilding, and reclaiming what success looks like on my own terms. Grown, seasoned, still got the moves—and somehow just getting started. This project took 5 years to build, and every beat, every lyric, every moment was made with intention—to lift you, to move you, to make you feel something. Whether it’s a two-step in your kitchen or a soul-stirring scream-sing in the car—I just want to give you all the good feels. And when you see the 3D-printed breastplate? That’s not just a fashion statement. That’s my armor. A symbol of the strength I’ve had to summon, the boundaries I’ve had to set, and the power I’ve learned to wear with pride.
So mark the date: CiCi. 7/11. Save it. Pre-save it. Tell a friend to tell a friend. Because the CICI era is here, and we’re just getting started. I love y’all endlessly. With all my heart, CiCi”
Ciara previously released the video for her new single ‘Ecstasy’, produced by Leather Jacket and Tommy “TBHITS” Brown and written by Ciara, Courtlin Jabrae, and Grammy award-winner Theron Thomas. At the time, Ciara posted on Instagram: “On every album having the ultimate slow R&B record is always a must for me!” Ciara says about the record. “We call it baby making music where I’m from! I can’t wait for the world to see the video and experience Ecstasy with me! The CI CI Way!”
“Ecstasy” is Ciara’s first single of 2025, which follows her previously-released singles from 2024: “Run It Up” with BossMan Dlow, and “Wassup” featuring Busta Rhymes, as well as “How We Roll” with Chris Brown and “Better Thangs” with Summer Walker.
