Ciara has released her new single ‘Ecstasy’. The track has already become one of the most anticipated R&B releases of the year, showcasing the singer’s distinctive vocal style.

The 39-year-old singer released the R+B track earlier on Friday (04.04.25), and accompanied it with a sensual black-and-white music video. The artistic visual perfectly complements the sultry tone of the song, highlighting Ciara’s signature dance moves.


“It’s finally here! ‘Ecstasy’ is out now!” Taking to Instagram, Ciara posted a snippet of the music video and added the caption. “Making this happen was not an easy feat. Between running multiple businesses, being a mom, a wife, and an artist, I had less than two days to rehearse and capture everything. But WE made it happen!” Her candid behind-the-scenes revelations gave fans insight into her demanding schedule.

The ‘Goodies’ chart-topper described the track and the music video as a “true labor of love”, and thanked her team, family and fans for their support. Her gratitude reflects the collaborative nature of the project despite the tight timeline.


“This video and project is a true labor of love! As a woman, sometimes I feel like I’m always pouring out … But doing like things like this… pours back into me! And honestly… us ladies need that!” She added. “It’s a must that we make sure we do the things that fill our cup. If I must say, I would not be here without the collective effort of my family, my team, and everyone who works in alignment with me to execute my vision and YOU … My fans! This song means so much to me, and I hope you love what we made together.” Her message resonated with many female fans who praised her authenticity.

Ecstasy‘ – which was released through Ciara’s own label Beauty Marks Entertainment – was written by the singer alongside Courtlin Jabrae, and Theron Thomas, while Leather Jacket and Tommy ‘TBHits’ Brown produced. The production team brought together experienced industry veterans and fresh talent to create the track’s distinctive sound.

Ciara described the new track as “baby-making music” and shared her excitement for her fans to hear the new material. The description signals a return to the sensual R&B style that helped establish her career.

“On every album, having the ultimate slow R+B record is always a must for me,” she said in a statement. “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 CiCi Way!” Her enthusiasm for the release was evident in promotional interviews leading up to the launch.

While Ciara has not announced a new studio album yet, the singer – whose last LP was 2019’s ‘Beauty Marks’ – teased ‘Ecstasy’ may be an early look into a future record. Fans have speculated online about the direction of her next full-length project.

“I’m always trying to find a way to keep things fresh and make sure I’m always looking ahead and – most importantly – have fun,” she explained to Bustle. “I think the fun is what’s carried me and sustained me.” This creative philosophy has been consistent throughout her career spanning over two decades.

Beyond her music career, Ciara has successfully ventured into various business enterprises, including fashion, beauty, and production. Her entrepreneurial spirit has allowed her to expand her brand beyond music.

The release of ‘Ecstasy’ comes at a time when R&B music is experiencing a creative renaissance, with artists exploring both nostalgic and forward-thinking sounds. Music critics have noted the track’s blend of classic R&B elements with contemporary production techniques.

As a mother of three and wife to NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, Ciara continues to balance her personal life with her professional ambitions. This balance is reflected in her music, which often draws from personal experiences.

Fans can stream ‘Ecstasy’ on all major platforms now, with the music video available on Ciara’s official YouTube channel. The track represents her first solo release of 2025 and has already generated significant buzz within the R&B community.

The song arrives just as Ciara prepares for several summer festival appearances, where she’s expected to perform the new single alongside hits from throughout her career. Her live performances have always been a highlight for fans, known for their choreography and energy.
