Jackie is the upcoming sixth studio album by American recording artist Ciara, and was released on May 1, 2015, by Sony Music Entertainment. Ciara's sixth studio album is her first release following the birth of her first child. The album was also preceded by the release of the lead single, a Harmony "H-Money" Samuels and Chris "TEK" O'Ryan production called "I Bet". Written by the singer, Samuels and Timothy and Theron Thomas of the production duo Rock City, the song debuted at number 96 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has peaked at number 43. The album also features Pitbull, Joe Jonas, Missy Elliott and R3hab.

Background

Following her departure from her previous record label, Ciara signed a new deal with Epic Records, and released her self-titled fifth studio album in July 2013. After her engagement to American rapper Future, Ciara revealed to W in April 2014 that her sixth studio album would be predominantly inspired by her then-fiancé.[2] Ciara gave birth to her first child in May 2014. After claims of Future's infidelity during their relationship had surfaced, it was reported that the couple's engagement had been called off.[3] Following their very public break-up, Ciara's album release was further postponed to 2015,[2] and during this time the singer "quietly" recorded new music, while concentrating on motherhood.[4]

Recording

In September 2013, producer Mike WILL Made-It revealed that Ciara had begun work on her sixth studio album.[5] In December 2013, Ciara confirmed she was in the process of making a new album.[6] During an interview with Rap-Up magazine Ciara revealed that recording for her sixth album began around Thanksgiving of 2013 and she would be releasing new music "really soon".[7] In late January 2014, Ciara premiered a live version of a song entitled "Anytime" at the Degree Women Grammys Celebration in Los Angeles. On February 2, 2014, Ciara premiered the studio version produced by Boi-1da and Katalyst featuring her then-boyfriend and rapper Future.[8]

Release and promotion

On January 14, 2015, Ciara announced the title of her album would be "Jackie" via her official Twitter account. Then in March 2015, Ciara announced that she will release Jackie in May 2015 and that she planned on touring the U.S. later in the year.[9][10] The album is titled after her mother, stating, "I can now see the world through her eyes and I know what it’s like to be a mom... I am a mini Jackie and it's that simple."[11][10]

Ciara will embark on the Jackie Tour, her first tour in six years, to promote the album. The first leg of the tour goes from May 3 to May 31, 2015 and will visit 18 cities across the United States.[11][10] Ciara performed "I Bet" on Live! with Kelly and Michael on April 3, 2015 and during the BET Black Girls Rock! special on April 5, 2015.[12][13] She preformed the "I Bet (R3hab remix)" with producer, R3hab, at the Coachella Music Festival on April 18, 2015, as well as the song, "Baby Get Up", which will appear on R3hab's upcoming compilation album.[14] On April 24, 2015, Ciara premiered a video snippet for the album's sixth track, "Fly", on social media site, Instagram; the video was filmed by Taylor Cut Films.[15] She went on to premiere video snippets for the album's other tracks, "Give Me Love" and "One Woman Army (Intro)" in the following days.[15]

Singles

"I Bet" was released as the official lead single from the album on January 26, 2015 in the United States.[16] It officially impacted Rhythmic and Urban contemporary radio in the U.S. the following day.[17] The "I Bet" music video made its television premiere on Extra on March 9, 2015, followed by an immediate release to Vevo and YouTube.[18] On April 24, 2015, Rap-Up magazine reported that "That's How I'm Feelin'", featuring Pitbull and Missy Elliott, would be released as Jackie‍ '​s second single.[15] However, Ciara confirmed three days later on her social media accounts that "Dance Like We're Making Love" would be released as the album's second single; it was then made available as a digital download on April 28, 2015, as a promotional single, along with the pre-order of the album.[19]
