Background and release

After releasing two under performing albums, Fantasy Ride (2009) and Basic Instinct (2010), Ciara publicly asked to be released from her label Jive. In July 2011, reports circulated that Ciara had reunited with L.A. Reid by signing with his record label Epic Records. [3] Reid had previously signed Ciara to LaFace Records during the beginning of her career and was a factor in the commercial success of her debut album, Goodies (2004). Billboard magazine went on to confirm her move to Epic in September 2011. [4] In February 2012, Ciara revealed that she had begun recording her album. [5] Ciara released three singles from the album: "Sweat" featuring rapper, 2 Chainz, "Sorry" and "Got Me Good", all of which performed poorly on any major charts. The three singles were later scrapped with "Body Party" being released as the album's lead single.

On March 1, 2013, via Twitter, Ciara tweeted, "My Body Is Your Party Baby...Nobody's Invited but U Baby," which was later confirmed to be lyrics from "Body Party". The same day, Ciara released the artwork for the single as well as a 42-second snippet. [6] "Body Party" had its official premiere on March 4, 2013 on Billboard.com. [7] While speaking to Billboard about the song, Ciara said, "Let's just say that this record came out of a very sincere place. I think when things just organically feel right, naturally good things come from it". [7] "Body Party" was released as a digital download on March 12, 2013, as the 1st single from Ciara's fifth studio album, Ciara . [8] On the week of March 18, 2013, "Body Party" was the most added song on urban radio. [9] It impacted rhythmic radio in the United States on April 9, 2013. [10] [11]
