While we wait for Ciara to release her new single, ‘Sorry’, the star has issued another song instead. ‘Livin’ it Up’ is featured on a special Cosmopolitan magazine playlist and will also reportedly appear on Ciara’s upcoming ‘One Woman Army’ album.
Earlier today, Ciara shared the single cover of ‘Sorry’ but since that time, no other information about the song has been revealed to her fans or the media. Perhaps, she is simply trying to build anticipation by remaining mysterious. Yes, let’s be nice and assume that.
Listen to Ciara’s ‘Livin’ it Up’ below:
The sample of used in ‘Livin’ it Up’ is definitely the highlight of the song and it is quite catchy. However, Ciara’s approach to the vocals detracts from the music’s appeal. Honestly, the way she pronounced certain words was actually a bit annoying and she sounded as though she was trying far too hard.
Still, it’s great to hear Ciara pushing her voice without the assistance of auto-tune. Now, all we need is for her to work on expanding her range and her tone so that she won’t sound like a weaker version of D. Woods from Danity Kane.
Honestly…this song is pretty dope. Yes..it’s generic pop, but it’s catchy, and radio friendly. Good for her. Also, this is way better than Mariah’s new one…just saying.
Loving this song, I’m getting used to hearing potential singles without features.. go ciara, and I thought her vocals were quite good on this song, they sound improved to me
I think the song is cute! I dont understand the “Dwoods from Danity kane” comparison but thats Trents opinion.
OMG this poster is a fucking hater.This song is too DOPE!!! like i cnt fault this,this goes too hard!!
i kinda like it
[...] Thanks TLL! [...]
I love this song!!…….and trent im starting to think your just hater because u never give this girl the props she deserves…….pressed much?
Oh geez, x_____x, mmm
Nice song but will it make you rush out and buy the album? I am directing this to people who are not a fan of ciara but once was.
This song is EVERYTHINg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trent will always be a hater of certain artists.. Rihanna anyone?
I only visit this site to listen to new songs, not to read Trent’s thoughts because most of the time he’s just being bitter. But thanks for the new music, and well done Ciara:)
It could be a hit. *shrugs* To me, it sounds very generic, like anybody could be singing it. There’s nothing about it that says it’s “a Ciara song”.
AMAZING SONG (for Ciara!) Shes trying really well this time around from what this sounds
It’s cute. Nothing spectacular but still a decent song.
i be living it up? what? I agree with Trent… the words she used are more for a hood song and not a pop song.
this sounds like a recycled cheetah girls song,its not bad, but its not what she needs right now #CHEETAHGIRL4LYFE
Whoever posted this is by far a definite HATER, get out from under your girlfriend Rihanna and give another talented artist a chance. This song hits hard and is major FIRE!!!
It’s good, she needs some good pop songs. She sounds good here. She’s actually using her voice, and it’s nice. Idon’t get where it’s forced at all. She has drastically improved vocally. Very good job…
This is amazing and trent is such a hater, always trying to find something to say about Ciara. My last time visiting this stupid site, which looks like a beat down version of That Grape Juice
This is much better than the song I heard from her earlier on your site. It has a nice hook that would make people stop and listen however the way she pronounced some of the words grates a bit on the nerves. Seriously can she not sing with her own accent or is it that she’s trying to emphasis too much on certain words either way it did not win musical points to me.
Go ciara
Get’em Ciara! Keep living it up!
So you think she’s tryin too hard..
Lack luster
Great B-side of album filler but Sweat and Overdose were better. If she’s doing album promotion this will go down well to make up a set but not for a first single, or second. Maybe 4th!
go cici
hyyyyyyyyy yes
This will be an great album filler but not as her 1st pop single or even 2nd maybe 3rd.
I’m still waiting on the full and masterd version of overdose. But I like this song also. Forced???? Now, Beyonce and Rihanna are forced! Lacking. And to think …..trent raved about Mariah’s “Triumphant ” single…..hummmmm
I’m not a fan of Ciara but this song is really hottt!!!
Amazing Record , Ciara Really Is Coming Back Strong. Now If Only My Fave Could Be More Organized.
