Ciara recreates 'Goodies' album cover 20 years later
Twenty years ago, Ciara burst onto the music scene with an album that produced hits such as 'Goodies' and '1, 2 Step'...
Ciara is celebrating a huge milestone in her music career. Her debut album, 'Goodies', is turning 20 in 2024.
Ciara co-wrote several songs on the 13-track album, which produced hits such as '1, 2 Step' featuring Missy Elliott, 'And I', and 'Oh' ft. Ludacris.
The project's lead single, which was also called 'Goodies', was released on 8 June 2004. Ciara marked the date by recreating the album's cover art.
"20 Years later. Still CiCi. Happy 20th Anniversary, Goodies!" she wrote.
The 38-year-old remembers the day the single first hit the airwaves like it was yesterday.
"I’ll never forget this day I released my single Goodies. I had tears in my eyes as I was rolling through the drive-through. My dream was really coming true!" she said.
