Tetris Kelly:
And do we got any other collabs on it?

Ciara:
We do.

Tetris Kelly:
Any tease?

Ciara:
Just know there’s more Atlanta in this thing. … There’s some more Atlanta, some more ATL.

Tetris Kelly:
Ooh, ATL! We’re doing it! We’re doing it! I hope it’s Luda.

Ciara:
What’s up, guys! It’s Ciara here, and right now, you’re watching Billboard News.

Tetris Kelly:
Hey, this is Tetris with Billboard News, and Georgia is in the building, Ciara! What’s up? How are you doing?

Ciara:
Amazing, happy to be here.

Tetris Kelly:
Thank you for coming. We got to talk about this — it kind of blew my mind. Next year is going to be 20 years since your debut album Goodies came out? How are you feeling? Like, what’s your evolution? And how do you feel 20 years later?

Ciara:
Oh my gosh, I feel blessed. I feel like I’m just getting started at the same time. To know that it was 20 years ago that I was this little really, really ambitious, dreaming big. I envisioned that I’d be sitting somewhere like this 20 years later.

Tetris Kelly:
And talking about dreaming big: I mean, you started so strong. Did you know at that moment … I remember obviously being in Atlanta at the time and just like, “Goodies” and “1, 2 Step” being such massive songs that you can play at weddings and whatever, everybody’s gonna know the words. Did you feel that at the moment?
