Ciara hits back at her critics with new leak “I’m Up In The Bank”
It’d be the understatement of the century to say that Ciara’s been given a hard time by the blogs and the media since her third album Fantasy Ride tanked last year, but instead of hiding from the criticism Ciara is addressing it head on with a brand new leaked track “I’m Up In The Bank” featuring The-Dream.
“Ya need to stop actin’ all funny and stop thinkin’ about me and think about your money” spits Ciara over The-Dream & Tricky production, which is most probably still unfinished and in demo form.
“See I tried to be humble / But they be hatin’ on the pie / Hatin’ on the fly / Hatin’ on I / And they don’t even know why / What cha doin’ looks so lame / Writin’ on the blogs / I’m in the bank / And who really care about what the hell you think?”
The song returns Ciara to her urban roots, whilst showing that she’s back with a new attitude, confidence and sound. Ciara knows that this fourth album is make or break for her and she’s definitely not taking any chances. Also expect production from Darkchild and Bangladesh when the albums hits stores later this year.

WACK! Christina Milian would have MURKED this beat!
I’m feelin’ this. It sounds like it could’ve fit on her first album, which I guess is kinda what she is going for. I love the “I’m up in the bank” hook. Sooo catchy. LOVE it.
I can dig it! The beat is very cheap, but I love the melody of the singin’ parts! Hopefully she gives some OFFICIAL fire cause she on a Usher downspiral.
this is a demo btw…..
I guess.
She’s such a bamma.
ALRIGHT Ciara
Shut them the FUCK up
It’s most probably still in demo form tho, i dont think its finished yet.
NEXT!!!!
THIS SHIT IS HOT! I cant wait for this new album. I actually thought Fantasy Ride was kinda hot it just wasnt handled correctly. This new album should be crazy from the sound of this
love it ! is she the black BS ?
“Whatever you made on your job last year ; multiply that by 10 and imma spend that tomorrow”
CICI is BACK!
WHATTTTTTT?!?!?!?
Go Ci-Ci!
I’m definitely looking forward to the new album now!
I love it! It reminds me of 50 “I GET MONEY”…It sounds unfinished! I love her swagger though on this as well, like she really took it back! Even the hairstyle she had at the Vegas show last night hasn’t been seen since Goodies!
This is sooooo dope.
I see she already ruffles a few haters feathers.
Oh and for the idiots this is a DEMO.
FIYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2010 Ciara!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah this definitely sounds like a rough version of the song, but I’m really feeling it…I love the swagger/arrogance she has in this song…I agree with @Dsabadmofo cuz this def sound like it could of been from her 1st album (then again, that is the vibe they are going for with her new album)
and @Dante , I loved Fantasy Ride and still listen to that album from beginning to end…I think single choices was what killed that album
this bank is so infectious…they need to make this a buzz single once they finish it up, and then make a hood, gritty video, but still glossy
**beat** not bank
Yessssss, Ciara!!!!
LET
I know it’s a demo, but it sucks. It’s repetitive, and annoying. I KNOW she can come harder than this.
Come on now Ciara.
CIARA WENT IN ON ALL THE HATERS *DIDDYS VOICE* TAKE THAT TAKE THAT TAKE THAT
Yesssss, Ciara!!!
LET the monkeys KNOW that you eat, sleep, and shit in the bank while they SUFFER in Teh Slums!!!
Demo or not…Ciara is killing it! I hope her 4th album delivers; Fantasy Ride wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either
WACK! ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!!!
My Radio Killa Fam always fuckin killed it!! Cici killed the end with “Nanannananana!!!” GeT EM CICI!!!!!! DALE CHICA!! UNA AMA PUTA!!!!
imma imma bee imma imma bee.. yeah idk i’m not feel it.. y is she trying so hard. not even madonna or britney are showing off their money and she’s on the d-list right now so idk y she’s showing off what she doesnt have or once had..
This song sounds like it was a left over track on the “Goodies” album
what makes you think this is on the album? you know what they say about “assuming”
*Attention*…this was a demo. This will NOT be on Ciara’s new album. I can’t say much but just know that this is unfinished. Thanx
It will not appear on her album.
Lol Look at all the Ciara “Haters”!! but yet in here to listen and comment… Smh… btw Get Em CI Ci
WHY DEY HATING ON MY BABY PIE CUZ THEY MADE THEY WIFE PIE AINT GOOD
YES CIARA 2010-2040 IS YOURS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAD
lol, @ the haters finding everything negative to say. You have no idea what’s in her bank account. Just because you want so bad for her to fall off she is making money doing other things besides making music. Stop acting like that’s the only way to survive in the game. She shut it down period and the haters are mad because they want her to fail so bad.
YASSSSS, Ciara. Get these bitches upset. Lmfao. Y’all already mad. Get em’ CiCi
I like it.
Is there a link for this so I can download it?
SHE’S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!
ya ima ciara hater. to me shes a hot mess
first of yall to the hatin bitches this is a UNFINISHED demo this is just very mini snippet of whats to come TRUST!!!
SO GO AHEAD TALK SHIT AND KEEP HATIN
CIARA COMIN FOR YOU BITCHES WAIT TILL THE ALBUM DROP
yessss my boo slayed werk cici haters beware ciara is finna kill it =)
She needs to be “In The Studio” recording MORE tracks because this is G.A.R.B.A.G.E honey.
I love how her stans are going insane over a demo and talking so much shit. A poorly done and horribly rough demo at that.
TBH I think Ciara should just hang it up. She’s obviously not gonna sell anymore albums. Maybe she should stick to modeling like Cassie.
boring. you gotta come harder girl. this ain’t gonna get you nowhere.
still rooting for you. maybe you should call redone.
Ewwww, I like Ciara but I’m really not feelin this at all!
O M F G YES CIARA
This is a demo, but it sounds like it will be hot!
I;m sorry but i cant take Ciara seriously… AT ALL!!!! lol i’m sorry
i’m glad she’s addressed the stupid haterz who leaked her music and chatted sh*t on the blogs about Fantasy Ride. that was a hot record. if it was released by britney or rihanna people would be lapping it up. Anywayz i’m glad she’s corrected a few people and stood up for herself with this song. however it won’t do her no justic as a single and personally i wouldnt bother including it on her album. i hope her fourth album is more like “promise” and “goodies” which are coincidently her best songs.
AMAZING
im rooting for her, cuz there was a time i stanned for her but she fell off.she needs to stay crunk n b princess or whateva, the pop wasnt really working
I like it.
Its different, and the final version probably will go haaard.
CIARA 2010!
well i’ll be dang i hop up on here and see 50+ comments on my girl Ciara…not all positive, but majority rules lol love ya Ci, but this def is unfinished and hopefully it will be a buzz track…
All u stans are going crazy with this. seriously i like ciara a lot! She’s talented and shes greeatt! I like her more than Kelis, Keri Hilson, Beyonce, the list goes on but seriously where were u guys when the album dropped last year? it flopped… u guys didnt buy it?
I love it!
Yes its a demo, but this they probably leaked it to show everyone what sound/attitude she is going for this album.
This sounds like it could be hot whenever it’s finalized. I’m feeling it already.
im feelin it but it def needs some work
@chris
I got the album and I still listen to it
and a lot of you say shes a flop and irrelevant, but theres already 60 comments
um comments does not equal album sales.lol.
@mary
Album sales dont always equal quality either
Cerror won’t rule SHIT in 2010 so yall can get that out cha heads. Rihanna, Beyonce, Brittany, Christina, Katy and so many more Artist are all releasing new music this summer. I wouldn’t mind another “Promise” or “My Love” but she betta do it right now or a lot later because she’l be blown completely out of the water by the competition. Leaving Uncle CiCi with another flop on her hands sad to say..
uncle cici. lol awh that’s mean.
no, but honestly i don’t think there’s ever gonna be a time where no big artist is coming out. I also think all the spots are kinda filled right now – it’s female artist overload and they all are going HARDER than ever.
Britney, Beyonce, Rihanna, Fergie (BEP), Lady Gaga & P!nk got their spots on lock right now.
Then there’s the lesser but still “fresh” artists like Ke$ha & Katy Perry.
Then there’s the big names that are trying to come back that haven’t fallen off the face of the earth though either, Christina Aguilera & Avril Lavigne.
Then FINALLY there’s the old flops like Jlo, Jessica Simpson & Ciara.
i’m rooting for her though. i seriously am.
hey prophet, when she releases her new album, are u gonna post your picture again? please, say yes i wanna see u again, pleaseee
@ stan thanks for stating the obvious…lols. thats true with alot of artists now, specifically the creole queen!haha
Yes, Ciara has SO many haters. Some of the random rumors that came after FR dropped, were made by her old management, after she dropped them. They were out to tarnish her image.
Unfortunately this song probably WON’T be on the album since it leaked, but i’m definitely liking it. i hope it’s at least a buzz single.
@Chris, unfortunately she a lot of “flip flop” fans as well. they all turned on her after she supposedly went “pop” with her sound. Now they are all coming back at hyping her up.
This is 4 the haterzz
youu mad son?
Lamez need to fall the fuck back
Ciara up in the bank
get your money up !
oops i meant..
she HAS*
AND hyping her up*
can’t even lie, I’m Loving this !! *turns it up*
Um why do diss records always got to be about “having more money” than somebody else? Cheap shit….You can def tell when something is produced by the dream
Loving this joint. The beat goes hard and Ciara obviously kills with the lyrics.
Killa!
transcending, innovative, different, current, intriguing, just damn…
