Ciara - I Bet
This one is for the ladies ! Have you ever had an ex that's swears they don't want you, but soon as they see you happy they want you back? Especially when that happiness is coming from another guy?
I know you can relate. CiCi really outdid herself on this one. The lyrics really touched me. Not in a 'I'm giving my life to Christ kind of way' but a 'yasss, hunny let him know ! ' type of way. "I bet you start loving me, soon as you see me with someone else; someone better than you'- Ciara never told a lie .. I loveeeee it!
The video uses beautiful Ballerina themes, from the outfits to the dance moves, to the character Ciara portrays. This is no English class, but I spotted a few subtle metaphors 👀. Ballet is art; a branch of dance that displays vulnerability and strength. At the same damn time. What other way to display the rising of a woman out of her once painful heartbreak.
Pastel pinks, messy hair, a mini jukebox. All these background details scream young to me. This shows themes of reaching back into childhood. Let's not get to deep here but, sometimes for us women to move forward, we have to look backwards. Check our foundations. What did I love before I loved him? Who was I before we became us ?
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the inspiration for this song came from her recently ended relationship with her baby father Future. "I love you but I won't be a fool for you". How many of us are bold enough to say this statement? Sometimes what we love is not good for us. Honestly, I love Ciara for reminding us of this!
Have a look here for yourselves:
Thank you for reading !
Peace & Chunks X
