The song's accompanying music video, directed by Benny Boom, featured guest appearances from BoneCrusher, Monica, Rasheeda, Jazze Pha, Young Jeezy and Lil Jon. The song gave her the title as the 'First Lady or Princess of Crunk&B.' It also topped the charts in the United Kingdom and reached the top ten in many other international markets. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks, becoming the longest-running number one debut single by a female artist on the chart since 1977. The single was well received by critics, who praised its whistling crunk beat and Ciara's breathy vocals. The song's protagonist rejects men's sexual advances, proclaiming that they will never get her ' goodies' because ' they stay in the jar.' The song was recorded as an answer song to Petey Pablo's hit single 'Freak-a-Leek.' The song was written by Ciara herself, Sean Garrett, LeMarquis Jefferson, and Craig Love with the production done by Lil Jon. The song was released as the lead single from her debut album ' Goodies' on 10 February 2004 through LaFace Records.

Since 2020, she's hosted Level Up Radio on Apple Music Hits.Goodies is a song by Ciara featured rapper Petey Pablo. Each song feels like a revolutionised take on the unique sonic mashup that Ciara helped launch, and plays like an ode to her continued growth. Instead of sticking to a script, she’s dabbled freely in varied sounds, incorporating Tiwa Savage-inspired Afrobeats in “Freak Me” and dynamic footwork-style production into “Level Up”, both singles from 2019’s Beauty Marks. In 2013, she continued in that vein with “Body Party”, a lavish Future-assisted love song that connected past to present by interpolating Ghost Town DJs’ “My Boo”. With her second album, 2006’s Ciara: The Evolution, she used that gift to explore her sensuality through ballads like the Prince-inspired “Promise”. As seen throughout her career, it’s as if Ciara can flip a switch between vivacious and velvety vocals. Meanwhile, her collaborations cemented her status as a go-to for all things vibrant-she even manages to up the electricity on a Missy Elliott single, “Lose Control”, with her swaggering half-rapped, half-sung cameo. The subsequent Goodies album, and coolly booming songs like “One, Two Step” saw Ciara pushing the smooth sounds shaped by superstars like Usher to new energetic heights.

The tastemaking producer laced her 2004 debut single, “Goodies,” with elastic 808s and sparse, synthesised instrumentation, but it was the singer’s hushed coo and reedy falsetto that rang out. Ciara Princess Harris, born in 1985 in Austin, Texas, was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and given her nickname by none other than local Dirty South deity Lil Jon.

With a style that perfectly bridges hip-hop's boisterous side to R&B's organic fluidity, Ciara instantly became, and remains, the First Lady of Crunk&B.
