"I Bet" is a song by American singer Ciara from her sixth studio album, ''Jackie'' (2015). Released as the lead single from the album by Epic Records on January 26, 2015, "I Bet" serves as Ciara's first single following the birth of her first child and widely publicized break-up with American rapper Future. The song was written by the singer, Harmony "H-Money" Samuels and Timothy and Theron Thomas of the production duo Rock City. It was produced by Samuels, and Chris "TEK" O'Ryan was responsible for its vocal production. Developed as a "raw" and emotional track originating from a personal place in Ciara's life, "I Bet" was intended to resonate as "much bigger than any one person's experience". A slow-tempo, somber R&B ballad—with sparse, throwback 1990s-style R&B production—"I Bet" shifts from the sound of the singer's later discography to recall her earlier works, "And I" (2005) and "Promise" (2006). The track's lyrical content deal with subjects of betrayal, trust issues and infidelity in a romantic relationship. "I Bet" garnered favorable reviews from music critics who deemed it a strong comeback for the singer, and commended her vocal range, as well its rare and honest showcase of her private life. Described as a realest, scathing breakup song, a variety of publications opined that the ballad was written about Ciara's break-up with Future as a diss track, and noted that it was the first time the singer weighed in on their split. Upon its release the song debuted at number 96 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and peaked at number 43. Three official remixes have been released - one featuring T.I., another featuring Joe Jonas and a progressive house remix by Dutch DJ R3hab with additional vocals added for R3hab's remix.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ciara - I Bet (R3hab Remix) )〕 ==Background== Following the release of her self-titled fifth studio album in July 2013 and her engagement to American rapper Future, Ciara revealed to ''W'' in April 2014 that her sixth studio album would be predominantly inspired by her then-fiancé. Named after the rapper, the singer gave birth to her first child, Future Zahir Wilburn on May 19, 2014. After claims of Future's infidelity during their relationship had surfaced, it was reported that the couple's engagement had been called off. Following their very public break-up, Ciara's album release was further postponed to 2015,〔 and during this time the singer "quietly" recorded new music, while concentrating on motherhood. "I Bet" was co-written by Ciara, Harmony "H-Money" Samuels, and Timothy and Theron Thomas of Rock City. Samuels produced the track with Chris "TEK" O'Ryan handling its vocal production. "I Bet" was engineered by O'Ryan with the assistance of Carlos King, Ryan Kaul and Maddox Chim. While Jaycen Joshua and Dave Kutch were responsible for its mixing and mastering respectively. Developed as a "raw" and emotional track which originates from a personal place in Ciara's life, she wrote the song with the intention to resonate with her listeners as "much bigger than any one person's experience". Ciara felt that the experience of recording the track "truly fulfilled her" at the time, and saw "I Bet" as a manifestation of a renewed artist with a renewed attitude.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Bet (Ciara song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
