Epic Records serviced the single to urban contemporary and rhythmic radio in the United States on October 9, 2012. "Sorry" is a midtemp R&B ballad with production akin to Ciara's previous single, "Promise" (2006). Lyrically, the song speaks on a relationship gone bad, and has been described as an autobiography.Sorry has since been certified gold in 2015. "Sorry" received mixed reviews from music critics, some of whom praised its lyricism and vocals and saw it as Ciara's return to her best sound, while other's criticized it for sounding "watered-down" and felt it didn't live up to the standard set forth by Ciara's past hits. The single was moderately successful, as it managed to chart within the top fifty on the US and UK R&B charts and reached the top ten on the US dance chart, making it her first single to do so. The song's accompanying music video, directed by Christopher Sims, was filmed in Malibu, California and features Ciara demonstrating distance between herself and on-screen lover, model Broderick Hunter, while dancing in solo scenes. Ciara performed the song on BET's ''Black Girls Rock!'' awards and on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' in the United States. On December 3, 2012, Ciara's boyfriend, rapper Future, released an official remix for the song featuring new production, new vocals, and verses. ==Background and release== "Sorry" was written by Ciara, who was credited to her full birth name Ciara Princess Harris, Elvis Williams, and Jasper Cameron,〔http://repertoire.bmi.com/title.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&keyID=14870982&ShowNbr=0&ShowSeqNbr=0&querytype=WorkID〕 and was produced by Harris and Cameron at Royaly Rightings and Universal Music Corporation in Santa Monica, California.〔http://www.rap-up.com/2012/10/25/exclusive-ciara-talks-one-woman-army-nicki-minaj-missy-elliott-touring/〕〔https://www.ascap.com/Home/ace-title-search/index.aspx〕 The three had previously worked together on Ciara's singles, "Promise" (2006) and "Never Ever" (2009).
