I Bet<\/strong><\/a> is the latest single by R&B singer <\/strong>Ciara<\/strong><\/a>. Hitting the charts, we bet you\u2019ve heard “I Bet”<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/em>It\u2019s been a critical and commercial success, after all. But what\u2019s it about? Is it another piece of fluff, or is there a deeper meaning in the song\u2019s lyrics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons critics have loved this song is because of how personal the track is. Ciara was engaged to rapper Future, and Future cheated on her. As you expect, she broke up with him. I bet<\/q> that’s quite an emotional impact for Ciara, especially since they have a child together so naturally, she\u2019s going to pour her heart into her latest single. And it shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song opens up with the notion that Future won\u2019t realize what he had until it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet you start loving me<\/em><\/strong>
As soon as I start loving someone else<\/em><\/strong>
Somebody better than you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s your average notion that people think the grass is always greener on the other song. After the first verse, the gloves come off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciara begins putting personal details about the relationship in the song. She points out that she\u2019s been suspicious of him and gives a few examples of why. So I’m s’posed to believe that it’s Felini\u2019s calling your phone? I’m s’posed to believe that they’re asking’ you if you’re home?<\/q> Felini\u2019s is a pizza place, and him saying he\u2019s getting calls asking if he\u2019s home from a pizza place is a poor lie in of itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciara, near the end of the song, denies that Future is essential for her life. So you bought me a car, he can buy that too. I can take care of myself and I can find someone.<\/q> Being rich, Ciara doesn\u2019t exactly need his money and can find other people to support her as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in the end, she mourns the loss of Future. Right now, it\u2019s killing me\/Cause now I have to find someone else\/When all I wanted was you.<\/q> That\u2019s a bit contradictory, isn\u2019t it? That\u2019s how breakup works. We act like we don\u2019t need the person at first, but then realize that we do. Besides that, Ciara more than likely loved the man and wanted him to be a good father figure for their kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s quite upsetting. But one good thing about being an artist is that you can turn those emotions into art, and Ciara did just that.<\/p>\n\n\n
