Ciara is back with a new song called “Rooted.” The track features Ester Dean and was produced by Hudson Mohawke and Stargate. Check out the accompanying music video—conceptualized by Ciara and directed by Annie Bercy—below.
“I am blessed to be able to carry seeds of new life into this world,” Ciara, who filmed the “Rooted” video while pregnant, said in a press release. “The foundation of love for my family and the pride for my culture has made me feel rooted in my life, and nothing can knock me down. I am also reminded through my trials and triumphs, everything I need to survive and thrive is rooted in me. Gender nor color of your skin can limit how far you will go in life.”
The new song follows Ciara’s 2019 album Beauty Marks, as well as her single “Melanin,” featuring Lupita Nyong’o, La La Anthony and City Girls.
