Four reasons why Ciara’s new single Body Party is the song of the day:
1. Ciara co-wrote this with Future. They are dating. I am almost as stoked about their relationship as I was when Beck dated Winona Ryder for a week when I was in high school.
2. Mike Will produced it, making this one of at least five amazing tracks he’s already put out this year (most of the others were on Future’s Freeband Gang: The Movie tape).
3. Body Party samples one of the greatest songs of all time, My Boo by Ghost Town DJ’s, reworking the opening line into the chorus. This song was also used to great effect in the remix of Mariah Carey’s H.A.T.E.U. Cool story: Kanye West visited a store that my sister was working in a few years ago while she was playing My Boo on the stereo. He shouted at her “THIS IS EVERY GIRLS FAVOURITE SONG HUH!” before buying every pair of pants in the store and turning them into a necklace.
4. THIS SONG IS CALLED BODY PARTY! I’M HAVING A BODY PARTY RIGHT NOOOOOOWWWW.
