context_page_description: "Goodies" is the debut single by American singer Ciara featuring American rapper and Jive Records recording artist Petey Pablo for her debut studio album of the same name. The song was released as the album's lead single on June 8, 2004 through LaFace Records. It was written by Ciara, Sean Garrett, LeMarquis Jefferson, and Craig Love, and Lil Jon the song's producer. The song was recorded as an answer song to the featured act's hit single, "Freek-a-Leek." The song's protagonist rejects men's sexual advances, proclaiming that they will never get her "goodies" because "they stay in the jar."
  The single was well-received by critics, who praised its whistling crunk beat and Ciara's breathy vocals. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks, becoming the longest-running number one debut single by a female artist on the chart since 1977. Outside the United States, "Goodies" topped the charts in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Germany, New Zealand and Switzerland. The song gave Ciara the title as the "First Lady or Princess of Crunk&B."
context_section_description: Riverdale, Georgia in 2003, she was signed by LaFace Records executive, L.A. Reid, whom she was introduced to by Jazze Pha. She began production on her debut album later that year. In early 2004, Ciara wrote a demo with record producer, Sean Garrett, co-writer of Usher's crunk hit "Yeah!" After hearing a demo, crunk producer Lil Jon, who also produced and was featured on "Yeah!", began to work on the full record, to have it released on LaFace, which was also Usher's label. Originally, Ciara was reluctant to work with the track produced by Lil Jon, reportedly disliking crunk music at first.
  However, she decided to use the song to go against the grain and deliver lyrics in contrast of female promiscuity lines delivered by fellow female artists. To give her a title to stand out, Lil Jon dubbed Ciara as the "Princess of Crunk&B." Dubbed the female counterpart to "Yeah!" and fellow crunk hit "Freek-a-Leek" by Petey Pablo, Laface looked to capitalize on the success of the previous songs.
