Ciara Better Thangs

Two queens of R&B joined forces this week for an uplifting banger dedicated to fresh starts.

Ciara and Summer Walker teamed up this week for their new single, “Better Thangs.” The latest collaboration is a dedication to closing out chapters and starting new ones. “Better Thangs” boasts production from Kevo, Deli Banger, Precision Productions, and Theron Thomas. The energetic production meets Ciara and Summer Walker’s emotionally-striking melodies for a certified hit.

“Better Thangs” serve as Ciara’s second release of the year, following the Coast Contra-assisted, “JUMP.” The surge in releases is a strong sign that her follow-up to 2019’s Beauty Marks is on pace to drop soon.

Summer Walker is still riding high off of 2021’s Still Over It. However, she’s locked in some amazing features in the past few months. She joined The Weeknd on “Best Friends (Remix)” before teaming up with Ari Lennox on “Queen Space.” She also appeared alongside Kendrick Lamar and Ghostface Killah on “Purple Hearts.”

Lyrics

[Intro: Ciara]
Uh

[Verse 1: Ciara]
Lately, I been livin’ my life
I don’t pay the hate no mind
Doin’ better things with my time, yeah
Elevated to a new height (Height)
Never do the same thing twice (Twice)
Puttin’ all the lames on ice, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Ciara]
I been sippin’ on this drink, I ain’t got no complaints
Cici in her own lane, eventually they come around
You can say I’m livin’ the dream, only winners on my team (Oh)
You ain’t gotta check up on me, I got everything I need (Ah)

[Chorus: Ciara]
Better things, better things, all new everything
Better things, better things (Yeah)
Better things, better things
Ain’t got time for petty things, I’m on better things, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Ciara]
No, it ain’t worth my time, no, stop calling my line
You ain’t even cross my mind, now I’m on to better things
No, it ain’t worth my time, no, stop calling my line
You ain’t even cross my mind, now I’m on to better things

[Verse 2: Summer Walker]
I got grace, put a nigga right in his place
Ain’t got nothin’ else to say
‘Cause I know karma comes around
So I pray, never waste mental space
Or my energy on the things I can’t control
Like, yeah now, yeah now, yeah now
Never let my problem weigh down
And I got love from all directions
Turn away from all bad presence
Out of sight, out of mind, you won’t ever ruin my vibe (Vibe)
I keep raisin’ my price, immune to the evil eye
On better things

[Chorus: Ciara, Summer Walker, Both]
Better things, better things, all new everything (Better, better, better things)
Better things, better things (Yeah)
Better things, better things
Ain’t got time for petty things, I’m on better things, yeah (Oh)

[Verse 3: Ciara, Summer Walker, Both]
When you level up, they don’t like that
See a fake friend, what I call that
Say they still love you but it’s all cap
Don’t even trip, I just fall back
I been busy lovin’ me
Protectin’ all my energy
I don’t need your company
All I need is loyalty

[Pre-Chorus: Ciara]
I been sippin’ on this drink, I ain’t got no complaints
Cici in her own lane, eventually they come around
You can say I’m livin’ the dream, only winners on my team (Oh)
You ain’t gotta check up on me, I got everything I need (Ah)
On better things

[Chorus: Ciara, Summer Walker, Both]
Better things, better things, all new everything
Better things, better things (Yeah; Everything new, now baby)
Better things, better things
Ain’t got time for petty things, I’m on better things, yeah (Oh)
Better things, better things, all new everything
Better things, better things (Yeah; Everything, yeah)
Better things, better things
Ain’t got time for petty things, I’m on better things, yeah (Oh-oh; Oh whoa)

[Outro]
Better things, better things, all new everything
Better things, better things
Better things, better things
Ain’t got time for petty things, I’m on better things, yeah
