Before diving into the new album, Ciara and Greg looked back on hearing "Goodies" for the first time on her hometown station in Atlanta, V-103. "It's crazy because that's one of the big parts of your dream that you look forward to," she explains. "For me radio meant a lot, especially then, radio was like the main force, the main place that you heard music come from. So to have that same experience but from flipping the role, now I'm an artist playing on the radio and there's someone else hearing my song. For me to hear myself on the radio is like, oh my gosh, like, 'Daddy, I made it!'"

Now a fixture on the airwaves for over 20 years, Ciara is still bringing it on her new album, CiCi. Hear more about her journey, her favorite formative moments, her foundation, and family during the full conversation with Greg Street above.
