"Sorry," the first music video from One Woman Army, generated an incredible response when it was released in September. The video for the song went to #1 on BET's flagship show 106(th) & Park and has remained on the countdown for a remarkable six consecutive weeks, holding the #1 position eight times. The "Sorry" music video has accrued over 7.5 million views on YouTube, and the press are raving. It's a "really dope video," Complex said, while MTV commented that Ciara brings it with "the perfect blend of sexy and apologetic" and Pop Crush claims "Ciara is back in a big way..."

On Nov. 4(th), BET will broadcast Black Girls Rock, which features Ciara performing "Sorry" in addition to her #1 hit "1, 2 Step." Ciara, noted for both her beauty and her style, fired up the fashionista blogosphere when she showed up on the Red Carpet at the event dressed by Givenchy.

As a singer/songwriter, Ciara's career has already hit stunning heights. She's had eight top ten singles on Billboard's Hot 100 and has sold over seven million albums worldwide, including more than 4.3 million albums and nearly 7 million digital singles in the United States alone. Ciara's won a GRAMMY Award, three BET Awards, three MTV Awards, and was previously named Billboard's Woman of the Year.

One Woman Army is Ciara's fifth album and her first for Epic, where she reunited with her mentor, Epic Chairman L.A. Reid. It's a powerfully honest record, and Ciara's most ambitious to date. "'It represents my strength, it represents where I stand with love," Ciara says. "It represents what I want out of life."
