Fans immediately noticed that the afrobeats-tinged song sounded very much like Tiwa Savage's 2015 song, "Before Nko" featuring D'Prince. In response, Ciara quickly took to Twitter to clarify Tiwa Savage's involvement on the track.
"Shoutout to Tiwa Savage in the inspiration and sample used in #FreakMe!" she wrote. "She's a beast! I fell in love with the melody when I first heard it in Africa 3 years ago."Ciara didn’t miss the opportunity to shoot a music video in Soweto. The video was styled by local stars including Trevor Stuurman and Rich Mnisi. Watch the video below.
