In fact, the song is an apparent response to 'Freek-a-Leek,' employing a near-identical beat and the services of that song's rapper, Petey Pablo. 'Goodies' is fairly similar to these songs, except that it's sung by a young girl.
The title track is far and away the highlight here, one of seemingly countless Lil Jon songs to become hits in summer 2004 (others including Usher's 'Yeah!,' Trillville's 'Neva Eva,' Lil Scrappy's 'No Problem,' Pitbull's 'Culo,' and Petey Pablo's 'Freek-a-Leek'). Thanks to a few productions by hitmakers Lil Jon and Jazze Pha, there are indeed some Goodies to be found on Ciara's debut album, even if the young dance-pop singer does little to distinguish herself from the legion of fellow young dance-pop singers filling the urban American airwaves.
