Ciara is honoring her decade-long marriage to Russell Wilson with new music. The Grammy-winning singer has released “Yes” via her label Beauty Marks Entertainment.
Co-written alongside Courtlin Jabrae, Rachel West and Thom Bridges, “‘Yes’ is all about choosing to live through love with someone special. “You don’t do no rushin’, you take it slow / Never run out of love, it’s all I want,” she sings in the second verse.
“’YES’ is a fun, flirty, feel-good anthem of commitment and choosing love every single day,” says Ciara. “When you find the right person, saying yes isn’t just one moment, it’s something you continue to choose through every season of life. Releasing this song on our anniversary is a declaration that I would say yes again and again.”
Ciara and Russell announced their engagement in March 2016 before getting married July 6 of the same year. On Monday (July 6), Ciara took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message to Russell in honor of their 10-year anniversary.
“Since the first day we met…we haven’t stopped laughing, dancing, dating, holding hands, being passionate, praying, forgiving, and having the best time of our lives,” Ciara wrote. “I remember saying Yes like it was yesterday, and I would say Yes all over again! Happy 10 Year Anniversary @DangeRussWilson. I’m so proud of us. I love you soooo much!”
“Yes” is Ciara’s first musical release since releasing “Nice n’ Sweet” with MOLIY in November 2025. The flirtatious Afropop-tinged bop arrived three months after dropping herCiCi (Deluxe)album.
