Ciara has premiered the lead single from her new album, Digital Spy reported.

'I Bet' forms the first track from the singer's forthcoming new record Jackie.

The track was produced by Harmony Samuels (Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, Ne-Yo) and was co-written with Theron Thomas of Rock City.

"I imagine this song will be very meaningful for a lot of people. It is much bigger than any one person's experience," Ciara told Billboard.

She said of her forthcoming album: "I am truly fulfilled by this experience of making my new music.

"I was able to create everything I have aspired and hoped for as an artist. It is my favourite album I have made thus far in my career, and so excited begin my new journey. It is a new me. A new attitude."

Ciara released her last, self-titled album back in 2013.
