"[[Goodies (song)|Goodies]]" became a hit, reaching the top of the United States [[pop music|pop]] charts, and also charting in the [[United Kingdom]] (in January 2005, also reaching number one), [[Australia]], [[Germany]], [[Sweden]], and [[New Zealand]]. With help from Pha, Garrett, and Lil Jon, Ciara released her debut album, ''[[Goodies (album)|Goodies]]'' in September 2004. It entered the [[Billboard 200]] chart at number three, and sold over two milion copies in the United States of America alone. The second single, "[[1, 2 Step]]", featuring [[Missy frelliottElliott]], reached the top ten in the U.S., peaking at number two in early [[2005]]. "[[1, 2 Step]]" was released in the U.K. on [[11 April]] the same year, and reached number three, benefiting from the fact that it was the first week that downloads were incorporated into the singles chart. Ciara charted one place higher than she would have done if downloads had not been included in the chart formula; she would have instead swapped places with [[Elvis Presley]]'s re-issue of "The Wonder of You" at number four.

In May 2005, Ciara's third single, ''[[Oh]]'' featuring [[Ludacris]], reached number two on the [[Hot 100]] and number 4 on the U.K. charts.

In 2005 Ciara released her DVD of music videos with behind the scenes footage of her rehearsals for the [[Soul Train]] Awards.

In the summer of [[2005]] during the success of ''[[Goodies]]'' Ciara was featured on several singles by other hip-hop artists, such as [[Missy frElliottElliott]]'s 'Lose Control' from her album ''The Cookbook'' which peaked at#3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the fall of [[2005]], Ciara was featured singing alongside current love interest, [[Bow Wow]], on the second single from his 2005 album ''Wanted'' entitled ''[[Like You]]''. The duet also reached a peak of #3. In the December of [[2005]] Ciara went on tour with ''[[Gwen Stefani]]'''s "[[Harajuku]] Lovers Tour". Ciara's fourth single, ''[[And I]]'' was released and peaked at #96 which was poor compared to the first three singles. The song most likely performed poorly because she was featured on an already successful single at the time ''[[Like You]]'' with [[Bow Wow]] and many radio stations did not want to play that song along with ''[[And I]]''.
