"Goodies" is the debut single performed by American recording artist Ciara featuring American rapper and label-mate Petey Pablo for her debut studio album of the same name. The song was released as the album's lead single on June 8, 2004 through LaFace Records. It was written by Ciara herself, Sean Garrett, LeMarquis Jefferson, and Craig Love, with production done by Lil Jon. The song was recorded as an answer song to the featured act's hit single, "Freak-a-Leek." Its lyrics reference virginity. The song's protagonist rejects men's sexual advances, proclaiming that they will never get her "goodies" because "they stay in the jar."

The single was well received by critics, who praised its whistling crunk beat and Ciara's breathy vocals. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks, becoming the longest-running number one debut single by a female artist on the chart since 1977. It also topped the charts in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Germany, New Zealand and Switzerland. The song gave Ciara the title as the "First Lady or Princess of Crunk&B."

The song's accompanying music video, directed by Benny Boom, featured guest appearances from BoneCrusher, Monica, Rasheeda, Jazze Pha, Young Jeezy, Lil Jon. The video depicts Ciara dancing in front of a blue and white background with her backup dancers. This scene is where Ciara first does the "Matrix," which later became her signature move. The song was performed on BET's 106 & Park and at the 2005 Billboard Music Awards along with "1, 2 Step" and "Oh".
