About And I

"And I" is a song written by American R&B singer Ciara, and produced by Adonis Shropshire for Ciara's first album, Goodies (2004). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on August 30, 2005. The song was originally the third choice for the fourth single. Ciara has mentioned in an interview that "Thug Style", "Hotline" or "Pick up the Phone" would be the fourth single, but when Ciara suggested "And I" to executives at her previous record label LaFace, they were unhappy because they wanted "Next to You" to be the fourth single.

I don't need me a basketball player
All I need is somebody that's down for me
And he don't have to have money
His love is like honey it so sweet to me
He can have anything in this world
But hell sacrifice it all for me
And I made up my mind I'm in love this time
And it feels so real

And I
Know that he won't break my heart
And I
Know that we won't never part
This time
Time for us to settle down
And I
Want to be with him forever

For making him my baby
But that's how its gone be
