On her fifth album, Ciara contributed to both the writing and production of the album's songs.[14] She wrote "Sweat" (featuring 2 Chainz),[15] a song that was originally supposed to be the album's first single when the album was called One Woman Army.[16] Ciara also co-wrote and co-produced "Sorry",[17] the song that was chosen to supersede "Sweat" as one of One Woman Army's two lead singles,[18] along with "Got Me Good", also written by Ciara.[19] None of these records made the final album.[20] "Sorry" was co-written and co-produced by Jasper Cameron, who previously worked with Ciara on her 2006 single "Promise" and 2009 single "Never Ever". Together the duo wrote and produced "Super Turnt Up" which did make the final listing for Ciara.[17] "Got Me Good" was co-written with Rodney Jerkins and Livvi Franc (Olivia Waith).[19] When interviewed by Rap-Up TV, Jerkins said "I had a meeting with her about what her future holds and I told her I was there if she ever needed my creative juices, so hopefully me and her get in the studio and work."[21] Jerkins previously produced records for Ciara: The Evolution and Fantasy Ride.
Ciara also worked with Bangladesh, Hit-Boy, Soundz and Jermaine Dupri.[26][27] Hit-Boy produced a record written by Soundz named after himself, which he described as "energetic, for the club, for the radio."[26] However, while Ciara recorded the full song, months went by after its production with no response. Thus, he gave the beat to Kendrick Lamar, and it became his single, "Backseat Freestyle" (2013).[28] Whilst that record did not appear on the album, "Sophomore" produced by Soundz and "DUI" co-produced by Soundz and The Rockstarz both made the album. Soundz previously produced records for Basic Instinct. Another of Ciara's frequent collaborators, Tricky Stewart, also worked on the album.[13] On July 22, 2012, it was revealed that singer-songwriter Wynter Gordon had written a song for Ciara. Speaking about the song, Gordon said, "It's pop. She sounds really good. She's singing like I've never actually heard Ciara sound... I'm very proud of her vocal ability on this record."[29] The song titled "Livin' It Up" was produced by Jerkins' close friend and musical associate D'Mile.
