The sun was hot, but Ciara was even hotter while shooting the sizzling video for “Got Me Good,” the second single off her upcoming album One Woman Army. The sexy singer went in front of the lens in the California desert, showing off some new moves as she performed under the scorching sun.

“I was burning hot, literally, but thanks to tons of water, the team, and luckily I had a guy bring an umbrella to help me block the sun,” she told VH1 News.

She invited the all-female dance troupe 8 Flavahz from “America’s Best Dance Crew” to perform with her in the video. “They just really touched me right away by the gift of dance,” said CiCi.

Thanks to her trainer Gunnar Peterson, a balanced diet, and lots of water, she made it through the day.

The video and song will premiere on Ciara’s birthday, October 25. Go behind the scenes below.
