"Sorry" is about one of Ciara's former boyfriends. She honestly loved the person. She has never said who, but confirmed it wasn't about Amar'e Stoudemire. From her celebrity boyfriends, that leaves Bow Wow and [the rumored, never confirmed relationship with] 50 Cent. Whoever it is, they had too big of an ego to apologize for being and doing wrong.
Ciara cried while writing the song. She cried so much, you can even it hear it on the song. The song is said to be urban, as well as a "classic." The song received stellar reviews at her listening party.
