NNNN- but seriously I think Epic is broke. Artists are leaving and getting dropped left and right. Also, many established acts are getting **** tours and videos. I wouldn't be surprised if Epic folds in 2014. They are waiting to see if Shakira does some damage. If not, they have no hope.

Well, even if Epic is broke and doesn't want to spend money on the song, Ci obviously can make her own music video, just like with Gimme Dat. She's just being lazy 
And Epic knows for sure that if they want to earn money, they must spend their last coins on PROFITABLE songs. Overdose is clearly one of their most potential songs now. They don't even spend a dime on Tamar's new Christmas album, Cher Lloyd, Fifth Harmony, Bonnie McKee... - artists who are as marketable as Ci, so they better spend all their money to Overdose 
If there's anything wrong, it's Epic being too dumb that they don't know where to spend their money. Like, the amount of Got Me Good got while it would never smash for sure...

Got Me Good was cheap. All they needed was 12 midgets for cheap, an asian dancer (there's 1 million in LA ), a truck (Ci has trucks), and they shipped her out to the desert. She wore the same outfit the whole video. That saves her so much money.
Hopefully, they do something simple but iconic with Overdose if they can't spend money on the video.

The worst thing is her acting all like everything's normal and no one expects her to promote OD. I hate it when she does that.

WTF? You sound ****ing racist here but I won't report you 
They're 8 Flavahz, a famous dance crew, it's not cheap. Joseph Kahn is not cheap neither.
Also you think going to the desert for two days is cheap? it's cheap if you're all by yourself, but they had the whole crew and it's not cheap at all.
And I don't think that truck was hers 
Also, the mv had a TimeSquare premiere, do you know how expensive it is to have your mv premiere in that place?
It costed over $100,000 to make the video for Gimme Dat only, and we can clearly see how cheap it was. Got Me Good, with its promotion, I would say it costed at least a good amount of $350,000

]Epic records clearly isn't broke, y'all.[/B] You have to understand that a record label isn't going to shell out big money on projects when they aren't making any in return. I can imagine that Epic has already spent a ton on the 'Ciara' era from promotion, to music videos, to recording and paying songwriters and producers. "Overdose" isn't the first, second, or third release from this era, it's the 6th. 5 of the said six got official releases, and 4 of the six got music video and were promoted on major platforms, yet only 1 of those 6 songs managed to be a substantial hit. and even said hit song "Body Party," struggled to sell and reached the Gold certification it has with the help of streaming.

Epic is broke. ALL of her singles in the past year have charted w/ the exception of Sweat and Got Me Good and that's because they weren't sent to radio.

I just don't understand why Ci doesn't just let us ****ING know things. Like, do we need to still be worried about this era, are we gtting a music video, etc. It's been a month since this has impacted radio, and we don't even have a lyric video. She needs to get her **** together, NOW.

Nnn- why is part of her tweet in a foreign language? Is she learning a new language instead of promoting Overdose? 
---
But yas, Overdose needs a EP with remixes and she needs big names on her remix. Britney, Brandy, 2chainz, maybe Beyonce. La Reid can call in the favors tbh.
