The song's lyrics are about female empowerment and virginity. The protagonist does not want to be an object. The song's protagonist rejects a male's sexual advances, proclaiming that he will never get her "goodies" because "they stay in the jar".

"Goodies" was released as the album's lead single in third and fourth quarters of 2004, and first quarter of 2005. As the album's opening track, the song made a successful debut single, becoming Ciara's first number one single in the UK Singles Chart and on the Billboard Hot 100, and stayed number one for seven consecutive weeks. The song charted well on international markets. It was certified Platinum in the United States.

After the success of Usher's "Yeah!" and Petey Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek", LaFace executive L.A. Reid wanted a female version of Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek". Ciara went in the recording studio with Hip-hop producer Lil Jon. She began writing a demo, but she had difficulty composing lyrics and creating a melody. Reid asked songwriter Sean Garrett, who was co-writer of Usher's Yeah!, to help Ciara write a song. The process took several days including Ciara and Garrett writing verses over the phone. The demo became "Goodies", which is the answer song to Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek". Lil Jon heard the demo and wanted to record the full track and Ciara became the first woman to record a crunk song.
