Ciara – Yes (Unfinished Business) (ft. Akeem Ali)

Find the complete lyrics for “Yes (Unfinished Business)” by Ciara featuring Akeem Ali. Produced by Thom Bridges, Ciara, Courtlin Jabrae, Andy D. Park.

The song opens with a whisper that sets the tone for the entire track. “You so beautiful / I mean, all I can say is, hm.” It’s a moment of admiration, a recognition that the narrator is still in awe of the person she is addressing. The chorus is a repetition of a single word that turns into a mantra: “Y-E-S when you touch on my body / Y-E-S when you say that you want me.” The narrator is affirming her presence, her desire, and her willingness to be present in the moment.

The original “Yes” was a celebration of desire. But the “Unfinished Business” remix shifts the focus to the bigger picture, rewriting the narrative for her husband, Russell Wilson, and their journey together . The line “I don’t give a yes, give a yes to everybody / But you know you’re not, no, you’re not just anybody” is a recognition that the narrator’s affirmation is not for everyone. It’s reserved for the person who has earned it.

The production, built on a foundation of bass and rhythm, creates a space that is both intimate and expansive. The lyrics trace the arc of a relationship that has moved from desire to something deeper, a recognition that the love is both chosen and earned. The track is a reminder that some of the most powerful affirmations are the ones that are not given freely, but are reserved for the people who have proven they deserve them.
