Ciara may come off as a closed off artist when it comes to her personal life, but like most passionate people, she wears her heart on her sleeve. She inspires to be great, but at the same time, she also wants that same energy transferred onto others.

"What makes me happy is definitely having success and also knowing that I may have inspired someone or influence some other young girl or young person to go after what they believe in, that definitely touches me," Ciara told Singersroom.

With her fifth studio album on its way, the 27-year-old's longevity can be credited to her chase of greatness, but at the same time, having a fundamentally sound foundation.

"The things that I choose to chase in life is definitely having success. I definitely hope to make a mark in music," Ciara adds. "I chase life success, personal life success. I chase having that family foundation balance to it all, because that to me is how I will really be able to enjoy what I do, just know that it's supported with love."

Ciara's next LP, One Woman Army, will arrive soon.
