In addition to “BRB,” Ciara’s latest EP also features her Lil Baby-assisted track “Forever,” and “How We Roll” featuring Chris Brown. The Atlanta native shot the video for “HWR” while pregnant with her fourth child, the third with husband Russell Wilson

For her pregnancy reveal, Ciara shared a clip from her and Wilson’s anniversary trip to Japan last month. In the footage, she danced in front of a pool and showcased her growing baby bump to the camera. 

"You look at me like that again, we make another kid… You my heart I’m your rib” 🥰😘❤️," her caption read, using the lyrics from her song “How We Roll.”

"Ciara has been working and traveling all through her pregnancy. She shot the 'How We Roll' video while pregnant. She was dancing on set all day long for a full day's shoot," a source told PEOPLE.

"She's one of those mothers who has energy throughout her whole pregnancy. She always calls her life organized chaos — but it's organized chaos taking it up another notch," the insider continued.

"She loves being a mother so this is what she loves doing. This is what she has always wanted, and Russ too. They've always wanted a lot of kids," they added.

Ciara is already a mom to 3-year-old son Win and daughter Sienna Princess, 6, who she shares with the Denver Broncos quarterback, 34. She also shares son Future Zahir, 9, with ex-fiancé, rapper Future.
