Epic Records serviced the single to Rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States on April 9, 2013. Musically, "Body Party" is a down-tempo R&B song that samples "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's.
"Body Party" received positive reviews from critics who praised the slow synthesized production akin to songs by Prince and R. Kelly. Rolling Stone ranked "Body Party" at number 22 for The Best Songs of 2013, which made it the highest R&B song on the list. Upon release, the song charted at number six on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song also debuted at number thirty-five on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached a current peak of twenty-two. The single was also certified double platinum by the RIAA and is Ciara's second multi-platinum single after "1, 2 Step".[1]
The song's accompanying music video, shot by Director X, tells a story of the first time when Ciara and Future met. Aside from Future, the video featured cameo appearances from artists including Trinidad James and Ludacris. The video received positive reviews from critics as well as from musical peer Nicki Minaj. The song's official remix was released on May 16, 2013 and features Future and B.o.B. Ciara performed the single for the first time on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in June 2013.[2] The video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to Treasure by Bruno Mars, but won for "Best Dance Performance" at the 2013 Soul Train Music Awards.
