The song is dedicated to Wilson's love for the singer.

Early this morning, Ciara dropped off her latest effort Beauty Marks, a pop-dance record that the singer hopes will inspire and motivate others. To add to the hype around the album, CiCi produces the visual for the LP's title track, a love ballad delivered directly to her NFL star husband, Russell Wilson. In the intimate video, Ciara shares private moments including never-before-seen footage of her wedding to Wilson, officiated by celebrity pastor and Justin Bieber's best buddy, Pastor Judah Smith. The singer also shows home footage of when she was in the hospital giving birth to her daughter Sienna with her family by her side.

"My mantra throughout the process of recording this album was about reminding myself that the scars you get from going through life are actually your beauty marks," she said in a statement. "Adversity ends up giving you wisdom and character, and persevering through all those challenges makes you so much stronger. This album is about celebrating the journey that leads you to those Beauty Mark moments."

Quotable Lyrics

I feel the love in your hands
Boy when you touch me like that
The way you love every part
You show me my scars are beauty marks
