Ciara has decided to release a cover of one of the Rolling Stones' biggest hits, "Paint It Black." The track will be included on the soundtrack of the upcoming film "The Last Witch Hunter." The cover should sound right in tune with the theme of "The Last Witch Hunter," who is played by Vin Diesel. 

Ciara steps away from the sexy pop music of Jackie and imposes a sense of darkness and fantasy upon the Rolling Stones' classic. In an interview with Rolling Stone (the magazine) that coincided with the song's premiere, she hinted at a possible future collaboration with Missy Elliott. We'd certainly love another "Lose Control." 

Quotable Lyrics

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
