The track has an easy listening R&B vibe as she sings about true love, presumably inspired by boyfriend and singer Jason Derulo.
The singer released her sophomore album, Battlefield” in 2009. Her self-titled debut album was released in 2007 after she won the sixth season of “American Idol.” She was 17 at the time and is still the youngest contestant to ever win the show, which is now heading into its 13th season.
Her debut album sold more than 2 million copies. Battlefield didn’t fare quite so well selling just over 600,000 copies amid criticism that Sparks had abandoned her urban sound for pop. But “Skipping a Beat” is pure R&B.
The 23-year-old sings “You’re my lover, you’re my friend, you’re my gangsta.”
Her upcoming album will include a duet with Derulo, who will release a new album Tattoos on Sept. 24. Her last single, “I Am Woman,” was released in 2011. But whether it will appear on her upcoming album remains to be seen.
