Songfacts®:

• This is the third single by four-piece Bajan pop band, Cover Drive. "Happy to see you setting me off like sparks," they sing, "You ignite all the colours inside my heart." The tune premiered on The Hits Radio and was officially released on April 23, 2012.
• The song's music video was filmed in Los Angeles and sees the Cover Drive quartet hitting the beach and performing in a lounge.
• Lead singer Amanda Reifer explained the song's meaning: "Sparks is about the connection you feel with someone special, regardless of their age or race or background. It is a love song. It's about anyone who steps in to your life and changes it overnight."
• The song sees Amanda duet with drummer/singer T-Ray Armstrong. "Singing a love song with T-Ray isn't weird," she said, "although everyone expects me to say that it is. I've known him for ages and there's a lot of love between us. When we sing it to each other, we can't stop smiling."
• T-Ray told The Sun why the quartet named themselves 'Cover Drive.' "My dad named the band," he explained. "He is a big cricket fan and a cover drive is an excellent shot in cricket. We liked how it sounded and the fact it tied us to Barbados since cricket is our national sport."
