Jordin Sparks returns with new single "Skipping A Beat"

Jordin Sparks is finally back with some new music. The former "American Idol" champ premiered her new single "Skipping a Beat" on (Thursday) August 1st. The singer was teasing fans about the release on Instagram and Twitter. The tracks serves as a preview to what we're going to hear on the follow-up to her 2009 sophomore album "Battlefield".



"Skipping A Beat" is an mid-tempo pop song with a breezy R&B vibe, it's inspired by her pop star boyfriend Jason Derulo. She sings: "You're my lover, you're my friend, you're my gangsta". Speaking of Jason, Jordan is also preparing to release a duet with him titled "Before It Breaks". The track is a total opposite of the fierce 2011 single "I Am Woman" which was originally set to lead her third album.

Overall, its cute song but not single worthy. "Skipping A Beat" is also no more like an album filler and that's more than likely what it's going to be.
