Laila Releases New Song “Sparks”
Jordanian-Canadian singer-songwriter Laila released her third single called “Sparks” on July 21, 2023.
The song is a deeply introspective single that delves into the challenges of navigating the dating world after heartbreak.
She shared, “I wrote this song after a hinge date and it’s about how difficult and confusing dating has been for me after heartbreak.”
The track was written by Laila Kharouba, Jon Pike, and Brandon Pero. Produced by Jon Pike and Brandon Pero.
The accompanying vertical music video was directed by Andrew Nguyen.
She draws inspiration from a serendipitous moment she witnessed while walking home in Toronto.
“I was walking home and saw sparks coming off the 501 streetcar in Toronto, and it got me thinking about how my default these days is to shut down any romantic sparks I start to feel out of a fear of being hurt again,” Laila said of the song. “I wrote most of this song on a voice note on my phone during that walk home. Finishing this song made me realize that my heart still needs to heal before it can ‘work' again. Because it definitely doesn’t work right now - which is okay.”- source : Apple Music
