"Spark the Fire" is listed as Gwen's most popular song on her iTunes page yet it doesn't appear on the main chart. It's selling more than "Baby Don't Lie" (which is currently #120) so something is not updating properly with this song's position on iTunes. It's not the epic flop some posters are dying to make fun of. At #57 currently.

Just showed up out of nowhere at #56 on the main iTunes page. This confirms there was some type of glitch and people are in fact buying it. Suck it haters

This will do zilch at radio and the video is another $2 bomb. What a lame campaign to date (BDL the song excepted - I enjoyed that).

To be honest, outside of Pulse the majority of reviews I've read online across major music blogs has been positive with most people saying "Baby Don't Lie" was too generic/safe for them and this is the Gwen they've been waiting for.

That's not a Music Blog. That's an extension of ATRL and other forums. So one opinion is expressed in the same fashion with just another avatar and username but same IP Address

I love Gwen to death and have pretty much liked every single from her except Now That You Got It but this is even worse than that. I've tried to get into it, but no dice. This is not the best song to lead into a new album release.

I'm sorry I don't think I understand what you mean. What is ATRL? Are you trying to say those comments are from the same person? lol ONTD is an entertainment blog that people with live journals post on, and although it's not a blog specifically about music, of the 200 comments, they were all mostly negative.

There are a few people that post there that also post here :kii: They also post on ONTD. If you look it's the same 10-12 people talking about the song.

I see a bunch of different people commenting though now. But granted ONTD does tend to be very negative. I liked it a lot more maybe about 2 years ago, I feel like the posters and their comments have changed : ( Used to make me laugh back during the era of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears breaking down (not because they were breaking down just referring to that period of time)

I think it's safe to say we will be getting yet another single before the album's release.

Seems like Gwen will need to keep looking for the lighter that will re-ignite her career. This is definitely not it. I liked BDL miles better than this, and it seems the general response is the same... as this can't crack the Top 50 on iTunes even after a high profile performance.

Neither of these songs is anywhere near as good as the singles from L.A.M.B. or The Sweet Escape (and I'm not even that crazy about the latter's singles, bar the title track). I'm not sure who told her that these are good songs with which to mount a comeback, but they were very, very wrong.

The new official press release doesn't mention this song as the new radio single. Album will be released in early 2015.
Santa Monica, California, December 2, 2014— Global superstar and The Voice season seven coach Gwen Stefani releases new song “Spark The Fire” on Mad Love/Interscope Records. The track is available now for digital download and streaming via digital subscription services. “Spark The Fire,” which the three-time Grammy Award-winner co-wrote with its producer Pharrell Williams, reunites the two hitmakers. They first collaborated on the 2005 hit “Hollaback Girl” which was featured on Stefani’s debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. A number one single; “Hollaback Girl” was the first digital download to sell over one million copies in the United States. “Spark The Fire” will be featured on Stefani’s upcoming album which will be released in early 2015. “I am so excited to have a new song out with Pharrell,” says Gwen Stefani. “He is magic and we have this crazy unexpected musical connection. This song is a perfect expression of this new chapter in my life. Who got the lighter – let’s spark the fire!!” “Working with Gwen is always a fun, inspiring experience,” says Pharrell Williams. “She's the Queen of Awesome for a reason!” Last night on The Voice Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams performed “Spark The Fire.” Watch it HERE. Directed by Sophie Muller, the video for “Spark The Fire” is a high energy escape into a world of animation. The “Spark The Fire” video premieres on VEVO.

^Interesting - I just noticed PlayIGA lists this as "NEW SONG!," whereas the Rixton song just added is "NEW SINGLE!" Hmm.

The "Who got the lighter? Let's spark the fire." part has been stuck in my head all day.

Did it go for immediate adds? It was never listed on All Access or FMQB so it doesn't appear to have been pushed at Radio yet and judging from that press release I'm not sure if it will be. Perhaps they are not going to focus on Radio with this album (considering she's a 45 year old female) and instead just throw some songs out there with videos and scattered promo? Not the best strategy but I recall Gwen saying in interviews she wanted to release her music differently this time around. Going back to the online reception of this song, from what I saw ATRL was digging it...I recall "slay" being used quite frequently in the song's thread ;)

I keep thinking it's "Who's Got The Lighter? Let's Fuck The Fire".
The song and video are quite hilarious, in a bad way. Don't think this is going to be a hit and quite disappointed.
