This is a silly song with a silly video. What's wrong with that? I like it.

Why is the (justifiable) hatred for this song making us forget how flat Baby Don't Lie was? Only a few people disliked that one, a lot of us grew to love it quite a bit... and people like me, loved it upon first listen and still do...

Gwen came out during Pharrell's set at NY's Z100 Jingle Ball over the weekend to perform "Spark the Fire". Also, it was just announced they will perform on the inaugural People Magazine Awards Show (that's a thing ) Thursday night 12/18 on NBC making it "STF"'s second televised performance. The continued promo makes me wonder if the label will send this for Radio adds at the beginning of the year once more people are familiar with the song. Othweise this could end up being another "Booty" with televised performances and promo but never sent to Radio.

Looks like Interscope may be sending "Spark the Fire" to Radio in 2015. They added a "Coming 2015" section on playiga.com and "STF" is listed. Kind of a weird strategy to promote in in December and then not send it to Radio until early 2015 but I guess they were worried the song would get lost in the holiday/end of year shuffle. In other news, there will be TWO televised performances of "Spark the Fire" tonight...the NY Z100 Jingle Ball concert on the CW at 8pm and the People Magazine Awards on NBC at 9pm! :) Source: playiga.com/track/coming-2015/

Well I caught both performances and I can safely say this song was stuck in my head the rest of the night.

The first few times I heard this song, I thought it was absolutely dreadful, but now I am totally jamming to it. That has happened to me with a lot of Gwen's songs (Wind it Up, Yummy, Bubble Pop Electric).

I saw the performance on I HEART MUSIC, and yes, the song did get stuck in my head, but not in a good way. Everyone I was with was complaining about how bad the song was.
It's catchy because she keeps repeating the same words over and over but I don't think it's quality music.

The mastercard commercial was played on New years rocking eve. The song was also performed. For the trillionth time. I swear, this is getting more televised performances than "Firework."

The hyperbole in this thread is out of control. Yes, it's frustrating "Baby Don't Lie" was not performed on TV at all however, besides The Voice televised performance of "Spark the Fire" have been on low rated/profile programs such as the People Magazine Awards (first telecast, viewed as a fake awards show, attracted only 3 million viewers), CW rebroadcast of Z100 Jingle Ball (no once watches the CW, attracted only 1 million viewers), and Carson Daly's New Years Eve (lower rated and viewed as a cheap knockoff of ABC's Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest). Of course promo is still promo but it's not like "Spark the Fire" has been performed on high profile award shows like The Grammys or big shows like Saturday Night Live which have proven to provide bigger bumps for songs. To top it all off the familiarity with the song is low as it has not been sent to Radio yet. If a person is use to hearing a song on the Radio and then sees it performed live on TV they are more likely to be inclined to purchase the song rather than if they are hearing it for the first time in a live performance.

Exactly, four performances and a national commercial already. It's annoying that she had a song that could have performed better had she given it this much attention. Instead, she's wasting her time on trying to make this stink bomb happen. This will never be a hit, EVER. I hope they save themselves the embarrassment and don't send it for adds and just say it's a heater track.
And I don't know what channel you guys are watching, but I see those damn Mastercard commercials every five minutes. And it really does the song no favors. They couldn't even find a thirty second edit to make this sound good.
