Jordin Sparks Drops New Holiday Song ‘S-N-O-W’

The Holidays are right around the corner and as an early gift, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal Jordin Sparks’ new holiday song.

Sparks’ track “S-N-O-W” is featured on the EP Growin’ Up Holiday, which is set to be released on Friday, October 18.

In honor of the new song , Sparks, 34, opened up to Us about her holiday traditions — and what she still does with her son, DJ, whom she shares DJ with husband Dana Isaiah.

“When I was growing up, I loved making popcorn balls with my family. DJ and I really enjoy being in the kitchen and being ‘taste tester’ for the sweet treats!” Sparks says.

In “S-N-O-W,” Sparks sings the lyrics, “I want to snow / everywhere that I go” and “I want to make angel wings while it falls from the sky / Want to turn snowflakes into snowball fights / Santa hurry, can you make it flurry fast? Is it too much to ask?”

But for the Arizona native, she admits the itch to see snow isn’t as strong — after all, she is a West Coast girl!

“I remember thinking that it was beautiful but I didn’t want to be in it,” Sparks tells Us about experiencing her first snowfall.

And for her husband, “Dana is originally from Chicago so he has seen a lot of snow in his life,” she adds with a laugh.

It’s safe to say that Sparks is excited for Christmas, as she previously told Us that it was her favorite holiday.

The festive EP also includes three other original holiday songs by artists Smithfield, Walk Off the Earth and Jaden Michaels (who also serves as executive producer). It’s an extension of Platoon’s family-friendly music series that started with Growin’ Up Country Vol. 1 & 2, Growin’ Up Holiday.

'American Idol' Winners Through the Years

With “S-N-O-W,” the Season 6 American Idol winner can now add another holiday song to her beloved discography. Last year, Sparks released The Gift of Christmas, an EP full of four classic holiday songs: “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Jingle Bells,” “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “Silent Night.” She released Cider & Hennessy in 2020, which includes 10 original holiday songs and has performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade three times.

While Sparks gifted Us with another holiday tune this year, she has “a miniature cow” on her list.
