Jordin Sparks has revealed the inspiration behind her new single

In an interview with AOL Music, Jordin Sparks has revealed some of the inspir­a­tions behind her new Ryan Tedder-produced single, 'I Am Woman'.

The song is appar­ently about the "different aspects of the lives of women" and about how they can "multitask and carry so much". In summary, it's about "the amaz­ing­ness of a woman".

When asked who her female role models are she cited Gwen Stefani as a big influence, not least for her make-up choices. "I love how she rocks that red lipstick no matter where she goes" she said.

She also revealed that her forth­com­ing third album would include col­lab­or­a­tions with John Legend and 'No Air' hitmakers the Underdogs.
