It has been six years since Sparkle’s last single, “So Bad,” but she is back to the scene after facing some rough realizations. She returns to music with her new track “We Are Ready.”

Sparkle appears throughout the Dream Hampton’s executively produced docu-series, Surviving R. Kelly, and as a result, she has released an empowerment song for women who have fought and survived all forms of abuse.

“They have tried to silence from us, strip away the power from us,” she sings at the beginning of the first verse. “Said that we were weak long enough, but time is up/ We ain’t weak/ We have a voice and its loud, no we ain’t just figure it out/ When we come together we win we overcome battles, we fall, we’ll do it again/ And it’s never been an easy win, but we are ready.”
