Jordin Sparks reflects on evolved creativity after winning American Idol over 18 years ago

Jordin Sparks' claim to fame was her victory at the sixth season of American Idol in May 2007 when she was 17. Reflecting on her journey as an artist after winning the show over 18 years ago, Jordin told Us Weekly on June 10, 2025, that she had become "a little more selective" in her endeavors.

Jordin recalled that when she was younger, people would dictate what the project was about and who she would work with.

"Now, I’m a little bit more selective. I’ve been able to really find a group of people [who] I love working and writing with," she added.

Additionally, the S.O.S singer talked about her fifth studio album, No Restrictions, which was released in September 2024. It was Jordin's first album with original material in nine years, and she credited her family as one of the inspirations behind the new project.

“I’ve got my wonderful son and my handsome husband over there. If I am at 0 percent, [Dana Isaiah] picks up that other percentage for me. If he’s at 80 percent, I pick up that extra 20 percent for him. I have more inspiration now than ever. I have a lot to be thankful for,” Jordin mentioned.

Jordin Sparks expressed similar sentiments around the time of No Restrictions' release in September 2024 during an interview with PEOPLE. The singer said she had become "very particular and choosy about my time and my creativity" and wanted to make sure she worked with people who shared her spirit.

Speaking about how her fifth studio album showcased her growth since winning American Idol, Jordin Sparks said:

"Everybody met me on Idol when I was singing something different every single week. So I really wanted to show, 'Hey, I know you met me here, but let me show you what I can do on this record.' So there's a lot of different influences, a lot of different cross genres, but it's all really cohesive into one great experience."
