A music video to accompany the release of "Sparks" was first released on YouTube on 16 March 2012 at a total length of three minutes and three seconds.[1]
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"It's just another night, the boys are getting hype/ But baby in my head, I'm there with you instead," T-Ray bluntly confesses over a clap-happy beat and smooth synths, before Amanda takes the reigns [sic] on a wibbly-lipped chorus that will grab your ears and refuse to let go. With a hook more seductive than a heartthrob vampire, we suspect Cover Drive will have the public under their charms once again. .[2]
