Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown both launched their musical careers around the mid-00s. Brown’s ascent to stardom began in 2005 with the release of his debut single, “Run It.” Meanwhile, Sparks’ career unfolded once she won the sixth season of “American Idol” in 2007. The next year, Brown and Sparks teamed up for a sweet duet, “No Air,” in which they croon about the suffocating feeling induced by being apart from your true love. The song was a commercial success and Spark’s highest charting song of all time, peaking at No. 3 on the charts, per Billboard. They even performed the song on “American Idol.”

And while Sparks and Brown haven’t recorded any more songs together, they did cross paths musically when Sparks optioned a song that Brown had written, but didn’t use, for her own sophomore album. “It wasn’t planned [as a duet],” Sparks shared about the unnamed song to MTV. “I had gotten a song he had been a part of.” She added, “He had written [the song], and I’m not sure if I’m going to get to it yet.” Since then, Brown has evolved from the PG-rated music that marked his 2005 debut, into more mature music, though his efforts have sometimes been overshadowed by his many controversies. Sparks, on the other hand, has also continued to make music, in addition to pursuing acting and other creative endeavors, such as film and Broadway.
