"Spark" is a song by Tori Amos, released as the first single from her 1998 album From the Choirgirl Hotel.
Amos wrote "Spark" after suffering a miscarriage. She discussed the song in an article from Q magazine in May 1998.

Amos requested the video for "Spark" to be directed by James Brown, who originally had a different idea for the video that Amos didn't like; she requested wanting something "where a girl has a will to live." The video was shot in Dartmoor, South West England and took three days to finish.
