Jordin Sparks is back; and this go round  the American Idol alum has her hands in many a pot.

The 23-year-old is currently riding high on the charts thanks to ‘The Way’ – the Ariana Grande smash she actually wrote for herself.

We caught up with Sparks at the BET Awards 2013 where she waxed honest about initially penning ‘The Way’ (she says song is about her relationship with Jason Derulo), her upcoming album (material from which she reveals is is due next month), and her acting endeavors.

Hit ‘PLAY’ for all the tea!
