Sparks debut video for "Do Things My Own Way"

After the announcement of their new album MAD! Sparks, which includes brothers Ron and Russell Mael, have shared released “Do Things My Own Way,” the first taste of their forthcoming LP ,due out in 2025 Via their new label home Transgressive Records. Today, they release the song’s video, of which Sparks say: “We hope this video, even in a very small way, finally starts a meaningful dialogue about the dangers of pianos falling out of tall buildings.”

Quintessentially Sparks, the video was directed by Los Angeles-based Ambar Navarro, who says: “Collaborating with Sparks has been my dream for a long time that took me on my own career journey. It was a new experience getting to work in a fully digital surreal world, pieced together by Dillon Petrillo, and see it all come together at the end. Overall, Ron survived his falls with just a few minor cuts.”

“Do Things My Own Way” functions as something of a manifesto for the Maels— Sparks are a band who have always, always done things their own way. As they’ve stated, “Our mantra since 1972, amplified in 2025.”
