## Versions

### Film version

The song was recorded by American actress Gal Gadot in her role as the voice of Medea.

"Feel the Spark" is performed in the film by Medea who suddenly possesses god-like magical powers and finds it increasingly hard to control them. The song serves as Medea's prayer to her late Grandmother Fiona to help her find out how to use her powers for good. Her prayers are answered, as she is revealed to be gifted so that she'll become a true hero. The number is later reprised when Medea sets off on her quest to become her new and true self.
