Songs from the Sparkle Lounge is the tenth studio album by the English rock band Def Leppard.

In an interview with Billboard, Joe Elliott stated that the album title is a reference to a backstage tuning room at shows where the band would work on new material.

"[8] Elliott also stated that they would not be performing any previews of the songs, as they did not want them appearing on websites such as YouTube prior to the release of the album.

[10] Joe Elliott has stated at the band's official site that the concept of this album is that it sounds more like "early 70's AC/DC" and much like Led Zeppelin's song "Rock and Roll".

The Def Leppard version of "Nine Lives" is the song without Tim McGraw, and where Joe Elliott is always on lead vocals.
