Aside from the rare feat of maintaining one of the most genuine, down-to-earth personalities in Hollywood, as well as commanding one of the best voices in the game, our one true American Idol Kelly Clarkson is also incredibly honest – in life, & especially so in her music.

From Breakaway onward, she’s given the public access to lớn plenty of information about her private life – taking us Behind These Hazel Eyes, if you will.

One of the most personal songs she’s ever written, “Because of You,” addressed her father stepping out on her family when she was still a child. And in a full circle moment years later, she gave us what was effectively the sequel: “Piece by Piece,” an emotional resolution with the added perspective of being in a happy marriage. At the time, anyway.

Fast forward to 2020: Kelly is now in the midst of a divorce, & cordiality has devolved into custody battles, staggering financial demands from her ex và increasingly ugly legal battles involving in-laws. It’s sad lớn see as a bystander & longtime fan – especially knowing she’s got to put on a brave face, turn it on & walk out in front of the cameras lớn be a bright, charismatic daytime TV host every day.

But she appears to be doing well all things considered (from an outside view, at least), và exactly as promised, she’s channeling those emotions into her “honest” upcoming record while looking back at her discography.

On Friday’s (December 11) episode with guest Garth Brooks, Kelly talked about his track “The Dance,” & how it inspired a lyric from her upcoming record.

“So I’m going through divorce, and there’s been lượt thích a lot of…books, & people always give you stuff to lượt thích help, especially when you have kids & stuff…I couldn’t quite nail down lượt thích the feeling…you don’t want lớn say that didn’t count or matter, but you don’t know what khổng lồ put in it because it didn’t work out how you wanted,” she explained.

“I was listening khổng lồ my playlist and ‘The Dance’ came on & I was like, no, that’s the thing. That’s it. So I literally – it’s not like your song, like a ripoff, but I literally wrote this whole thing, therapeutically for me, and it’s actually on my next album, and…like the little tag part is ‘even though my heart is broken / it was worth the dance anyway.’ I think what’s interesting about it is I sang trọng that tuy vậy from childhood và it never hit me,” she continued.

She also opened up about the meaning of “Piece by Piece,” the tuy vậy that plenty of fans are probably thinking about these days, especially with lines lượt thích “He never walks away, he never asks for money.” Awkward.

“I have this tuy nhiên ‘Piece By Piece, & I’m the writer. For me, I’d never really experienced the loss of my father, like…it never impacted me until I became a parent, because then I knew what a parent should be and what it felt like. I didn’t really know the loss. I didn’t know the impact. So I wrote the tuy nhiên for my daughter and my husband at the time, & little did I know it was only a piece of this puzzle,” she explained.

“I have this whole full puzzle sitting in front of me – well, what I think is, you never know…and there’s a lyric on my new album, in a tuy vậy called <“Rock Hudson”? “Raw Cuts”?>, and it’s lượt thích by the way: ‘Piece by piece, I found out my hero’s me.‘ và it’s a beautiful thing. It’s not in lượt thích a negative sense. It’s almost too much to lớn put on someone to vày that for you, you know? You have to vì chưng that yourself. Lượt thích piece by piece, you have to lớn get there yourself. It’s so funny because I’m the writer và I was like…a little off, but I got there.”

First of all: incredible self-reflection there from our girl. Pushing past the pain và finding the self-empowerment in the situation? Classic Clarkson.

Secondly: no one can seem khổng lồ agree for sure on what she’s saying there, being the Queen of Quick Talking she is, but the best guesses are she’s either going with “Raw Cuts,” a title that sounds like a My December moment, or “Rock Hudson,” an ode to lớn one of the most well-known closeted Hollywood heartthrobs who became one of the first celebrity faces of the aids crisis. (That does feel like a stretch written out, although he was portrayed in Ryan Murphy‘s Hollywood recently. Maybe she saw it và felt inspired?)

Regardless, this is yet another exciting development: the album is coming, clearly, và it sounds like she’s feeling especially inspired after everything that 2020 has brought. Ready for whatever comes next.
