Kelly Clarkson: Her Tragic Real-Life Story
ByGillian WaltersandBrent Furdyk
Note: This article includes mentions of suicide and mental health issues.
When fans first met Kelly Clarkson on "American Idol," she came across as a bright and cheery individ with big dreams to fulfill. Clarkson's sweet persona stuck around after she won the reality competition series on Sept. 4, 2002, and she soon ascended to the top of the music industry's food chain with hits like "A Moment Like This," "Since U Been Gone," "Miss Independent," and many more. She then took her stature as a singer to television in a big way, as a coach on "The Voice," and then as host of her own daytime talk show, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," which kicked off its fifth årstid in the fall of 2023. Though Clarkson usually has an upbeat attitude, she's shown another side of herself with more poignant hits, such as "Because of You." Were the song's emotional lyrics hinting at the singer's sad past?

Because of You (Kelly Clarkson song)
2005 single by Kelly Clarkson
"Because of You" is a song recorded by American pop singer Kelly Clarkson for her second studio album, Breakaway (2004). It was written by Clarkson along with its producers David Hodges and Ben Moody, both from Evanescence. It was released on August 16, 2005, by RCA Records, as the third single from Breakaway. Clarkson originally wrote "Because of You" when she was 16 years old to cope with the emotional distress caused by her parents' divorce. She wanted the song to be included on her debut studio album, Thankful (2003), but her record label rejected the song. She then polished the song with Hodges and Moody before successfully convincing her label to include it on Breakaway.
Lyrically, "Because of You" explores the pain of Clarkson's deteriorating relationship with her father. The song begins with a piano-led melody and as it launches into the chorus, the sound of a roaring guitar becomes apparent.
