Kelly Clarkson’s new single My Life Would Suck Without You is awesome!

January 22, 2009 by vongsundara 

Kelly Clarkson’s first single titled “My Life Would Suck Without You” from her upcoming fourth studio album has just been released on iTunes. I downloaded it this morning and have been enjoying it all day long.

The single reflects a return to Kelly Clarkson’s pop-rock style from her hit album “Breakaway.” The single begins with a subtle melody played on guitar before the synthetic sounds pop in along with Kelly Clarkson’s signature smooth vocals, building nicely toward the extremely catchy chorus. The instrumental accompaniment is definitely not as aggressive as in Kelly’s last album, “My December.” I was a huge fan of her last album (minus that horrific first single, “Never Again”) and enjoyed the direction she was headed, but that album’s failure made the direction for this album fairly easy to predict.

The lyrics match well with the melody and aren’t as derivative as in “Never Again.” As far as lead singles go, this is Kelly’s second’s best, lagging behind only “Since U Been Gone.” I can hardly wait for the full album to come out on March 17, 2009.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

Lyrics

Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
What you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you’d never come back
But here you are again

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight
I know that I’ve got issues
But you’re pretty messed up too
Anyway, I found out I’m nothing without you

Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn’t miss you, but I can’t let go
Oh yeah
