Kelly Clarkson levert, als ze in 2002 de Amerikaanse Idols wint, haar debuutalbum Thankful af. Ondertussen schreef de zangeres met Moment Like You al een nummer-1-hit in de Billboard Hot 100 op haar naam geschreven. In ons land debuteert ze met de alarmschijf Miss Independent, een nummer dat ze samen met Christina Aguilera had geschreven. De single bereikt de 9e plaats in de lijst.

Haar tweede album, Breakaway, verschijnt in 2005. Het album levert haar vier opeenvolgende top-10-hits in de Top 40, waarbij Because Of You haar eerste nummer-1-hit is. Van de daaropvolgende albums My December en All I Ever Wanted komen opnieuw drie singles in de Top 40.

Na een afwezigheid van vier jaar keert de zangeres in 2013 weer terug in de Top 40. De single Underneath The Tree is afkomstig van haar zesde studioalbum, Wrapped In Red, waarop alleen kerstnummers staan. Met een totaal van 10 hits scoorde de zangeres 9 keer de Alarmschijf.

Begin 2014 laat de zangeres weten te werken aan haar zevende studioalbum, Piece By Piece, dat in 2015 verschijnt. Van dat album is Heartbeat Song een track die in de Tipparade terecht weet te komen. In het najaar van 2015 verschijnt Second Hand Heart, een duet dat ze opneemt met de winnaar van de Britse X Factor, Ben Haenow.

Tijdens American Idol zingt ze in 2016 het nummer Piece By Piece terwijl de tranen over haar wangen biggelen. Het nummer weet zoveel indruk te wekken dat ze volop in de belangstelling komt te staan. De Idol-versie wordt een dag later uitgebracht.

Songtekst

You know the bed feels warmer.
Sleeping here alone(sleeping here alone)
You know I dream in color and do the things I want.
You think you got the best of me.
Think you had the last laugh.
Bet you think that everything good is gone.
Think you leaved me broken down.
Think that I come running back.
Baby you don't know me cause your dead wrong.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter.
Footsteps even lighter.
Doesn't mean I'm over cause your gone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

You heard that I was starting over with someone new.
They told you that I was moving on over you...
Didn't think that I come back, I come back swinging.
You tried to break me but you see...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter.
Footsteps even lighter.
Doesn't mean I'm over cause your gone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

Thanks to you I got a new thing started.
Thanks to you I'm not the brokenhearted.
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me.
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning. In The end....

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter.
Footsteps even lighter.
Doesn't mean I'm over cause your gone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Stand a little taller.
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
When I'm alone.......
