Kelly Clarkson Looks Back On Past Relationships With New Single
“Roses” is a mid-tempo pop track that delves into the aftermath of a romance that has reached its breaking point. The Grammy-winning singer doesn’t mince words as she declares that there are “ain’t enough roses” to salvage what once was. Throughout the song, her vocal prowess shines brightly, conveying the depth of emotion she invests in every word.
In the chorus of “Roses,” Clarkson sings about the end of a relationship. She realizes that the relationship is beyond repair and that there is no point in trying to save it. The verses of the song are equally heart-wrenching, as she laments the loss of love and connection. The lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the gradual erosion of love in a relationship.
Clarkson released her tenth studio album, Chemistry, in June, and it quickly soared to No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The upcoming deluxe version of the album boasts a total of 22 tracks, including five new additions, a live version, and a remix of her song “Mine.” Notably, one song, “You Don’t Make Me Cry,” features her daughter River Rose, demonstrating the deep bond they share.
Clarkson’s personal life has been marked by significant changes, notably her divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2020 after almost seven years of marriage. The couple, parents to River Rose and Remington Alexander, finalized their divorce in May of the following year. Clarkson has been candid about the impact of the separation on her perception of love, particularly when discussing it with her children.
