Kelly Clarkson is back with new music!
The 44-year-old “Since U Been Gone” pop-rock powerhouse just dropped her new track “I’d Be Lyin’” on Friday (July 17), co-written and co-produced alongside collaborators Jason Halbert and Jaco Caraco.
“I’d be lyin’ if I said I do / You’re hearin’ only what you’re wantin’ to / I take a shot every time you lie / I’ve never been so damn drunk in my life,” she sings.
What is the meaning of Kelly Clarkson’s new song “I’d Be Lyin’”?
During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Connection on SiriusXM, she explained the meaning of the new track.
“So basically my new song, ‘I’d Be Lyin’,’ is about when you’re talking to someone and it’s like what you’re saying is somehow being filtered because it’s not what they’re hearing. And if I just leaned in and just said what they wanted to hear, I would be lying,” Kelly said.
“The vibe in the verse is kind of, it’s not like Prince, but it’s definitely Prince-inspired with the staccato kind of poppiness of it. It has a lot of attitude, and then the chorus kind of opens up into this major pop-rock vibe that is very reminiscent of a Kelly Clarkson empowerment anthem. But yeah, it’s very sarcastic and it was fun as hell to make, and I like a fun, anthemic, sarcastic song, as you probably know.”
“I’d Be Lyin’” is Kelly’s first new single since 2025’s “Where Have You Been.”
