Kelly Clarkson New Video: Watch Here

Kelly Clarkson turns up the emotion in her powerful new video for “I Don’t Think About You.” The clip juxtaposes performance footage of Clarkson stunning in a dramatic black dress with images of a young girl growing up around family dysfunction.

“‘I Don’t Think About You’ is the moment you realize something has no power over you anymore,” Clarkson said. “We all have people and/or situations in life that mold us and sometimes those situations can feel like they’re about to break us, but this song is about that morning you wake up and you don’t even think about it anymore. It holds no power, no weight in your world, and consumes your thoughts no longer. It’s a song about freedom, honestly.”

“I Don’t Think About You” is taken from Clarkson’s most recent album, Meaning of Life.

Meanwhile, Clarkson recently opened up about the pressure she faced to project a “sexy” image when she was starting out in the industry.

“I was showed magazines of girls naked with guitars, and they were telling me that’s what I’m competing with, and I was like, ‘I’m not competing with that,’” Clarkson told Rolling Stone. “And they always wanted, like, the sexier songs – not even good sexy songs – because that sells.”

Early clashes with industry execs gave Clarkson a core set of operating principles. “I never record a song I don’t feel I can relate to in some sense, that I can’t make work in my world. Compromising is OK. But compromising who you are as a human is not.”

On a lighter note, Clarkson was asked if her kids knew about 2002’s From Justin to Kelly, the film she made post-American Idol. The movie has had a way of resurfacing in her life – against her wishes.

“It’s one of my nanny’s favorite movies – and I’m like, ‘I swear to God, I’ll fire you,’” she joked. “I was contractually obligated [to make it]. I didn’t want to. I show them cool stuff like, you know, Jurassic Park and Harry Potter.”
