Kelly Clarkson has changed the lyrics to ‘Piece by Piece’ to reflect her split from Brandon Blackstock.
Kelly Clarkson has changed her song lyrics
The 41-year-old pop star recently performed the amended version of the track during her Las Vegas residency, and Kelly explained the meaning behind the change to the audience.
The singer – who was married to Brandon between 2013 and 2021 – said: “This song I initially wrote just super hopeful, right? And well, sometimes hopeful turns into hopeless, so here we go, ‘Piece by Piece’.”
The song is a sequel to Kelly’s 2004 hit single ‘Because of You’, which focuses on the pain that absent parenting caused her.

On the original version of ‘Piece by Piece’, Kelly sang: “He never walks away / He never asks for money / He takes care of me / He loves me.”
But on the amended version of the track, she sang: “I just walk away / when they ask for money / I take care of me / ’cause I love me.”
Meanwhile, Kelly previously revealed that her kids continue to “dream” that she’ll reunite with her ex-husband.
The singer – who has Remy, seven, and River, eight, with Brandon – revealed that her children continue to hope for a reconciliation.
Kelly told the ‘We Can Do Hard Things’ podcast: “Your kids will still have a hard time. It doesn’t matter if you stay, it doesn’t matter if you go, I am still having conversations [with my kids] three years later.
“My kids just came back from my ex and any time there’s mention of maybe him being with somebody else … they are just really adamant about keeping that dream alive that we might still be together one day.”
