Time goes by so fast, and sometimes one must take a deep breath and enjoy the moment.

Kelly Clarkson takes a step away from her usual heartbroken boy-bashing anthems for a new reflective track called “Catch My Breath.”
It’s been 10 years since Kelly won the very first American Idol, prompting her to take a minute and reflect on all of her success.
Before officially releasing “Catch My Breath,” Kelly shared a few secrets about the new track with her fans on her official site:
“It’s been a decade now since I won American Idol. Sometimes it feels longer because although it has been exciting that was a lot of pressure to have as a 19 year old girl. To own a company, lead an organization as a business woman, and be able to create music I’m proud of has been tough, but inspiring, for me. To celebrate the strength and longevity that my fans, friends, and family have supported me with I wrote this song “Catch my Breath” with one of my best friends that has seen me through everything. This song represents who I’ve been, what I’ve felt, and where I’m headed as not only an artist but as a 30 year old that is now smart enough to know that it’s time to stop, catch my breath, and be proud of not only what has been accomplished but of all the people that have helped me become the woman I am today.”

“Catching my breath, letting it go/Turning my cheek for the sake of the show/Now that you know, this is my life/I won’t be told what’s supposed to be right,” sings Kelly.
“Catch My Breath” is the first single off Kelly’s forthcoming greatest hits collection, Greatest Hits- Chapter 1, which is due out in November.
