It was hard," she said."My producer and I were laughing yesterday because I was like, 'Remember that time we wrote, like, 25 songs in a week?' A lot of those are the ones that are on the album. I literally wrote most of these almost two years ago.
In 2021, Clarkson released her Christmas album,"When Christmas Comes Around..." and in 2017, she took fans on a wild ride with her eighth studio album,"Meaning of Life." "That’s why taking this summer was so important to me, even though a lot of people were kind of bummed because I was supposed to do a couple of things. Obviously, I stepped down on 'The Voice' this season, because I just needed the space," she said.
