Kelly Clarkson has premiered the video for her latest "Stronger" album anthem, "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)." The title track and the second single from Clarkson's fifth studio album fits in with many of the powerhouse singer's previous empowerment-themed, Miss Independent tunes. We hear the songstress confidently tell her former beau. The clip sees Clarkson rocking out with her band and her devotees showing off their best dance moves in a flash mob.
The song was inspired by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche quotation, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." Clarkson said the inspiring dance anthem reminded her of one of her own all-time favorites. "That'll be the one [that's] kinda like 'Since U Be Gone,' [with] people jumping up and down to [it], and it's just kind of really inspiring, so I can't wait to perform that one." The song's lyrics mainly explores the themes of empowerment, and the best of all is "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)," is a throbbing glitter-disco tribute to believing that it really does get better.
The follow-up to lead single "Mr. Know It All," is just as powerful and uplifting as any of Clarkson's smash hits, and the visuals for the new single definitely do the song justice! The 29-year-old stages a global flash mob in the Shane Drake-directed video, using footage submitted by her fans! The original 'American Idol' encouraged fans to be a part of the experience when she posted an instructional dance video with the choreography to be featured in the new visuals and encouraged her fans to submit their own interpretation of the routine.
Like some of her previous videos, the clip is half Clarkson on a stage, full attitude with the microphone, sassily walking around singing her story. The other half explains how she's been wronged: In this case, the story is essentially a giant "It Gets Better/Can't Hold Us Down" dance-off the world over. Everybody is getting stronger all over the place and whether it's an exercise class, the beach, or Times Square, it's the perfect place to let loose and move on. It's "Since U Been Gone" round two. Clarksons got your back.
