Kelly Clarkson's Latest Single 'I'd Be Lyin': A Sarcastic Anthem of Empowerment
Kelly Clarkson has recently dropped her latest single, "I'd Be Lyin'," which marks her first release of 2026 and follows her 2025 hit, "Where Have You Been." The song release coincides with Clarkson's ongoing "Studio Sessions" residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, with multiple performances scheduled through mid-August.
In "I'd Be Lyin'," Clarkson explores the frustration of being misunderstood and the temptation to only say what others want to hear to avoid lying. The track draws inspiration from Prince, featuring a punchy, rhythmic style in the verses and a pop-rock chorus that echoes the empowering anthems that have defined Clarkson's career. Describing the song as "very sarcastic," Clarkson expressed her enjoyment in recording it.
The single is expected to lead Clarkson's upcoming 11th studio album, although specific details about the album have not been revealed yet. Following her 2023 album, Chemistry, which delved into the emotional aftermath of her divorce, Clarkson continues to make music independently after parting ways with Atlantic Records.
Amidst her music endeavors, Clarkson is also gearing up to wrap up The Kelly Clarkson Show after its seventh season and will return as a coach for Season 30 of The Voice. Fans can check out the official visualizer for "I'd Be Lyin'" and stream the single to enjoy Clarkson's latest musical offering.
