Overview

• Kelly Clarkson's new single, 'Where Have You Been,' was globally released on May 2, following its early debut on her SiriusXM channel, The Kelly Clarkson Connection.
• The song was inspired by Martin Short's dialogue to Meryl Streep in Hulu's 'Only Murders in the Building,' where his character asks, 'Where have you been?'
• Clarkson described the track as a joyful ballad about finding something rare and unexpected, likening it to a 'unicorn.'
• The lyrics also weave in references to pop-culture films like 'It's Complicated' and 'The Notebook,' adding layers of intertextuality.
• This release continues Clarkson's history of collaborations with actor-musicians, including Steve Martin, who played banjo on her 2023 track 'I Hate Love.'
