In an interview with PEOPLE in January, Clarkson talked about how the album became an outlet for her to work through her emotions.
“I didn’t see it other than this: This is my valve. I’m a letting go person; I don’t hold anything back. So it was really digging into what happened in my life and why—and what am I going to do about it? ” she said.
“I can’t express how grateful I am to have that kind of healthy outlet,” Clarkson continued. “Because the level of depression and things that come with divorce or grieving is extremely difficult. You feel lonely and it’s a real blessing to have an outlet for those emotions that overwhelm you.”
Clarkson also revealed how she’s been on a health journey since moving to New York, mostly because of how active she’s been! She told PEOPLE that she walks a lot and eats healthier.
“I eat a healthy mix. I lost weight because I listened to my doctor – I hadn’t for several years. And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because my protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I love meat — sorry, vegetarians of the world!”

Win or lose, Clarkson is coming off a big year both personally and professionally. In November, she debuted her wispy new bangs, which seemed to symbolize many changes in her life, including the start of a successful stint in Las Vegas and her family’s move to New York.
Just before she debuted her new look, the “Since You’ve Been Gone” singer explained to PEOPLE why moving to New York was the fresh start she needed.
“I’ve been really depressed for the last three years — and maybe a little bit before that, to be honest. I think I really needed a change,” Clarkson told PEOPLE.
She continued, “I needed it for me and my family. My kids are thriving here. We’re just doing so much better and needed a fresh start.”
