"And it's all about trying to break that cycle, but it's a very hard thing to do it turns out," she admitted. "I had no idea that this song would relate to... It's actually unfortunate how relatable it is I guess to people, but I had to fight like h--- to get it on my record,"

"They didn't want it on the first record. They were like, 'This is a horrible song. It doesn't rhyme.' I fought for it really hard for the second album and it ended up being on there and then it ended up being number one worldwide," Clarkson announced at the time.

Life & Style spoke to a source about Clarkson and Blackstock being "more amicable."
