The 40-year-old pop star took to Instagram on Thursday to share pointed lyrics from the track.

“Cause I don’t need somebody to scold me/ Don’t need somebody that hurts me,” she sings. “Don’t need somebody who feels weak standing next to me.”

“This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship … and a whole relationship shouldn’t be just brought down to one thing. So there’s, you know, the good, the bad and the ugly kind of thing going on in it.”

Clarkson filed for divorce from the music manager in June 2020 after seven years of marriage. Following an acrimonious two-year battle over their assets, the pair settled their divorce in March 2022.

The former couple shares daughter River, 8,…
