Kelly Clarkson: Heartbeat Song
Kelly Clarkson: Invincible
"Piece By Piece" dives into Clarkson's personal life, as she opens up about her father who left her family when she was a young girl before comparing him to her newfound love, husband and daughter River Rose.
"And all I remember is your back / Walking toward the airport, leaving us all in the past / I traveled 1500 miles to see you / Begged you to want me but you didn't want to / But piece by piece, he collected me / Up off the ground when you were bending things / Piece by piece he filled the holes you left in me at six years old," Clarkson sings with notable emotion, against a marching snare drum.
Clarkson praises Blackstock, saying that he loves her for who she is and for her family, not for her money.
All at once, the song is a biting burn at Clarkson's father (whom she also took on in "Because of You") and a loving ode to what a husband and parent should be. Clarkson pulls it off not because of the personal nature of the song, but because of how much she sells her message.
