Piece by Piece (Kelly Clarkson song)
"Piece by Piece" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson and the titular track from her seventh studio album, ''Piece by Piece'' (2015). It was written by Clarkson with Greg Kurstin, who produced the record. A midtempo pop song about restoring someone's faith in love and family relationships, Clarkson promulgated the track as a sequel to the song "Because of You" (2004), but with a "happy ending". After a discussion with her sister about their family life, she introspectively co-wrote the song in a first-person narrative to her father, whose neglect to his family was used as a juxtaposition to her husband's unconditional love to her and their daughter, whom they both promised to never leave behind.
"Piece by Piece" was first released as the second promotional single from ''Piece by Piece'' by RCA Records on February 24, 2015. Upon its release, the title track has a received praise from music critics, who commended lyrical content as one of the album's highlights. Clarkson premiered the song in a live acoustic performance on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' and has showcased it on the set list of the Piece by Piece Tour. A remixed version of the track was released to American hot adult contemporary radio stations on November 9, 2015, as the third single from ''Piece by Piece''.
== Composition ==
One of the five songs she had written by for her seventh studio album, Clarkson co-wrote "Piece by Piece" with frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin, who produced the track. Lyrically, the song is a midtempo pop number about restoring someone's faith in love and family relationships.〔〔 The song starts with a woman's recollection of her father abandoning his family; by the chorus, she finds a new man in her life, whom she describes as someone who, "piece by piece", had restored her "faith that a man can be kind and a father could stay".〔〔 Written in a first-person narrative, Clarkson introspectively co-wrote the song to her father, whose abandonment of his family when she was six years old was utilized as a juxtaposition in contrast to her husband's unconditional love to her and their daughter, whom they had both promised in the song to never leave behind.〔〔〔〔
Clarkson pegged "Piece by Piece" as a follow-up song to her 2004 track "Because of You" and the album's "most personal" record, saying that "once you've worked through that and you find love and the kind of happiness you hoped for but didn't really know was possible. It's a happy song. And it has a happy ending, unlike "Because of You"".〔〔 She revealed that she was inspired to write it after a discussion with her sister about their relationships with their respective families.〔〔〔〔 She remarked, "I was talking to my sister on the phone about how sometimes girls with daddy issues don't find men like that!".〔 Clarkson also noted that how their husbands were so supportive and loving were in stark contrast to the cliché about people with "abandonment issues" dating "losers".〔 She also opined that "Piece by Piece" is a positive song, despite its somber resonance; also commented that she's still grateful to her father making her want to be much more present in her family.〔 Sonically, Jon Pareles of ''The New York Times'' compared it to the anthems recorded by U2.〔 While Marissa Muller of CBS Radio described its sound as having a stadium feel with big drums.〔
