Kelly Clarkson Drops New Single 'Where Have You Been' Ahead of Release

Kelly Clarkson has launched her new musical era with the single 'Where Have You Been,' marking her first non-holiday release since her 2023 album 'Chemistry.' The song premiered exclusively on her SiriusXM channel, The Kelly Clarkson Connection, a day before its worldwide release, generating excitement and some frustration among fans struggling to access the track early.
