Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Low" is the second single from pop rock singer, Kelly Clarkson's debut album, Thankful, and her third overall to date.
The single was written by Jimmy Harry and produced by Clif Magness. The song is notable for being the first single in which Clarkson explores the "pop rock" element that would later define her career in singles like "Breakaway" and "Since U Been Gone", however the intro guitar riff gives the song a minor R&B element. It opens with a guitar chord strum, played backwards.
On March 5, 2013, Billboard ranked the song #87 in its list of Top 100 American Idol Hits of All Time. This song received positive reception from critics a which praised vocal performance.
The accompanying music video was directed by Antti Jokinen, who also directed Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" and "Before Your Love" videos. Jokinen explained that he wanted Clarkson "to rock and kick ass a little bit more than she normally does." He also added that, "I listened to the lyrics and there were elements of lost love and feeling low, and there are some scenes directly from that, however they are portrayed in more metaphoric terms." The music video features Clarkson driving in a car. During the chorus she is shown singing "Low" live. The car is presumably her ex's; at the end of the video she pushes it off a cliff.
