Have Kelly Clarkson written BreakAway

Answer 1

Kelly Clarkson did not write the song "Breakaway." The song was originally written by Avril Lavigne, Bridget Benenate, and Matthew Gerrard in 2001. Avril Lavigne recorded a demo but decided not to include it on her album because she felt it sounded too much like a “church song.” Later, the song was given to Kelly Clarkson, who recorded it for The Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack in 2004. Clarkson’s version became very popular and was included on her album also called Breakaway. Avril has praised Kelly’s performance, saying she did an incredible job with the song.

Answer 2

If you're referring to the song "Breakaway," no, Kelly did not write it. Avril Lavigne wrote that song, and Kelly liked "Breakaway" because she identified with the lyrics - growing up in a small town, etc. If you're talking about the album "Breakaway," Kelly did write some of the songs. She wrote "Behind These Hazel Eyes," "Because Of You" (she wrote it when she was only 16), "Addicted," "Walk Away," "Where Is Your Heart," and "Hear Me." That's half of the album!
