On January 12th, 2015, Kelly Clarkson put out Heartbeat Song as the lead single off her 7th studio album 'Piece By Piece'

 

The song received moderate success on charts around the world. 
 

In her native US, it peaked at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it Kelly's 16th top 40 hit. 
 

It entered the top 10 on official charts of countries such as UK (#7), South Africa (#4), Iceland (#6), Austria (#3) and Slovenia (#10). 

 

The jam achieved its highest peak of any country with #3 in Scotland.

I LOVE this song, I think it made totally sense to be the lead single, since it feels like a smooth progression from her previous work to this new one. Maybe I will revisit the album.

LOVE kelly, she's one of my favs, i was at the PBP tour in LA front row when she announced her 2nd pregnancy, this song however, is one of her worst songs tbh, never liked it.

Yes ! It got a nom for 'Best Pop Solo Performance' in 2016.

 

One thing about Kelly is she's always getting love in the Pop field at the Grammys

Love her, but this is one of her worst songs  

 

Someone, Piece by Piece, Let Your Tears Fall from the same album >>

I refuse to believe that anything released in 2015 is now a decade old

A bop, wish it smashed harder! The first minute of it the Music Video is so melodramatic though, I can't help but laugh 

[Nightingale]

I can't believe it's been 10 years. I still remember waiting for this like it was yesterday and everyone being disappointed when it finally dropped. It grew so much on me and was a fun song

[naval23]

Her last bop I fear

I'm lowkey suprised it didn't go top 10 in the US. It's a very commercial radio friendly single and fitted with the musical landscape of 2015.

 

Maybe that's what Kelly was talking about when she hinted that she was victim of ageism from radio stations. And we know that airplay can affect chart peaks. She was 32 when Heartbeat Song came out so it's not too far fetched to think that.
