Kelly Clarkson Admits 'Loser Guy' Inspired New Album

While Kelly Clarkson admits that some of her "feisty" songs are "more about [her] work environment," in an interview with MTV, the singer now reveals that there was one nasty guy -- and even nastier breakup -- that inspired much of her new album 'Stronger.'

The new album's playlist, like lead single 'Mr. Know It All' and 'Einstein' (which includes the lyrics "dumb plus dumb equals you"), are prime examples of Kelly's signature "kiss-off" anthem style. After admitting she's never been in love, and being plagued with rumors about her sexual orientation, Kelly now reveals that there is one deadbeat ex-boyfriend who inspired many of her breakup songs.

"I have been through one [breakup] that was real crappy," Clarkson admits. "I think that'll last me for a lifetime, so I'm good. That was enough sorrow for one year. So I've been through it enough to where if I have a song, I can sing about it and I know the experience."

Tell us more about said Mr. Wrong, Kelly! "He was just a really loser guy and that kind of whole situation. I was like, 'Oh, I didn't pick very good -- oops!' Just the environment, I think, as a whole wasn't a healthy situation," Clarkson recalls. "I don't know what was wrong with me. I was never in love with him. We're completely different. I don't even know why. I think that is how lonely you get sometimes, when you're like, 'Well, you don't look so bad.' That was bad, but I got a lot of songs out of it!" Well, at least the single lady is honest.

And of her longtime single status, Kelly says: "I'm convinced that I scare all men off." Highly doubtful, KC!
