About Heartbeat Song

"Heartbeat Song" is a song by American singer Kelly Clarkson from her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece (2015). Written by Mitch Allan, Audra Mae, Kara DioGuardi, and Jason Evigan, the song is an uptempo synthpop track produced by Greg Kurstin. Lyrically, it sings of meeting a person who restores someone's faith in love. Inspired by 1980s synthpop music, "Heartbeat Song" was released by RCA Records as the album's lead single on January 12, 2015. "Heartbeat Song" was released to a positive response from music critics, who complimented the song's production and praised Clarkson's decision to return to mainstream pop music. Other critics, however, noted the strong resemblance the song's melody bore to that of Jimmy Eat World's single "The Middle" (2001), which later allowed the band to be credited as additional songwriters. Commercially, the single debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 37 and has peaked at number 21, marking Clarkson's sixteenth top 40 hit on the chart. It also became her fifth song to top the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and marked as her highest debut among her twenty career entries on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart. Internationally, it became a top ten hit single in Austria, Poland, South Africa and the United Kingdom while also becoming a top 20 hit in the national charts of the Czech Republic, Germany, Mexico, Slovakia and Sweden.

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

You, where the hell did you come from?
You were a different, different kind of fun
And still used to feel it now
Now, I got pins and needles on my tongue
Anticipating what's to come
Like a finger on a loaded gun

I can feel it rising
Temperature inside me
Haven't felt for a long time

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

I, I wasn't even gonna go out
But I never would have had a doubt
If I don't know where I'd be know

Your hands on my hips
And my kiss on your lips
And I could do this for a long time

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

Until tonight I only dreamed about you
I can't believe I'll ever breathe without you
Baby you make me feel alive and brand new
Bring it one more time, one more time

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long

This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it
Turn it on
But I know you can take it up up up up all night
Oh up up all night long
