A few days ago we were tantalized by a 30-second clip of Kelly Clarkson’s new single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", and now New York radio station z100.com (among other places) has the full version. And wow, does it deliver — it’s wilder than Drew Barrymore’s hair at the Golden Globes. "Suck" is a driving, pulsing, "get out of your chair and dance around the room pronto" anthem to love, contrition, and blissful co-dependence. As Kelly sings: "I know that I have issues, but you’re really messed up too/Either way I found out, I’m nothing without you". Plus, there’s a totally kicking guitar solo. Check out the full song below and let us know what you think. Is it everything you want out of a Kelly Clarkson song? And for all of you conspiracy theorists out there, do you think her people planned to leak it on the same day that season 8 of American Idol debuts on Fox?

I just listened to it and I LOVE IT!!! Kelly is back!!!
This is what I like to hear from Kelly. Can’t wait for the album!
LOVE. I’ve had it on repeat all morning. I do think it was time to coincide with American Idol, but I don’t really have a problem with that.
welcome back kelly….. my december was amazing, but i hope this shoots you back to the top
OMG NOOOOOOOO IM AT WORK I CANT HEAR IT YET~ OMG I CANT WAIT TO GET HOME NOW. IM ADDICTED TO HER YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!!!
I have every album i have every magazine she has been on the cover all the tickets stubs from all the concerts i have seen her at i have her autograph!!!
I just need to meet her….
Brilliant!
Awesome!!!
I love the song! I keep pressing play over and over again because it’s so catchy! It probably is to coincide with American Idol but they had a nice rollout of the song from showing the cover first, then the lyrics, then a snippet, and finally the full song! I think she should be one of the mentors on American Idol this season- that would coincide with the release of her album too!
As much as I love love loved “My December”, I’m glad she’s headed back toward the mainstream. This is good music! Very catchy. I’m sure we’ll be hearing on the radio.
Great song !
I can see a hit coming…
Kelly rocks !
Really, really weak, craven attempt to replicate ‘Since U’ve been gone’ pop magic. Can’t blame ‘em for trying, but nowhere near as hot a track.
This song is amazing! I love Kelly so much and I cannot wait for the album! My December was awesome but hopefully this will shut up all those non believers!
It’s ok…. it’s defintely catchy. It sounds like “Since U Been Gone” part 2, though.
Stale, trite and boring.
To quote Randy, “It was alright.” Nothing special, kinda redundant, nodded off a couple of times during the song.
I love Kelly. This does no justice to her voice. Eh. Honestly, it sounds like something a Disney teen star would record.
Did Rivers Cuomo write this crap? This sounds like sucky-era Weezer.
It’s amazing! I loved My December but I’m glad Kelly’s going to be back on radio again. “Suck” isn’t groundbreaking in any way, but it’s one of the best pure pop songs I’ve heard in ages. Smash hit for sure!
girly pop. yay! she doesn’t sound bitter. its mos def a scream at the top of your lungs on the road type of song.
yes I like it!
Great New single…I hope she’ll have critically acclaimed hits after this. this seems to be the fan catcher to reclaim her position back, then she’ll be releasing super duper great songs like thos of Because of You…: ) I hope 2009 is Kelly’s year!
I love Kelly. The new song is good and think it will be a radio hit.
Love the beat, and Kelly’s voice sounds awesome…but those lyrics sound like they were written by a 12-year-old! Sheesh! I’m just going to enjoy the music and try to ignore the writing…
it is catchy as hell….nice to hear kelly is back and getting the (right) attention for it!
Kelly Clarkson plus a kicking hot song equals sheer bliss. I am one happy camper today.
Ugh, no. Is this is some reject song from “Breakaway”? It sounds dated to me. Go back to the studio Kelly. I’ve never been a big fan of hers, but admit to enjoying a few of her songs. This is not one of them. Maybe they’ll do an awesome remix to make up for it.
OMG, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song. Kelly is the BEST and this will be a huge smash!
It’s ok
Kelly is back! I missed that girl so much! This songs rocks!
It’s Kelly, Of course it’s awesome!
