Background

"I Do Not Hook Up" was written and composed by Katy Perry, Kara DioGuardi, and Greg Wells. [1] The song was originally penned by Perry for a studio album made between Katy Hudson and One of the Boys but it never materialized and she gave this song, and "Long Shot" to Clarkson's label to be used in her fourth studio album All I Ever Wanted (2009). [2] It was produced and programmed by Howard Benson, who with Jamie Muhoberac provided the keyboards featured on the track. [1] Mike Plotnikoff was the engineer behind recording the song, which took place at three different studios in California: Bay7 Studios in Valley Village, Sparky Dark Studio in Calabasas, and Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood. [1] Graham Hope assisted Plotnikoff at Sunset Sound Studios in recording "I Do Not Hook Up". [1] Instrumentation featured on the song, besides keyboards, includes the drums, bass, and guitars, which were performed by musicians Josh Freese, Paul Bushnell, and Phil X respectively. [1] "I Do Not Hook Up" was released as the second single from All I Ever Wanted (2009). It was released to Russian radio on March 31, 2009, as the second single off the album. [3] RCA Records serviced the song to contemporary hit radios on the week of April 14, 2009 in the United States. [4]

Composition

"I Do Not Hook Up" is a melodic dance-rock and power pop song with a length of 3:20 (3 minutes and 20 seconds). [5] [6] The song is built around a muscular rock arrangement that is accompanied by danceable beats, guitar riff and strong vocals. [2] [7] According to the digital music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by EMI Music Publishing, it is written in the key of E major. [8] The song is set in common time a follows a moderately fast tempo of 144 beats per minute. [8] Clarkson's vocals ranged from B3 to an E5. [8] Chuck Campbell of Boulder Daily Camera describes the song as "another flurry of almost desperate, albeit effective, rock/dance mania." [5] Lyrically, "I Do Not Hook Up" is about keeping a healthy and romantic relationship alive. It has been viewed as a feisty independent-woman anthem by music critics. [9] [10] Other critics felt that the song's lyrics promote chastity. [11] [12] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times defines the song's lyrics to be about falling for an addict and dangling love as a tool for recovery. [13]

Critical reception

Billboard's Kerri Mason, in her review of the album, comments that "she enunciates the heck out of two tunes co-written by Perry." [14] Bill Lamb of About.com praised the song's hook, chorus and Clarkson's voice, writing that they take the record to the next level. He was dismissive of the song's arrangement, describing it as "standard rock". Lamb gave "I Do Not Hook Up" a four-star rating, stating that "Kelly Clarkson proves she knows her way all around a melodic rock song, and you will find yourself singing along." [2] Ann Powers, a writer for Los Angeles Times , commented that it "should be heard by every teen girl contemplating chucking her purity ring." [15] The Harvard Crimson writer Olivia S. Pei finds "I Do Not Hook Up" as a refreshing change from music like Katy Perry's single "I Kissed a Girl" ( One of the Boys , 2008), while noting irony in the fact that Perry co-wrote the single. [7] Pei also adds that "I Do Not Hook Up" and "My Life Would Suck Without You" show off Clarkson's vocal versatility, but fails to make up for the absence of creative rhythms. [7] Matt Busekroos of The Quinnipiac Chronicle commented that Clarkson adds more to the Perry-penned tracks "with her voice and revamped studio production." [16]

Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a four-star rating, praising the song as "a giddy power-pop nugget with a Haribo buzz of a chorus." Levine also praised Clarkson's vocal abilities, commenting that she "tears into the anti-one night stand lyrics with gusto." [6] A writer for Female First described the single as "a feisty anthem with a catchy guitar riff and chorus, which Kelly bellows out with her amazing voice. After just one listen you find yourself already singing along." [17] Blake Solomon, a writer for AbsolutePunk , praised the recording as a forceful pop song reminiscent of Clarkson's earlier singles from her second studio album, Breakaway (2004), writing that it relies on a massive chorus that will "destroy radio as we know it" but comments that it is "less serious and dancey as hell." [18] Patrick Ferrucci of The New Haven Register praised it as a "fiery and empowering anthem for young females". [12] Lisa Norman of This is Nottingham labeled "I Do Not Hook Up" as one of the album's highlights. [19] Allmusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine also listed it as a highlight of All I Ever Wanted, writing that she "sounds impassioned and invested in these numbers, selling every one of the skyscraper hooks, but better still she sounds relatable, pulling listeners into a song instead of keeping them at a distance." [20] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine comments that "it doesn't say much that her take on "I Do Not Hook Up" improves on Perry's original demo version." [21] Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen praised the song as a "spitfire mix of melody and crashing guitars" and described it as "one of the most raucous odes to chastity in recent memory." [11] On March 5, 2013, Billboard ranked the song #45 in its list of Top 100 American Idol Hits of All Time. [22]

Chart performance

Music video

The music video was directed by Bryan Barber and was shot on March 25, 2009 in Los Angeles. [35] A 30-second preview debuted of the video on Clarkson's official website. Clarkson revealed to Access Hollywood the plot of the video:"I go into fantasy mode. So the girl that’s a good girl, in her fantasy, she’s always hooking up. I’m throwing guys around". [36] The video was supposed to be released on April 20 on MTV. [37] Clarkson stated in the Access Hollywood interview that there are three guys for her in the video, but in the final version of the video there are only two, meaning that the fantasy with the third man was cut off from the video. The video begins with Clarkson at a social event where she is bored and gets excited just as she sees a handsome waiter. She imagines seducing him, right on the table, and imagines the two kissing. Soon after, she realizes that was only her imagination and a guy that is sitting next to her says that "the strawberry is delicious" while eating the chocolate covered strawberry. In the second scene, Clarkson is at a bar with her friends enjoying and watching the guys in place. They then have the idea of dancing on the counter, to call attention. It's there that Clarkson slips and falls on the floor, but she quickly gets up and gives a happy scream. (Making reference to a scene of Cameron Diaz in the movie What Happens in Vegas ). In the end, she says the final phrase of the video by holding the guy she was interested in and winks for the camera. It then shows her and her friends laughing at what they could do. There are also scenes where Clarkson is singing the song with her band on stage. [38]

The music video of Clarkson's 2011 single "Mr. Know It All" also features Clarkson watching snippets of the "I Do Not Hook Up" music video on a Sony Google TV.

Kelly Brianne is an American singer, songwriter, television personality, and author. She rose to fame after winning the first season of American Idol in 2002, which earned her a record deal with RCA Records. Her debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard Hot 100, and became the country's best-selling single of 2002. It was included on her debut studio album, Thankful (2003), which entered the Billboard 200 at number one, and also yielded the top-10 single "Miss Independent". Trying to reinvent her image, Clarkson parted ways with Idol management and shifted to pop rock for her second studio album, Breakaway (2004). Supported by four US top-ten singles – the title track, "Since U Been Gone", "Behind These Hazel Eyes", and "Because of You" – Breakaway sold over 12 million copies worldwide and won two Grammy Awards.

It is an uptempo pop rock and power pop power ballad that infuses electronic sounds with a mixture of a soft and loud pop rock sound. Martin originally wrote "Since U Been Gone" with Pink in mind, but she turned it down. It was then given to Hilary Duff, but she rejected the song because she could not reach its higher notes. The song was finally given to Clarkson after Clive Davis convinced the writers to give it to her. Clarkson decided to add heavier guitars and harder drums to the song after noticing that the demo had an obvious pop sound. Lyrically, the song is written from a woman's point of view where she expresses her sense of relief with the end of her troubled relationship.
