"Behind These Hazel Eyes" is a song by American pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson. It was written by Clarkson with Dr. Luke and Max Martin and produced by the latter two. It was officially sent to radio stations on April 12, 2005, as the third single of Clarkson's sophomore album, Breakaway. Clarkson considered "Behind These Hazel Eyes" as one of her favourite songs and she once intended to name her album after the song. "Behind These Hazel Eyes" is an uptempo pop rock song that incorporates crunchy guitars which are pulsated with driving beats and anthemic choruses. It narrates Clarkson's broken relationship with her ex-boyfriend. Although the pain is unbearable, she is determined that he will not get the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Upon released as a single, critics speculated that the song reflected Clarkson's broken relationship with her former boyfriend, David Hodges.

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" received generally positive reviews from critics who considered the song as a decent follow-up to Clarkson's previous single, "Since U Been Gone. Critics also lauded Clarkson's vocal ability which simmers alongside the steroid-charged musical backdrop that is fun, fast and furious. Commercially, "Behind These Hazel" was success in the United States; it peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became Clarkson's first song to top Adult Contemporary chart. It was certified platinum from Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over one million digital downloads. Elsewhere, the song charted inside the top ten in Austria, Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Joseph Kahn and produced by Danyi Deats-Barrett. The concept of the video was conceived by Clarkson which depicts her as a bride who experiences some dream-like hints that her husband-to-be is having an affair with a brunette ceremony attendee. The music video had a successful run at Total Request Live; it spent 33 days at number one on the chart which is the longest stay by a female artist. The song was performed live by Clarkson at numerous venues, including the Breakaway World Tour (2006) and the All I Ever Wanted Tour (2009).

[edit] Background and writing

On 2004, Clarkson flew to Sweden to collaborate with Max Martin and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald for her album, Breakaway.[1] Clarkson and Martin were interested in turning in a more rock direction away from the pop music with which they were identified. The songs "Since U Been Gone" as well as "Behind These Hazel Eyes" were the products of their collaboration.[1] In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Clarkson explains that "Behind These Hazel Eyes" is "about the dipstick who completely screwed up and now is unhappy and you're happy."[1] She also considered the song as one of her favourites that she once intended to name her album after the song.[2] Critics speculated that the song reflects Clarkson's break-up with David Hodges, the ex-member of Evanescence. According to MTV, the song was originally written prior to the break-up. Nonetheless, Clarkson decided to tweak the song lyrics after breaking up with Hodges to express her emotional pain.[3] Clarkson also said that the song almost did not make it into the album.[4] She explained, "It had different lyrics in the beginning [...] I ended up calling Luke [Lukasz Gottwald], the writer, and we did a totally different song to it. It's now my favorite song on the record. Crappy relationships [make for] a good song."[4] The song was officially sent to radio stations on April 12, 2005,[5] as the third single of Clarkson's sophomore album, Breakaway.[6]

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" was written by Clarkson, Max Martin, and Dr. Luke and was produced by the latter two.[7] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, it is set in common time and has a moderate tempo of 90 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of F sharp minor with Clarkson's vocal range spanning over two octaves from F#3 to A5.[8] The song begins with Clarkson wailing "oh oh oh" over a restless percussion.[9] In the first verse, the music becomes quiet to focus on Clarkson's vocal as she wails "Seems like just yesterday/You were a part of me/I used to stand so tall/I used to be so strong/Your arms around me tight/Everything it felt so right/Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong."[9] During chorus, the sound of electronic guitar is dominant as she vocalizes "Here I am/Once again/I’m torn into pieces/Can’t deny it/Can’t pretend/Just thought you were the one/Broken up deep inside/But you won’t get to see the tears I cry/Behind these hazel eyes."[9] Gil Kaufman of MTV noticed that the song "soared on crunchy guitars, driving beats and anthemic, agitated choruses."[10]

Lyrically, the song narrates the story of a failed relationship which initially started off well. Clarkson regrets having allowed herself to be vulnerable to him and she is determined that despite the pain that she feels, he will not get the satisfaction of seeing her cry.[11] Michael Paoletta of Billboard praised Clarkson's vocal, writing "Clarkson simply delivers a loose, tour-de-force vocal that simmers alongside a steroid-charged musical backdrop that is fun, fast and furious."[12] Scott Juba of The Trade praised the production of the song, writing "The song’s strong hook pulls listeners in and involves them in the lyrics without ever becoming gimmicky or manipulative." He also complimented Clarkson's vocal which "oscillates between pain and defiance with near pinpoint accuracy."[13]

[edit] Critical reception

Critics thought that "Behind These Hazel Eyes" showcases Clarkson's vocal prowess.

Elizabeth Scott of Sky Living praised the song, writing "while Clarkson is doing well musically, her love life still hasn't picked up and she is heartbroken once again. I'm sure the thought of another top ten hit might cheer her up!"[14] Scott Juba of The Trades considered "Behind These Hazel Eyes" as the highlight of the album, writing "Now that [Clarkson is] a few years older than she was when she recorded her first album, she brings more authenticity to relationship songs."[13] Ewan Sawdey of PopMatters compared "Don't Let Me Stop You" (2009) with "Behind These Hazel Eyes" saying that the former "may sound like another rewrite of an older Clarkson hit (in this case, "Behind These Hazel Eyes"), but the observational lyrics about a questionable relationship are what ultimately makes the whole thing click."[15] Charles Merwin of Stylus Magazine felt that the song should sell records more because "the entire musical backing drops out to let Clarkson’s voice through to live or die on its own."[16] Pam Avoledo of Blogcritics believed that "Behind These Hazel Eyes" was superior than "Since U Been Gone" writing, "It's punchier, well-written and gives Clarkson a chance to show off her vocal skills without the trendy haughtiness."[9]

In a different perspective, Joe Cross of Cox Communications thought that "Behind These Hazel Eyes" was a decent follow-up to "Since U Been Gone" saying, "It's no "Since U Been Gone," which is just a pop-rock juggernaut, but as follow-ups go, it's not too shabby. Clarkson's down-home everything (well, mostly her looks) sells these little heartbreak haikus exceptionally well." He also listed "Behind These Hazel Eyes" as one of the 40 songs that defined the summer of 2005.[17] Maria DiLorenzo of Yahoo! ranked "Behind These Hazel Eyes" at number four in her list of "Top Ten Kelly Clarkson Song of the Decade," writing "Beautiful crooning and yes once again an elegant old world romantic video to go along with it. You have no choice but to be enamored by the combination."[18] Chris Kal of WKNS ranked "Behind These Hazel Eyes" at number four in his list of "Top 10 Summer Songs From 2005."[19] Sam Lamsky of PopCrush described the song as "a surefire fan favorite" and ranked it at number nine in his list of "Top 10 Kelly Clarkson songs."[2] Bill Lamb of About.com put the song at number 62 on his list of "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2005".[20] At the 24th ASCAP Pop Music Awards, the song was honoured with the Most Performed Songs award.[21] On January 2010, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" was the fifth most played song of the last decade by American Idol performers.[22] The song was nominated in the category for Song of the Year: Mainstream Hit Radio in the 2005 Radio Music Awards.[23]

It became the 16th best selling single of the 2000s decade on the Pop Songs chart complied by Billboard.[32] On January 31, 2008, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[33] According to Nielsen SoundScan, the song has sold 1,310,000 digital copies in the United States as of April 2010.[34]

[edit] Background and release

The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn and was produced by Danyi Deats-Barrett.[40] It was shot for two days on April 2005 in Toronto sound stage while while Clarkson was on tour.[41] According to Kahn, Clarkson was sick during the production and could not speak. During Clarkson's wardrobe fitting, they communicated together using notes written by her.[42] Access Hollywood reported that a single sprinkler was used to produce rain in the music video. The concept of the music video was conceived by Clarkson. She explained, "The whole thing is a metaphor about a broken fairy tale [...] You think everything is going well, and then reality kicks your butt. It's kind of a sad video, but it's going to be my best one. It's real, and that's why people like me."[41] Clarkson also added that after the production of the music video was completed, she had bruises and a green-and-yellow splotch on her left bicep.[41] The music video premiered online on May 9, 2005, on MTV.[43] On May 16, 2005, it premiered on Total Request Live where it debuted at number five on the chart the following day.[44]

[edit] Synopsis

The music video begins with Clarkson standing in a room wearing a white wedding dress. Holding a bouquet of red rose, she is surrounded by her bridesmaids as they prepare for her wedding. She sits down on a sofa and sees a wedding photo of her fiancé with another woman as a storm begins to form outside. The bridesmaids run out of the room leaving Clarkson alone, who is seen dropping the bouquet of rose as well as the wedding photo from her hands onto the floor. The next scene shows Clarkson walking down the aisle in a church wearing a black dress. She sees a bride standing at the altar with her fiancé, getting married. When she draws the veil of the bride, she realizes that the bride is the woman from the photo. Clarkson, who is now wearing a white wedding dress, runs out of the church and into a dark swamp. A montage of Clarkson singing with her band in a dark swamp is shown alternately with scenes of Clarkson running in the forest and laying on the ground. Clarkson is also seen standing inside an abandoned house, wearing a voluminous black dress. As the rain starts to fall, Clarkson finally collapsed, kneeling on the ground while looking at and being comforted by her other self who is singing with the band. The scene shifts to a present day, where Clarkson is standing at the altar, exchanging vows with her fiancé. Before he puts the ring on her finger, she looks at the guests and notices that the woman from the photo is among the audience. She sees her fiancé exchanging a smile with the woman as the woman blows him a kiss. Clarkson then reaches for the ring and throws it at his fiancé, before running away from the altar. She throws her wedding bouquet into the lap of the woman and shoves her way past the wedding guests who are trying to stop her from leaving. The video ends with Clarkson stepping out the doors into the bright sunlight.

[edit] Receptions

James Dinh of MTV Newsroom listed "Behind These Hazel Eyes" as one of the music videos with "a bad case of the runaway bride syndrome," writing, "Throughout the clip, Clarkson finds herself running through a swampy mud land until she snaps out of her visions, refuses to proceed with the wedding and makes a shocking escape out of the church."[45] Andrea Holmes of AOL ranked "Behind These Hazel Eyes" at number five in her list of "Top Wedding Music Videos: 15 Clips for the Big 'I Do'." She commented, "The perfect illustration of our point about wedding videos, 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' takes an atypical approach to marriage [...] Throughout the video the weather is dark and rainy, matching the story line, but when Clarkson ditches the wedding and runs out of the church, she is greeted with sunshine.[46] In an interview with MTV, the lead vocalist of Yellowcard, Ryan Key, praised Clarkson in the music video. He said, "She is so unbelievably gorgeous in that video that is all over TV right now [...] The wet wedding dress and the wet hair and ... come on, man! Who knew? She is so hot. She looks so good in it."[47] The song had a successful run at Total Request Live where it topped the chart for 33 days, a record that Clarkson holds for the longest stay by a female artist at number one on the chart.[48][49]

[edit] Live performances

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" was included in the setlist of her Breakaway World Tour (2006). During her concert tour on Germain Arena, Clarkson performed the song wearing the same wedding dress she wore in the song's music video.[50] Clarkson also performed "Behind These Hazel Eyes" on her All I Ever Wanted Tour (2009). While touring at Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, Clarkson sang the stripped down version of the song, accompanied by guitars and vocal.[51] Caryn Ganz of Rolling Stone felt that Alanis' influence was evident on the chorus of "Behind These Hazel Eyes" which was performed acoustically in the event.[52] Clarkson explained that the arrangement was intended to maximize audience sing-along potential in which Jim Cantiello of MTV thought was effective.[51] On December 2011, Clarkson also performed "Behind These Hazel Eyes" on Chicago Theatre as part of the Miracle on State Street benefit concert. Bob Gendron of Chicago Tribune reviewed Clarkson's performance, writing "the Texas native could've impressed simply by projecting her booming voice and relishing its prodigious range. Yet she seemed determined to reinforce female empowerment themes often missing from her mainstream-pop contemporaries' hits."[53]
