"Because of You" is the fourth single from Breakaway, the second album by pop singer Kelly Clarkson.

The single was co-written by Clarkson, Ben Moody, and David Hodges, and co-produced by Moody and Hodges. The song is one of Clarkson's most personal songs as she originally wrote the song when she was only sixteen years old to deal with her emotional pain of the time. Clarkson has stated that although she has grown to overcome her pain through God, she still can relate to the pain of the song. Years later when she met Ben Moody and David Hodges, Clarkson met them and asked if they could write songs with her. She asked them to help her polish "Because of You", but understood if they didn't like the song, and wanted to write a new song with her. Instead, the two of them were impressed with the song, and together they helped polish it into its final form. In this emotional autobiographical anthem, Clarkson laments her troubled family life as she sings: "Because of you, I find it hard to trust, not only me, but everyone around me, because of you I am afraid. Because of you".
