Writing
In June 2004, Clarkson expressed her intentions to collaborate with co-Idol Fantasia Barrino, who were both at the time expected to record an album. Clarkson wrote some of the tracks featured in the album with assistance from former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody. She said, " is like the first CD in the sense that it's versatile, but it's more into the rock. It's more into the soulful roots, and it's just a little bit deeper."
The album's title track was written by Canadian pop-rock singer Avril Lavigne, along with Matthew Gerrard, and Bridget Benenate. Originally, Clarkson recorded "Breakaway" to tide fans over until September 2004 when the supposed lead single of the album would hit the airwaves.
