Background and Release
During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Clarkson revealed that "Mr. Know It All" was the last song recorded by her on February 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee. At the live single event, Clarkson then stated that the reason she picked the song as the first single because "it was unlike any other song that I really ever came up with." She later added that "Secondly, just because it's very different from a first single for me. Usually we go with an anthem, guitar-driven song. This is very different... It's just super sassy and it sets up the album nicely," such as "Never Again" (2007) and "My Life Would Suck Without You" (2009). On August 17, 2011, Clarkson revealed that the first single will be "Mr. Know It All," which was set to be released late August. On August 26, 2011, the song leaked online. On August 30, 2011, at 5:30 PM ET, the song was played during a live webcast Clarkson hosted on her official website. The song was available as a digital download from September 5, 2011. Fans who pre-ordered Stronger on Clarkson's official store will get the single for free upon its September 5 release. Clarkson recorded an acoustic version of the song for her second extended play iTunes Session in December 2011. In April 2012, a country version of the song produced by Dan Huff was released.
