The single is from the American Idol Season One winner's forthcoming greatest hits CD, Greatest Hits -- Chapter 1. The song is written by Clarkson, Jason Halbert and Eric Olson.

"This song represents who I’ve been, what I’ve felt, and where I’m headed as not only an artist but as a 30 year old that is now smart enough to know that it’s time to stop, catch my breath, and be proud of not only what has been accomplished but of all the people that have helped me become the woman I am today," said Clarkson in a previous statement.

Fan reaction to the track has been overwhelmingly positive, with many fans clamouring for a proper video.

"Kelly, you have done it again," wrote Shana Rodriguez. "Made a song that one can relate to. I am sure this song will be a hit. I can't wait for the video!"

"Catch My Breath" will be available for download Oct. 16. Her CD is set for a Nov. 19 release.
