Kelly Clarkson has stated in interviews that finding the love of her life, her husband, Brandon Blackstock, has changed her world. During this doo-wop-tinged belter she sings passionately about how beautiful true love can be. When you hold me, I finally see When you say love, I know what it means I was broke down so alone in the dark Until you showed me the light (baby)
The soulful song was originally recorded for Clarkson's 2015 album Piece by Piece, but she felt it didn't fit with the LP's other dance pop-heavy tracks. Instead, the singer kept it in her back pocket, to demonstrate to songwriters and producers the direction she wanted to take for her follow-up record, which was named after the tune. "'Meaning of Life' is the song that started this entire project," Clarkson explained. "The vibe, soul, and message of this song was very critical to show other writers and producers of the new direction we were taking."
The song was co-written by English singer-songwriter James Morrison, who has enjoyed international success under his own name with such international hits as "You Give Me Something," "Broken Strings" and "I Won't Let You Go."
