Kelly Clarkson is eyeing up 'Medicine' to be a single.

The pop icon released her incredible eighth album Meaning Of Life in October, with 'Love So Soft' and 'Move You' as a double single, and she's wanting to keep the tempo up for its next release.

While performing at Mix 94.1's Not So Silent Night concert in Las Vegas at the weekend, she told fans that 'Medicine' will "probably" be the follow-up to the funky banger 'Love So Soft'.

And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport
Leaving us all in your past

I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you

Begged you to want me
But you didn't want to

But piece by piece, he collected me
Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
And piece by piece, he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old

And you know, he never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay

And all of your words fall flat

I made something of myself
And now you wanna come back

But your love, it isn't free
It has to be earned
Back then I didn't have anything you needed
So I was worthless

But piece by piece, he collected me
Up off the ground where you abandoned things
And piece by piece, he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old

And you know, he never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
'Cause he loves me

Piece by piece,he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay

Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece

Piece by piece
I fell far from the tree
I would never leave her like you left me
She will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you, I'm gonna put her first
And you know, he'll never walk away
He'll never break her heart
He'll take care of things
He'll love her
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father should be great

Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece

This is great news as 'Medicine' is an immediate standout from the album: a sassy, soulful kiss-off brimming with Clarkson's personality, and she gives one hell of a vocal performance.

There are plenty of potential singles on the album but this one is arguably the most immediate and has all the ingredients of a signature Kelly Clarkson anthem.

The next single will most likely come after Christmas but it's exciting to know that the 'Breakaway' singer is already thinking ahead.

Kelly was honoured with the Powerhouse award at Billboard's Women In Music event last week, where she performed a stunning rendition of her LP's title track 'Meaning Of Life'.

Elsewhere, the legendary singer is featured on Spotify's new holiday album featuring Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and more, with a gorgeous performance of her Christmas original 'Christmas Eve'.

Everybody's happy
Snow is falling down
Prayers are being answered
Miracles all around
From afar I've loved you
But never let it show
And every year another
December comes and goes

Always watching
Never reaching
But...

This Christmas
I'm gonna risk it all
This Christmas
I'm not afraid to fall
So I'm at your door with nothing more
Than words I've never said
In all this white, you'll see me like
You've never seen me yet
Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Blue is where I've been
Green can't buy me you
Silver does remind me
That mistletoe's for two
So I found a color
That only tells the truth
That paints a picture
Of how I feel for you, oh, oh

This Christmas
I'm gonna risk it all
This Christmas
I'm not afraid to fall
So I'm at your door with nothing more
Than words I never said
In all this white you'll see me like
You've never seen me yet
Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I'll never feel you
If I don't tell you

This Christmas
I'm gonna risk it all
This Christmas
I'm not afraid to fall
So I'm at your door with nothing more
Than words I never said
In all this white you'll see me like
You've never seen me yet
Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Wrapped in red (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
