On March 10, 2008 Kelly Clarkson, the original American Idol released her fourth album. After My December bombed with Clarkson’s fan base, her album titled All I Ever Wanted, was a hit with her fans. Clarkson sings many songs that can relate to everyday life. She had a major comeback with her first single off the album "My Life Would Suck Without You." It hit number one on the iTunes charts making a jump from number 97 to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the biggest leap to the top in chart’s history.

The album includes four songs co-written by Ryan Tedder, who is the lead singer of One Republic. He co-wrote two ballads "Already Gone," which is about Clarkson emotionally checking out of a relationship, and "Save You," which is about Clarkson wanting to help somebody with their problems. Tedder also co-wrote the songs "Impossible" and "If I Can’t Have You." Along with Ryan Tedder, Katy Perry co-wrote two of the songs on All I Ever Wanted. She had a part in the songs "I Do Not Hook Up," and "Long Shot," which are two very upbeat songs. "I Do Not Hook Up" has already begun playing on the radio and is guaranteed to get as much air time as "My Life Would Suck Without You." This album includes songs of many different genres. Whether you like a pop rock song, such as "Whyyawannabringmedown," or a ballad such as "Cry," this album includes something for everybody to enjoy.
