“I Dare You” by Kelly Clarkson

The addressee of Kelly Clarkson’s “I Dare You” is the entire listening audience. And what Kelly is daring us to do is “to love”. Or to put things into context, she recognizes this world we live in as one that can be predatory and which causes the hearts of many to wax cold. However, regardless of what type of emotional disappointments one may meet in life, she is challenging the individual to always put their best foot forward.  

More specifically, this exhortation is in particular regards to how we relate to our fellow man. And that singer knows that the average person “may not have the stage”, i.e. the influence, that she does. But regardless of such, she still wants to excite us towards brightening up the corner of the world where they reside, so to speak.

Did Kelly Clarkson write this song?

No. “I Dare You” was composed by five writers (none of whom is Clarkson).
