Breakaway is a time capsule song from my youth

[rachel]

That was SUCH a good album. I remember all fhose songs comin out my senior year of highschool (2004-2005) gives me so much nostalgia 😭

[ashleyhall]

I went to listen to Avril’s version of Breakaway and totally saw her coming through. I love Avril’s voice and songs but she was smart to hand this one to Kelly. Kelly’s version really knocked it out of the park. Greatness from both of these artists

[aaronespinel]

Breakaway album is my favorite from Kelly

[lisajones]

Breakaway is one of my favorite songs from Kelly.

[carmengogeidnas]

Avril Lavine wrote Breakaway?? EXCUSE ME, WHAT???

[MissPaigeONeill]

I had no idea that Avril wrote Breakaway

[peterpandaaa]

I think it does fit in a way that the other songs were so pop rock hyped that youll hear this after the other ones and think shes finally free from the other songs... did not know Avril wrote it!! Shes an amazing songwriter since she was very young.

[richarddixon]

One of Kelly's best, catchiest songs.

[SamSung-wwrp]

That she came clean on the truth is why I 💞💞💞 Kelly.

[JohnRhodes-cm]

Wow, when she named the other songs on the album, you realize how many BANGERS she put out.

[nickgiovanni]

Kelly is so talented! Unreal her talent

[onetallpheeesh]

Kelly Clarkson can sing any song, any genre, any key. Avril Lavigne is an underrated talent.

[YazMar-zb]

Breakaway is my favourite song. She gave that song so much life and nostalgia

[marcusdj]

"Breakaway" would be a banger as a country track. It was definitely an outlier on the album it was put on.

[EmEvoicee]

Because albums need to be diverse and not just one theme, it’s okay to switch it up a little!

[cherryonasundae]

Don’t know what she’s talking about, I find it fits completely with the other songs!!!

[genaj.collor]

Omg I didn't know Avril wrote that, I love Avril and Kelly
