Heartbeat Song

"Heartbeat Song" is a 2015 single by Kelly Clarkson, released as the lead single from her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece. Produced by Greg Kurstin, the track blends synth-pop, new wave, and pop rock, drawing clear inspiration from 1980s sounds. For electric guitarists, its pop rock foundation and new wave-influenced textures make it an engaging piece to explore clean tones, rhythmic chord work, and era-specific playing styles.

  • The track was co-written by four songwriters, including Kara DioGuardi and Jason Evigan, reflecting a collaborative pop-rock approach.
  • Producer Greg Kurstin shaped the song's 1980s new wave aesthetic — a useful reference point when dialing in clean, bright guitar tones.
  • Released by RCA Records on January 12, 2015, it served as the lead single from the album Piece by Piece.

Clarkson's Stratocasters deliver the clear, responsive single-coil tone that captures every nuance of her session guitarists' pick dynamics in studio recordings. The versatile platform supports both clean rhythm work and subtle lead textures without sacrificing the articulation her pop-rock productions demand.

The Telecaster's bright, cutting single-coil character gives Clarkson's rhythm sections punch and presence in dense mixes while maintaining note definition across all strings. This guitar sits perfectly in her balanced, clarity-focused approach to studio and live arrangements.

Clarkson's session musicians use the TS9 for mild overdrive on rhythm parts, adding subtle warmth and sustain without clouding the clean tone and pick dynamics essential to her sound. The pedal's transparency preserves the natural response of her single-coil guitars rather than imposing aggressive coloration.
