It's a front-runner for lead single off her next album.

New details are emerging about a song that could turn out to be Kelly Clarkson's first single off her upcoming album. What does the tune sound like and when it might drop? Read on to find out!

Kelly's producer Dr. Luke tells Entertainment Weekly that the song, "My Life Would Suck Without You," is free of "country twang," and could get released as early as December.

Dr. Luke adds that the "Idol" champ has been a knockout during studio recording sessions: "It's sick. She sings a song in two hours and kills it," he tells the mag. "She has powerful lungs. She's like the Lance Armstrong of vocal chords."
