“Roses” is a pop song full of emotion and soul, and feels reminiscent of Clarkson’s early work. The lyrics to the song’s chorus read It’s too late for roses, they’ll die in a day/ You can’t put a Band-Aid on the way that we’re breakin’/ It’s too late for diamonds, they all come with chains/ So don’t waste your money on it, we can’t be saved/ There ain’t enough roses, no.

Other new songs from Chemistry (Deluxe) include “You Don’t Make Me Cry” featuring Clarkson’s daughter, River Rose. While a guest on the Audacy Check-In podcast, Clarkson discussed working with her 9-year-old daughter.

“[I] don’t really listen to my stuff around [my kids]. So even my other stuff, I guess they were listening to my music with somebody else because my daughter asked to hear ‘Whole Lotta Woman’ and I was like, ‘How do you know that song?’” Clarkson said. “But she wanted to say ‘ass’ really. She was like, ‘Can I sing ass?’ And I was like, ‘Only with me.’ I was like, ‘You can’t do this anywhere else.’”

On September 22, in celebration of the release of Chemistry (Deluxe), Clarkson will play a gig at Rockefeller Plaza for the Today show’s 2023 Citi Summer Concert Series. Clarkson will also play a concert the next day at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, as well as a set at Audacy’s “We Can Survive” concert at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on October 14.
