"Having chemistry with someone is an incredible, and overwhelming feeling," said Clarkson in a press release. "It's like you have no choice in the matter. You are just drawn to each other. This can be good and bad. This album takes you down every path that chemistry could lead you down."

Today she shares new track "red flag collector," the fourth single from the 14-track album following "i hate love" — which featured Steve Martin on banjo — "favorite kind of high," and double singles "mine" and "me." Check out the full tracklist below.

"red flag collector" is about the petty and sometimes nasty things that are said in the midst of a breakup, with whistles and trumpets reminiscent of a classic Western movie showdown. See Clarkson perform "red flag collector" live below.

chemistry is Clarkson's tenth studio album since her career blew up in 2002 after her American Idol win. It follows 2017's Meaning of Life and 2021's When Christmas Comes Around
