Release and promotion

edit

"Mine" was released as a double A-side lead single along with "Me" by Atlantic on April 14, 2023. Clarkson explained the reason behind the release saying, "we decided to release 'Mine' and 'Me' at the same time because I didn't want to release just one song to represent an entire album, or relationship."[1]

Live performances

edit

Clarkson debuted the song on her talk show on April 18, 2023.[2]

She then performed the song, in addition to the whole the entire Chemistry album at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles on April 24, 2023[3] to help celebrate the release of the album.

Clarkson also performed the song during her fourteen night Las Vegas residency, Chemistry: An Intimate Evening with Kelly Clarkson. which ran from July 28 to August 19, 2023, December 30–31, 2023, and February 9–10, 2024, at the Bakkt Theater (now PH Live).[4][5]

On September 22, 2023, Clarkson performed the song on The Today Show.

She then performed the song at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on September 23, 2023.

Critical response

edit

Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times called the song "biting," writing that it "effectively taps into anger and a desire for revenge."[6] Jackie Manno of NBC Insider wrote, "the intimate lyrics follow Kelly Clarkson's emotional process of healing from a former deep connection. The verses are delivered with nuanced instrumentation and hushed vocals. The chorus then reaches an intense climax, and Clarkson provides some powerful belted notes as she does best."[7] Euphoria Magazine's Nmesoma Okechuku said, ""Mine" is literally what you get when a broken heart starts to sing."[8]
