What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Mr. Know It All" is a clean track from American Idol darling Kelly Clarkson. There's no explicit content or language; instead, the song focuses on its inspiring message about ending a relationship with someone who's not treating you respectfully. The song is a good choice for young kids who are just starting to build their self-confidence and navigate romantic relationships.
What's the story?
"MR. KNOW IT ALL" is the first single from Stronger, the fifth full-length album by Kelly Clarkson -- winner of American Idol's kick-off season. Known for her largely inoffensive lyrics, Clarkson keeps it clean here and adheres to a positive message about never settling for second best in a relationship: "Well ya like to bring me down don't ya, but I ain't laying down, baby, I ain't going down / Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be ... Baby you should know that I lead not follow."
Is it any good?
Clarkson is one of the most successful Idol alums, and for good reason: She has fantastic pipes, which she shows off in this track. The catchy synth-pop hook doesn't obscure her excellent vocal range, resulting in a tune with an exceptional all-around sound.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how to handle a difficult relationship with someone you care about who doesn't treat you well in return.
What do you think of Clarkson's career choices? Are you surprised that she's still popular years after her American Idol victory?

Mr. Know It All
Mr. Know it All is alright. Kelly Clarkson is an excellent singer, though. The music is catchy but the lyrics get a little repetitive. This song is about leaving a relationship in which the other person acts like they know everything you want and need. It has better messages in it than most breakup songs.
