2006 single by Kelly Clarkson

"Walk Away" is a song by American pop singer Kelly Clarkson for her second studio album, Breakaway (2004). The song was written and produced by Chantal Kreviazuk, Raine Maida, and Kara DioGuardi, with additional writing from Clarkson. The song focuses on a relationship that is not working out; Clarkson wants a lover who will support her, not disappear when she needs him the most. It was released as the album's fourth single. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended Clarkson's attitude on the song. The song reached the top ten in Belgium and The Republic of Ireland and the top forty in Australia, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In March 2006, the single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales over 500,000 in all formats in the United States. As of February 2010, "Walk Away" has sold over 1.1 million digital copies in the U. S.

Clarkson called "Walk Away" "one of the brighter songs" on Breakaway, and said that "It's just one of those anthem songs where everybody is [bouncing their heads] in the car." She said of its subject matter, "the whole song is just about if it's not working out, then just leave, don't stay and make it worse." It is one of five collaborations with DioGuardi from the album and the first and only to be released as a single. DioGuardi had become one of the most sought songwriter/producers after playing key roles on hits from Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of Me" to Lindsay Lohan's "Confessions of a Broken Heart." For additional insurance Canadian couple Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida, frequent Avril Lavigne collaborators, assisted on "Walk Away." Tense guitars open the song, setting a cross tone. In "Walk Away," Clarkson's relationship with her boyfriend seemed to be sunk at the start. With his family conspiring against them and aiding in his deceptions, there was no way it was going to work. Clarkson's hurt not only stems from his indifference to her, but his family's animosity towards her. Charles Merwin from Stylus Magazine wrote that "Luckily, songs like 'Breakaway' and 'Walk Away' are good enough to make you forget about some disappointments on the album." On March 5, 2013, Billboard ranked the song at number 20 in its list of Top 100 American Idol Hits of All Time.

"Walk Away" debuted on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 97 on the chart dated January 21, 2006. "Walk Away" became Breakaway's first release to fail to achieve top 10 status on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 12.

The music video for "Walk Away" was developed from a treatment Clarkson had written and was directed by Joseph Kahn. The video was voted 30th in VH1's "Top 40 Videos of the Year" for 2006. Kelly wrote the treatment for the video, even writing in a scene for her brother and one of her friends. She shot the video in Los Angeles.
