This song is more rock than bubble gum and super catchy. The title made me click out of curiosity but once I did I decided to keep it. I'm liking the rock side of Kelly and this song has good lyrics. Yay for rock I can listen to with kids (or my mom!) in the car. ;)

I know I'm late but this pop-rock song is a keeper. It starts off kinda basic but once the chorus comes in the guitars go crazy (in such a good way). It will have you putting this song on repeat (unless you over-listen to the radio, for it plays on it sometimes).

Like I said the strongest part about this song is its chorus. Thanks goodness for this song.

Welcome back, Kelly. It felt like forever (since 2007's My December).

4.25 stars = B

Kelly Clarkson's second single from her fabulous new CD ("All I Ever Wanted") is the uber-catchy "I Do Not Hook Up." Katy Perry co-wrote the song along with Kara DioGuardi (the new judge on "American Idol") and producer Greg Wells, and she recorded it for her abandoned first solo CD (her version is available several places online for comparison). Fortunately, Katy's reject is Kelly's gain as "I Do Not Hook Up" sounds like a surefire hit.

In the song, Kelly is being pursued by a guy, but she wants to make it clear that she's not in for a one night stand - Oh, no I do not hook up/ up...I fall deep/ `Cause the more that you try the harder I'll fight to say. Like her previous single, the smash "My Life Would Suck without You," this song is rock-based pop with plenty of guitars backing up Kelly's driving vocals. "I Do Not Hook Up" is going to sound amazing on the radio. After her last CD ("December") failed to deliver more than one Top 10 hit, I think Kelly is back on track as the biggest hit-maker from "American Idol."

I love this song. I feel as though it's a great song even if only about half the American population can relate to it. I love the song, it's empowering vibe, the fast pace making it great for running to, and that it's sung by Kelly Clarkson. Katy Perry has a version of this song - doesn't suit her voice nearly as well as it suits Kelly Clarkson.

There is no question about why Kelly Clarkson hasn't really been able to shine in her songs lately. They all have felt exactly the same on top of each other. She hasn't been able to get herself seperated from her American Idol image very well. Her latest single doesn't seem to really shine that brightly to my ears. I Do Not Hook Up, the second single from her 4th album All I Ever Wanted feels like it is just one in the same from her pervious earlier songs. It really isn't a great song after a few times, and feels like it has lost its luster very quickly. I overall wasn't very impressed with all the tracks from All I Ever Wanted, and for Kelly, she needs to find something different to seperate herself from the same angry-driven songs she has created for awhile. She doesn't really hook up at all.
