"I Dare You" is a song by American singer Kelly Clarkson.

Recording and composition

[edit]

"I Dare You" was written by Natalie Hemby, Laura Veltz, Ben West, Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman, and Jesse Shatkin, the last of whom handled the song's production.[1][2] A midtempo pop song, "I Dare You" is an song of call to action, challenging listeners to set aside their differences and unite in the name of love.[3]

Upon holding for recording, Clarkson revealed that another artist had also requested to record it, but later decided to pull out for her. She then presented an idea to her label Atlantic Records to record the song in different languages.[4] After gaining approval, Clarkson and Shatkin recorded the song in its original English form together in 2019, while Atlantic's parent company Warner Music Group commissioned several of its own international artists to translate the song in their native languages and record those with them.[4] Having an experience in singing opera in foreign languages, Clarkson elected to first languages to be French, German, and Spanish; and despite non-Middle eastern speaker, decided to also include Hebrew and Arabic to be more inclusive.

Warner Music then commissioned French singer Zaz, Canadian-Moroccan singer Faouzia, Spanish singer Blas Cantó, German musical duo Glasperlenspiel, and Israeli singer Maya Bouskilla, to record the song with Clarkson in their native languages.[4] Apart from Bouskilla, whose Hebrew version was translated by Noam Horev, the rest of the international versions were translated by their respective artists.[4] THe recording process for the other languages took four days. Due to logistical constraints, the artists were only able to record remotely, save with Faouzia, who traveled from Canada to also coach Clarkson in singing in a Moroccan Arabic dialect.

Release and reception

[edit]

Atlantic had originally intended for the original English version to be issued first, but Clarkson wanted all versions to be released at the same time, so as not to favor any language. Originally scheduled to be released on March 2020 to coincide with her concert residency, Invincible, it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Citing that the theme of the song might be well-fitted to the global outbreak, Clarkson ultimately decided release it the following month. She remarked, "The message was perfect. I thought it was kind of globally connecting, and I wanted to do that musically. We were going to shelve it for a minute, but it was planned to come out today and I thought, maybe people need this message today." On April 16, 2020, "I Dare You" was released by Atlantic in a "Multi-Language Duets" single, which includes all the six languages. It was then sent to American hot adult contemporary radio stations on April 20, 2020, by Atlantic and Electra Records.[5] A set of remix versions will be released by Atlantic from May to July 2020.

Live performances

[edit]

On the day of its release, Clarkson appeared on The Today Show to promote "I Dare You" in a short preview. That same day, she then dedicated an entire episode of her her self-titled variety talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, to premiere the song, which was presented pre-recorded multi-language "mega-mix" performance along with the featured artists. She also performed it in English on the 2020 NFL Draft on April 2020, and in a multi-lingual version on the season finale of The Voice on May 2020. On June 2020, she performed the song in a pre-recorded live version on BBC Radio 2.
