Kelly Clarkson has been sharing Christmas facts and fun on her Instagram, and she was asked "What Christmas song best describes your life right now?" She responded, "Well you should just listen to my new record 'When Christmas Comes Around.' It's a range of emotions, and I feel like currently, there are a few songs on the record that are applicable right now, but I will say 'Merry Christmas To The One I Used To Know' is currently my favorite on the record."

The chorus lyrics to the song read, "But I know when Christmas comes around / And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground / You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago / But Christmas eve my gift to me is dancing with your ghost / So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know."

Kelly said introducing this song in the YouTube video below, "When I wrote this song, I was crying my face off, which happens to everyone. I had just put my kids to bed, and I was going through it. It's a really hard time, and it's been a really tough year for us."
