    Lyrically, "Because of You" explores emotional pain from a damaging relationship and critics deemed it is a fiery ode to Clarkson's father. The song begins with a piano-led melody and as it launches into the chorus, a roaring guitar is evident. Critically, "Because of You" garnered positive reviews by most music critics who generally praised Clarkson's vocals. The song became Clarkson's most successful single around the world; in the United States, it peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 1.5 million digital downloads. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Internationally, the song topped the charts in the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland as well as reaching the top ten in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It also became the only song by Clarkson to chart in France until "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" entered the French chart in 2012.
