Kelly Clarkson reveals her new song inspired by hit TV show Only Murders In The Building

Kelly Clarkson’s new song was inspired by ‘Only Murders In The Building’.

The 43-year-old singer / songwriter revealed she was so touched by the on-screen romance between Martin Short’s character Oliver Putnam and Meryl Streep’s alter-ego Loretta Durkin that she decided to write a song about them.

She explained on her SiriusXM show: “It’s Martin Short’s face. He says to Meryl Streep’s character in the show, ‘Where have you been?'

“He’s like in awe, and I was like, ‘Has anyone written a song?’ Because the song is happy, because it’s like you found something that you thought was almost basically a unicorn and did not exist.”

Clarkson sings on the ballad: “Where have you been?/ What took so long?/ I thought I’d found you/ Found out I was wrong. I almost gave up/ My light was so dim/ And now, here you are/ Where have you been?”

On the fourth season of the show, Short and Streep’s characters got married in a ceremony held at the Arconia, where the show is based.
