Lyrically, the song is about emerging from a failed relationship, and was primarily based on Harlœ 's past. Harlœ, who travelled to Nashville, Tennessee in 2016 to collaborate with Clarkson, told her that the song was inspired by a situation in her life where she was old enough to finally realize and conclude that the relationship ' did n't work out, and you 're kind of a douche, but thank you for making me a stronger human. Let 's just move on. I wish you well, but I wish you not near me. ' '' Prior to finishing the track, Clarkson had asked Harlœ to pen it like a Whitney-esque ballad to showcase her range, which led to an arrangement emphasizing on her vocals. Music critics also observed that the song 's content may also haven alluded to Clarkson 's relationship to her former label, RCA Records as wells as her detractors. A blue - eyed soul ballad, `` I Do n't Think About You '' features a piano - backed melody performed by Pollack and a key - change towards the end of the song. It also features string arrangements conducted by Paul Buckmaster, and is one of his final studio recordings prior to his death. The song is written in the key of A ♭ major with a moderately slow tempo, Clarkson 's voice spans two octaves from C to C. Critical reception Glenn Gamboa of Newsday complimentary compared the song to Mariah Carey 's debut material and that she showcases her multi-octave range and walks the line between vulnerability and defiance in a way that is as timeless as Carey 's debut. Idolator 's Mike Nied wrote that the ballad lets her voice soar through some intricate gymnastics on what could be one of her most challenging arrangements, and remarked that `` Unsurprisingly, she misses no steps and delivers something truly commendable for both the vocal excellence and personal growth she displays. '' Ariana Davis of Refinery29 noted that the glass - shattering soprano notes and passion behind each lyric of the song seem to be sending the listener a very clear message : that she is, indeed, proud of the woman she has become. Live performances To promote `` I Do n't Think About You '', Clarkson has performed the song live on several television shows. On February 26, 2018, Clarkson performed the song live on The Today Show. Two days later, on February 28, she performed the song on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She performed it on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 26, and on The Voice on May 7, 2018. Music video The accompanying music video premiered on Clarkson 's official YouTube on March 20, 2018. In a press release, Clarkson describes the song as `` the moment you realize something has no power over you anymore... We all have people and / or situations in life that mold us and sometimes those situations can feel like they 're about the break us, but this song is about that morning you wake up and you do n't even think about it anymore. It holds no power, no weight in your world, and consumes your thoughts no longer. It 's a song about freedom, honestly. '' In the video, Clarkson is singing on a platform and there are scenes interspersed of younger versions of Clarkson, as Billboard 's Abby Jones describes as, `` including a rocky family situation during her childhood, a troubling boyfriend in her teen years and battling management as she entered the early stages of her career.
