First-time CMA nominee Kelly Clarkson is releasing her first greatest hits album November 19th. The upcoming collection leads with her new single "Catch My Breath," which was co-written with one her best friends.

In an open letter to her fans, Kelly said, "This song represents who I've been, what I've felt, and where I'm headed not only as an artist but as a 30-year-old who is now smart enough to know that it's time to stop, catch my breath, and be proud of not only what has been accomplished but of all the people that have helped me become the woman I am today."

Kelly is up for Female Vocalist of the Year at the 46th Annual CMA Awards and lands her own performance slot during the November 1st telecast.
