Okay. This site is definitely not intended as a way to bash artists -- so stop it!!!! ;-) We need more introspection about the lyrics!
READY TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN?
I have come to the conclusion that this song is NOT about an ex-boyfriend. This song (written by Gottwald and Sandberg) is clearly about Kelly's 2003 move to different management, and her contentious dumping of Simon Fuller (American Idol creator) as her manager.
Go ahead. Reread the lyrics. Think about this from a business aspect.
She started off on a friendly level with Fuller. He became her manager. She probably told him she trusted his judgment, and that she wasn't going to fire him ("...how I picture me with you.").
"I can breathe for the first time..." because he was controlling her career... "I'm so moving on... Now I get what I want..." because he was limiting her growth as an artist.
She "fell for that stupid love song" from her first album - which really wasn't the type of music she wanted to be singing, or the image she wanted to be portraying, in hindsight.
He put her career on the backburner, to work with newer idols -- "You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind."
She keeps repeating that she's now getting what she wants --- she's not being controlled by a manager that isn't listening to her creative needs.
And, if you think she wasn't angry with him, just remember the recent news about her not wanting her songs to be sung on American Idol. Yes, she relented, but still... she has some seriously bad feelings about Fuller.

So. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
