Kelly Rowland is in the giving mood.
After baring all on her brand new single ‘Dirty Laundry’, the R&B beauty caught up with Billboard to share even more details on the moving number-explaining the process behind ‘The Dream’ led release.
Quotes below…
Excerpts pulled from Billboard:
“The second and third verses take a darker turn, with Rowland singing about an ex who was “hitting the window like it was me / And still it shattered.He pulled me out and said ‘Don’t nobody love you but me / Not your mama / Not your daddy / and especially not Bey.'” Recording the song was so emotional for Rowland, it took her nearly a dozen takes to lay down her vocals without crying. And even at a recent listening for her label, Republic, she had to leave the room before the song was played.”
“It was very emotional. It took me days to record,” Rowland tells Billboard. “I had to get past being so upset and actually sing the song, not sob through it. I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me. Dream said, ‘I want to write you a record so that people will know exactly who you are, underneath it all.”
“The-Dream adds that he had to “push” Rowland to go outside her comfort zone, compiling highlights from different personal stories she shared as he put together the lyrics for the song. “What unfolds on TV or on the Internet, it’s never really that. You think it is but it’s just not,” he says. “When you have a stage like Kelly has, you should talk about that part of your life. I think Kelly’s way deeper than that.”
Still haven’t heard the song?

You are a poor excuse for a human being…
She is discussing a domestic situation that millions of people find themselves in every single day…

Who the f*** cares! Flop song or not. She is making good juicy music about her life. All yall care about is whether a song flops or not. This is why regular people don’t need to know things about the music industry! What happened to just enjoying the music. Ughh
kelly is in the business to make hits. this song is not a hit!! how is she gonna make money off flop music?? if she were an independent artist then it would be ok but shes not so…..
STFU!!
SAD SAD SAD when the new age generation cannot appreciate REAL music..This is what R&B is ALLLLL about..telling a f****** story..these stupid ass kids only know about meaningless music and nothing beyond the word flop..f*ckin idiots
miss thing….for your reminders, with this record no one cares about flop. so go have a seat punk.
miss thing….for your reminders, with this record no one cares about flop. so go have a seat punk.
so why is it a single then?? why is it being released to radio and itunes then??

the song is BORING and forgettable. who cares if she is telling a freakin story?? that doesnt make it entertaining. if u consider this real RNB then u have low standards. the chorus is basic as fvck and couldve been written by a 6th grader
Thank you for provig my point tina jones..you are the epitome of what I just explained…stupid ass kids that dont appreciate and dont know real music..this is what r&b is..get informed..this b******* pop music is not r&b..

After you
So proud of Kelly…Glad dream was able to get her to be so raw and expose trie feelings….. People need to hear her story. She’s talented and hardworking as well! I salute her dedication!
Ain’t that the truth. I feel the same way you do.
No she’s an ugly nappy headed n i g g e r you know black girls are considered the ugliest race.Look it up on dating lines black nappies are the last to get picked.cuz there ejust ugly ni g g e rs
So happy for her. Wish you luck on this era Kelly!!!
Floppity floppity flip FLOP!!!!
miss thing got check your lipstick cos you wearing it… look your user name next.
I’m still waiting for her to confess and apologize to Latavia, Letoya and Farah on how she HELPED Beyonce to screw them over, then I might take this sob story song seriously, until then I just see it as karma.
Helped ?
Girl had no choice to say “No” .
Go and search kelly’s social life during the DC days please fellow navy.
Who?
Like seriously b**** you couldn’t even get a BET award nomination…..
This girl is a 5X Grammy Winner in her own right
PLEASE USE GOOGLE BEFORE YOU TRY TO THROW SHADE FROM UR DARK AND LONELY LIFE THANKS… XOXO
Where you gettin’ at? I’m all eyes right now.
You’re worried about a BET nomination?! Where are your standards?! I think it was Kelly Rowland who was THE first member out of DC to win a Grammy outside of the group and went on to win another with Guetta, and just so happened to get nominated alongside Bey at the Grammy’s like a year or two ago. Many don’t know but that was the first time in history that’s ever been done. Kelly has had longevity in this industry thatnot many can claim. I like the girl in your avi but let’s just see where your favoriteis in 15 years…..
I think Basement Baby Solange wrote this garbage & Dream & Smelly trying to cover up. & they all better Duck when Bey Jay & Mathew hear dis song lol #GAMEOVA
<3 #TalkAGoodGame and Dirty Laundry is such a moving number!
Also waiting for the Solange Knowles remix.
two flop ni g g e rs YAY
Why are people talking about ‘FLOP’ when this has been the most discussed song since she previewed it weeks ago. Kelly Rowland has EVOLVED as one commentor stated earlier and I think this album will show just that. This track is so so very very deep. Its amazing what people go through and how they have to channel that energy into a record. Im glad she did it though, its the most PERSONAL song any of the DC3 girls have released EVER… cuz she goes in… and she aired that DIRTY LAUNDRY
“Being talked about” < the charts. This won't chart and her album will FLOP. #deal
@Super Cisus..OMG you f***** F*ggots ..Get some new vocabulary…
Who gives a f*** if it “flops” smh.. It is an honest true song about what she went through
I’m sure she wasn’t recording it thinking “damn this better go to no.1”.
True artists don’t give a f*** about no.1s. If she wanted a number 1 she could
Feat. David guetta.. She’s kelly rowland, not desperate for no.1 iTunes link tweeting rihanna who’s entire
Career is based of her last no.1!!
but Kelly stans can talk s*** about my fav? Y’all some hypocrites your girl is a flop solo wise stfu and #deal
Queen Kelly Rowland All Day.I love my baby so much…….
These b****** screaming flop are the reason why real music is on the decline. I willing to bet anything the majority of the b****** who don’t like this song are affiliated with the Navy.
Whether this song flops are not doesn’t matter. This song will inspires somebody to end their abusive relationship. Had the b**** in my avi heard this record a few years ago, her ass wouldn’t have got beat by her boyfriend or went back to him. -ijs
2013= Kelly’s Year.
Sis, would you believe they are calling that b**** an icon in the Elijah thread. I’m not even dealing.
You could not have said it better
Exactly
she better promote.
where is behoe music… she is scared because Stay is slaying the chat..
As consumers, we should be more focused on the content of the music we listen to and how well it appeals to us. The problem with our generation is that we try so F–king hard to take the place of an artists management and label to the point that all of your focus is on how high a song charts.
This is why music is going downhill.
The navy is the most stupid ass backwards fanbase on this site.
Where is the navy though? All I see is that dumb ass Cisus troll. -_- girl, bye.
It’s usually the navy coming for Kelly. If y’all would stop throwing the word “flop” around so much I wouldn’t have had so much to say. I’m sure s/he’s a part of you all’s clan.
Kiiiii I don’t have beef with Kelly (other than she doesn’t promote her s***), but the navy doesn’t care about Kelly. The Navy always goes back and forth with the Hive. Other stanbases are pretty much irrelevant to us.
It’s the Ciara & Kelly stans who go back & forth about positions on the R&B charts, dear. And that cisus clown is a C-Squad troll.
Was saying all that suppose to make you feel you all are superior? Or was it to make you feel better about your messy idol and her delusional fanbase?
The navy doesn’t care about Kelly?
I find that funny…because you’re here. 🙂
Didnt I say that >>>I<<>>>>> whatever Kelly’s stans are called. 😆
I mean EVERY other post on here is a Rih or Bey post. Let my fave be messy, and let us be delusional all the way to the top of the charts. 😆
FOH!

FOH!
I don’t know why half of my post keeps getting cut off, but whatever I’m not retyping it!
In a nutshell, I wasn’t trying to shade Kelly, you did it yourself 😆
Because you shading Kelly is just eating away at me….please.
It’s a shame thats all her sorry a-s fans care about. She is the epitome of untalented. She can’t dance or sing. You’re speaking as if being at the top of the charts in this day in time means anything. Let’s not forget Call Me Maybe, Gangnam Style, etc etc also topped the charts. As long as Kelly delivers good music, I could care less about the fact that she isn’t topping the charts. 🙂
FINALLY KELLY! Im in love with this Kelly all over again! I always thought that she kinda held back from letting her soul shine! The reason DC stood out to me was because each member could hold there own! Bey is the mega pop star, Michelle was the angle sent from heaven with her gospel music and Kelly is just so soulful in my opinion. While everyone was in there own lane shining I always felt Kelly lacked! Not because she wasnt good enough but it seemed like she was holding back alot and this one record just proved to me that she still is the soulful Kelly I loved and adored! She needed to release and this is the Kelly I feel like her fans missed!! Keep it up because Im buying this album this time around!!!!!!!!!!!!
depressed b****** and their favs stay mad at rihanna , Mad b****** just can’t take it *shrugs* .
Gurrrrl Rih and the Navy got so many shout outs on this damn post 😆
To write, record, & eventually release this song to the world I’m sure has taken an enormous amount of courage. People are so cruel and judgemental. Unless you were there during that time you do not know what people go through or have to deal with. I commend Kelly for sharing these dark secrets. I truly don’t believe this song was released to top the charts but to share Kelly’s struggle and her own personal story to shed light on who Miss Kelly is behind all the lights, media, & unsolicited opinions.
KEEP SPILLING DAT TEA KELLY. LOVE IT.
love that song Girl by DC !!!!
sanggggggg
i hope all these h*** yelling “GO KELLY” support the song on itunes…….
but u know they wont……
Yassss Kelly …..Kids she is talking about her boyfriend Tim Weatherspoon and Bey.
Kelly baby you did that. Who cares if this song flops? I don’t think Kelly even cares. This song was therapy for her.
Some of YOU kids really need to grow up. I have to keep in mind that we are dealing with a generation of CRACK BABIES. JUST UGH AT SOME OF Y’ALL.
Kelly baby you did that. Who cares if this song flops? I don’t think Kelly even cares. This song was therapy for her.
so why is she on a major record label?? why is this song a single?? why did she sign a contract to SELL music?? [crickets]
Why were you born addicted to CRACK?
Why were you born addicted to CRACK?
TRANSLATION: u owned me and my dumbass couldnt think of a good answer……..
She’s not talking about tim Weatherspoon , she’s talking about her ex boyfriend Cudda Love ( nelly’s ex manager)
She’s not talking about tim Weatherspoon , she’s talking about her ex boyfriend Cudda Love ( nelly’s ex manager)
or she could just be lying……..
ummm make sense now I forgot all about him.
Love me some Kelly! Great interview 🙂
Sam why would you post that motivation video…her vocals are AWFUL …of all the performances of that song….that had to be the worst …
The dream is one talented individual.
He’s a n i g g e r of course he’s not…..
She’s so talented and beautiful! I just wish all of her singles weren’t all about s**. There’s so much more. If she could have more variety she would slay. Maybe a ballad, but not the generic, dated mess like that s***** ass Tamar song. Something with amazing production, like Usher’s Climax. I don’t know.
Nevermind, just saw the lyrics. Good job Kelly, stepping out of your comfort zone.
^^ oh f*** it i don’t mean that s*** i hate that n.i.g.g.e.rs i only said that for likes which i didnt get f*** all you a** looking n******!
HA HA HA HA rihanna haters, I have some great news…….Rihanna is releasing a male / female fragrance called ‘Rogue’. She completed 2 photoshoots for mac and River island. She has been in the studio – TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT BAD FOR A SO CALLED ONE HIT WONDER ON TOUR.
Also, Right now will be sent to pop RADIO at the end of this month – it is the 3 WW single. Stay has outsold diamonds in the USA – HA! AND…..SHE is on the OF POUR IT UP – YUP THE PO IT UP PO IT UP VIDEO IS COMING NEXT WEEK. AND Yall say she is lazy?
I thought beyonce was coming back in 2013 to shut rih down and snatch her wig? WELL? Looks like beyonce has gone into hiding ; hiding behind a new baby. What about Rita ORA? Did y’all not say last year – this EXACT TIME LAST YEAR, that she was gonna end rihanna career, fastforward a year, and apart from her f****** and sucking everything in sight . Where is Rita ORA single and USA ALBUM? By this time, Rih had dropped SOS – she loaded her second ERA quick time cos there was HUGE DEMAND, for the then bajan t***. What happened to Rita WHORA song with Snopp dogg? They filmed a video and thailand ! Another Rita WHORA flop collabo? Just llike the one with K Koke. THAT w**** needs rihanna to teach hot to sing on a hook and actuallY CHART.
Looks like Body party has fallen out of the top 100 itunes. F flops in a row for Ciara. Chris brown? HE WILL NEVER HAVE A TOP 10 AGAIN……LOL LOL So, the only act running tings, all over the world IS RIHANNA and WE do not give a f*** if she writes her songs or can sing. SHE IS QUEEN AND U WILL DEAL.
Oh, I forgot to mention…..Pharlelle Willams is going to be one of the mentors on Styled to rock. THIS US VERSION WILL DEAL. BEYONCE IS FASING AWAY BIT BY BIT, Yeah, her arena one leg tour sold out…but so what? HAS IT MANAGED to stop rih ? ? SO, all that superbowl BS was for nothing; what a waste!
Like seriously im getting tired of all you n****** fighting about beyonigger vs rihnigger there both ugly apes trying to look white.
Grape juice wtf. Nobody care post that duet of xtina and Alejandro and her new makeover. New pic.on set of the music video. Xtina looks f***** beautiful she’s about to rule the world….
