Walk Away

Following in the vein of her previous down-with-love singles "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes," "Walk Away" finds Kelly reprimanding her boyfriend for letting her down in various ways and not devoting himself to the relationship. She demands that if he can't give her what she needs, that he should "just walk away".

Initially, "Addicted" had been planned for release as a fifth single, but was cancelled when RCA deemed its dark tone and message too similar to that of her previous two singles, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" and "Because of You". "Gone" was then picked as the replacement, only to be dropped due to similarities to "Since U Been Gone." Finally, after two months of U.S. pop airplay, "Walk Away" was released as the fifth single from Breakaway in 2006. By that point, however, "Gone" had already amassed considerable airplay on popular radio stations in major markets such as Atlanta, Boston, and New York City. Some speculate that this may have negatively affected "Walk Away"'s performance in the US. "Walk Away" fell out of the Billboard Top 50 on August 10, 2006.
