Greatest Hits – Chapter One (stylized as Greatest Hits • Chapter One) is the first greatest hits album by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, released on November 16, 2012 by RCA Records. It contains material from Clarkson's first five studio albums: Thankful (2003), Breakaway (2004), My December (2007), All I Ever Wanted (2009), and Stronger (2011). Its three newly recorded songs, "Catch My Breath", "Don't Rush" and "People Like Us", served as singles; contributions to their production came from Sound Kollectiv, Greg Kurstin and Dann Huff.
"It’s been a decade now since I won American Idol. Sometimes it feels longer because although it has been exciting that was a lot of pressure to have as a 19 year old girl. To own a company, lead an organization as a business woman, and be able to create music I’m proud of has been tough, but inspiring, for me. Thank you everyone that has been a part of my career and life. Here’s to another decade of passion and fun!"
Clarkson was first approached on releasing a greatest hits album after releasing My December in December 2007, but found the idea appalling. She insisted: "Doing a greatest hits would be crazy. I am not 50. Artists who do one after three albums think their career is coming to an end." On September 11, 2012, the UK branch of Sony Music Entertainment revealed on a press conference that a greatest hits album from Clarkson would be released by the end of 2012. In an interview with The Insider promoting the release of her promotional single "Get Up (A Cowboys Anthem)" (2012), Clarkson hinted that she would release a new set of songs by the end of the year. On October 4, 2012, Clarkson announced that a new single from the compilation album, "Catch My Breath", would be released the following week.RCA Records later announced that the album's title would be Greatest Hits – Chapter One; the album was released on November 19, 2012 in the United States and was preceded by the release of "Catch My Breath" on October 16, 2012.
