"Be Still" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, from her third studio album, My December (2007). Written by Kelly Clarkson and Aben Eubanks, and produced by David Kahne, "Be Still" is an acoustic folk blues ballad set moderately slow acoustic and electric guitars. Clarkson wrote the song as an introspective ballad based on her exhaustive experience from touring and promoting her second studio album, Breakaway (2004). Inspired by one of her favorite Bible verses, Psalm 46:10 ("Be still, and know that I (God) am here"), the song is about taking a break from everyday things and taking a moment to appreciate one life.
