"I Do Not Hook Up" is a song recorded by American singer Kelly Clarkson for her fourth studio album, All I Ever Wanted (2009), released as the second single from the album. It was written by Kara DioGuardi, Greg Wells and Katy Perry. Perry had originally written the song for One of the Boys, but following her removal from Def Jam, she gave the song and "Long Shot" to Clarkson. RCA Records serviced the song to mainstream radio in the United States on April 14, 2009. The song is a dance-rock and power pop song that is structured upon a muscular arrangement with lyrics about empowerment and healthy relationships.
The song received positive reviews from music critics, with many praising its arrangement and Clarkson's vocals. Some critics gave different interpretations of the song's message. It fared well domestically, peaking at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and sold nearly 700,000 downloads. It was also certified Gold in Canada and Australia, peaking within the top 20 in both markets. It failed to make as strong of an impact in several other international markets, peaking within the lower regions of the charts in countries like Austria and Germany. The accompanying music video was released in the United States on May 1, 2009.
