A day after the release of her new album Talk a Good Game, Kelly Rowland made a visit to “Good Morning America.” She sat down with Lara Spencer to discuss the lyrics behind her confessional single “Dirty Laundry.”

“I was going through my own personal battle. So when [Beyoncé's] doing her thing, I’m over here thinking, ‘What am I going to do next? What do I wanna do with my life?’” said Kelly. “The song turned into something so positive for me and I’m so happy that it did.”

While Destiny’s Child has no immediate plans for a reunion, they can all be heard on “You Changed” on Game. “I’m so grateful, I love my girls,” she said.

She also previewed the video for “Dirty Laundry” and hit the stage to perform her new single “Street Life” with Pusha T.
