Single release

On July 27 2007, Sony BMG UK exclusively revealed "Don't Waste Your Time" as the second single from My December to be released in the United Kingdom. Clarkson herself confirmed its release in Canada during her appearance in Canada's MTV Live on August 20 2007.[2][3]

On August 23 2007, Mizz Magazine confirmed that "Don't Waste Your Time" was going to be released on September 10 2007. However it was later postponed to October 29 2007 due to the music video not being ready for release.[4] Nearing the date of October 29, 2007, "Don't Waste Your Time" was placed onto the "Coming Soon" list implying that the single will be released at a later time in the United Kingdom. As of now, there is no U.S, Australian or Canadian radio release date planned yet.

On August 20 2007, Clarkson made an appearance on Canada's MTV Live before performing on Canadian Idol on August 21 2007. During her appearance, she confirmed her plans on shooting the music video for the song in a couple of days. Clarkson added that her idea for the music video and it will be kind of a "rocker fairytale".[5] In an interview, Clarkson said that in the video, she has dark colored hair. A sneak peak of the video appeared on September 25, 2007 on Clarkson's official site. In the video you can see Clarkson and others filming the video and talking about the technical special effects. The video, which was directed by Roman White, is to take place in a castle, where Clarkson is trapped and a prince is trying to get in.[6] The video premiered via internet on White's official website on October 5th 2007. The castle in the video is a digital copy of a Hungarian-Transylvanian castle of Vajdahunyad. The video has been watched some 700,000 times on Youtube. [7]
