Dia Frampton Don't Kick the Chair Feat. Kid Cudi Lyric VideoUniversal Republic

She isn't just a pretty 'voice,' but also one talented songwriter! Dia Frampton, who rose to fame as the runner-up on the inaugural season of NBC's 'The Voice,' has a catchy new, Kid Cudi-assisted single out called 'Don't Kick the Chair.' The Utah native puts the tune's poignant lyrics in the spotlight for its brand-new song.

"I wrote this song with Busbee and Julie Frost," Dia, who was on country megastar Blake Shelton's 'Voice' team, explains to AOL Music. "It started with my lyrical idea, 'Don't Kick the Chair,' since my sisters and I throw that phrase around at home when we're complaining about something when, on the other hand, it's a beautiful day outside. In other words, 'don't kick the chair' is another way of saying, 'don't give up,' because you can't have the highs without the lows, and there's no use in getting down about something for too long. You got to start pushing forward at some point."

'Don't Kick the Chair' also features an interlude by famed rapper Kid Cudi. "It was a pleasure having Kid Cudi on this song," says Dia. "I'm a fan of his work and also am very happy with the positive lyrics he created. This song has a dark undertone, but overall, I wanted it to be optimistic."

The new song is featured on Dia's upcoming album, 'Red,' scheduled to hit stores December 6. Dia will hit the road with Blake Shelton next year on his Well Lit & Amplified tour. See their concert schedule here.

UPDATE (Dec. 8): Dia's exclusive lyric video was made available for a limited time only. Hope you caught it when we first premiered it! And you can still listen to the full track below!

I really like the song. I love the lyrics. I don't think the rap portion was necessary.

I don't hate this song honestly I dont and the lyrics are really nice but i guess this does not feel like dia it feels somewhat diluted and sugared. I have been a big fan of dia for awhile now i love the band meg and dia and i guess you can say I hold them to a certain standard of music. Dia have sung songs that not only touched my soul but made me believe in myself and honestly this song is a disappointment. I understand once your famous you have to make mainstream media music but i was hoping that dia would change what people saw as mainstream music but if this is the way her career is going to go I will stick to her earlier work and pretend her new stuff is just a bad dream

This song was good until Kid Cudi. Her voice is always delightful.

I agree...just putting rap singers in a song just to connect with the younger generation is so wrong.

It's a lyric video, not the actual music video. Heaps of artists do lyric videos before they release the actual music videos, so people become more familiar with the song. Educate yourself
