( CNN ) -- Mariah Carey is back in action and ready to let go . The singer is set to release a new single , `` The Art of Letting Go , '' on November 11 . She tells CNN in an interview that this is one track she can relate to `` on every level . '' `` As a songwriter , I never like to be too totally specific , because I like people to be able to make it about their own life experiences , '' Carey said . `` ( But ) there is an art to learning how to let go of things in your life , people in your life , things that are not good for you . Whatever the case may be . '' At the moment , Carey 's focused on letting go of the lingering pain from a recent injury . In July , the singer took a nasty fall on the set of a music video , dislocating her shoulder among other things . `` I fell off something very high , and I dislocated my shoulder , fractured my shoulder , ( and ) fractured the rib area , '' Carey said . `` It just requires a lot of physical therapy , but I 'm like 90 to 95 percent there . '' For her new single , the star collaborated with producer Rodney Jerkins and created `` The Art of Letting Go '' through what Carey describes as an organic process . The result , she said , is a song that goes back to her roots . `` There 's an emotion to it , as you listen to the song start to finish , that you can tell that it 's me if it 's anybody that 's ever met me or been listening to music over however long . I was 2 when I started ! As she continues to recuperate , Carey is looking forward to getting back to her roots . `` There 's an emotion to it , as you listen to the song start to finish , that you can tell that it 's me , '' she said . `` lt 's about letting go of maybe something that 's not right for you . But you just do n't know how to make that final move and let go of it . Like it 's not easy , it 's something that you have to learn how to do , and I think we 're all still learning . '' `` The Art of Letting Go '' will be released on Carey 's Facebook page . CNN 's Nischelle Turner and Jane Caffrey contributed to this report .
