Lee Mead covered the ballad for his Lee Mead studio album. Background and release Edit Soon after the release of the group's first album, One Touch (2000), and its singles "New Year", "Run for Cover" and "Soul Sound", the Sugababes were dropped by their record label London Records, and Siobhán Donaghy left the group amid reports of in-fighting with Keisha Buchanan and Mutya Buena.[1] The former Atomic Kitten member Heidi Range was announced as Donaghy's replacement, and the Sugababes subsequently signed to Island Records.[1] "Stronger" was written by Buchanan, Buena and Range, in collaboration with Jony Rockstar, Marius de Vries and Felix Howard, for the group's second studio album Angels with Dirty Faces.[2] The song was conceptualised during the period in Range's life when she had not yet joined the group and was separated from her family and friends.[3] Range related her experience to the writing process of "Stronger", a technique which she suggested was essential for songwriting.[4] The song was produced and mixed by Rockstar.[2] Tom Elmhirst also mixed the song, recorded the group's vocals and programmed it.[2] Range has named "Stronger" as her favourite song from the group's career,[5] and considers it personal to her.[6] "Stronger" was released as the album's third single as part of a double A-side with the album's title track in CD, cassette and 12-inch single formats on 11 November 2002.[7][8] To promote its release, the Sugababes played the track to the Birmingham Mail in October 2002 as part of an interview,[9] and visited 95.8 Capital FM in November 2002.[10] Composition and lyrics Stronger" is a downtempo pop and R&B ballad,[11] with elements of hip hop.[12] "Stronger" was composed in the key of A minor in common time, at a relatively slow-paced 74 beats per minute.[13] The song features an orchestral musical arrangement;[14] its instrumentation is provided by a bass guitar, violin, viola, cello, double bass, drums and keyboards.[2] The song features a slow and dark melody,[15] and is reminiscent of the Sugababes' 2001 One Touch single "Run for Cover".[16] According to NME's Alex Needham, "Stronger" has a similar musical style to the American R&B group En Vogue.[17] Graeme Virtue of The Sunday Herald compared the ballad to the music of English group Massive Attack, writing: "The orchestral sweep of 'Stronger' aims for Massive Attack-style emotional sweep".[14] "Stronger" is a self-empowerment ballad that contains an "I-will-survive" testimony;[18] the chorus is opened with the line, "I'm all alone, and finally, I'm getting stronger".[19]"Stronger" debuted at number seven on the UK Singles Chart in the issue dated 23 November 2002 as part of its double A-side release with the album's title track.[29] It became the third consecutive single from Angels with Dirty Faces to reach the top 10 in the UK.[30] The single eventually spent thirteen weeks on the chart.[30] The double A-side has sold 125,000 copies in the United Kingdom, placing it twelfth on the Sugababes' list of highest-selling singles.[31] The double A-side debuted and peaked at number 34 on the Australian Singles Chart on 9 March 2003 and spent nine weeks on the chart.[32][33] It performed better on the New Zealand Singles Chart, where it peaked at number 24 and remained on the chart for eighteen weeks.[34] "Stronger" charted individually in other countries. The song performed most notably on the Dutch Top 40 chart, where it peaked at number five,[35] spent six weeks in the top 10,[35] and was placed 29th on its list of best-performing singles in 2003.[36] "Stronger" reached number six on the Norwegian VG-lista chart and spent fourteen weeks in the top 20.[37] The single peaked at number 11 on the Danish Singles Chart,[38] and number 13 on the Irish Singles Chart.[39] "Stronger" debuted at number 43 on the Ultratop chart in Belgium (Flanders) and later peaked at number 20.[40] It peaked at number 23 on the Swedish and Swiss singles charts[41][42] and reached the top 40 on the German and Hungarian charts.[43][44]
