Stronger (Sugababes song)
"Stronger" is a song by English girl group Sugababes from their second studio album ''Angels with Dirty Faces'' (2002). The Sugababes wrote the song in collaboration with Jony Rockstar, Marius de Vries and Felix Howard; it was inspired by group member Heidi Range's experience of being separated from her family and friends. "Stronger" is a downtempo pop and R&B ballad with a self-empowerment theme. It is the third single from ''Angels with Dirty Faces'', and was released as a double A-side with the album's title track. The song received mixed reviews from critics, who were ambivalent towards its composition.
"Stronger" charted at number seven on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top ten on the singles charts in the Netherlands and Norway. It peaked in the top forty in Australia and New Zealand, and many European countries. Alison Murray directed the song's music video, which was filmed at a swimming pool in London and portrays each group member as a different persona. The single was performed by the Sugababes at the Edinburgh 50,000 – The Final Push concert in July 2005, and was included in the set lists for their tours in support of ''Three'', ''Overloaded: The Singles Collection'' and ''Change''. Lee Mead covered the ballad for his self-titled studio album.
==Background and release==
Soon after the release of the group's debut 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 band member Siobhán Donaghy left the group amid reports of in-fighting with members Keisha Buchanan and Mutya Buena. Former Atomic Kitten member Heidi Range was announced as Donaghy's replacement, and the Sugababes subsequently signed to Island Records.〔 "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''.〔 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.〔 〕〔 〕 Range related her experience to the writing process of "Stronger", a technique which she suggested was essential for songwriting.〔 The song was produced and mixed by Rockstar.〔 Tom Elmhirst also mixed the song, recorded the group's vocals and programmed it.〔 Range has named "Stronger" as her favourite song from the group's career, and considers it personal to her.〔 〕 "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. To promote its release, the Sugababes played the track to the ''Birmingham Mail'' in October 2002 as part of an interview,〔 〕 and visited 95.8 Capital FM in November 2002.〔 〕
