"Stronger" is a song by American recording artist Britney Spears, taken from her second studio album Oops!... I Did It Again (2000). It was released on November 13, 2000, by Jive Records as the third single of the album. After meeting up with producers Max Martin and Rami in Sweden, the singer recorded several songs for the album, including "Stronger". The teen pop and dance-pop song has self-empowerment lyrics about a girl who is tired of her cheating boyfriend and decides to live without him. It received positive reviews from music critics, who described the song as both musically and lyrically innovative and considered it the best dance track from the album.

"Stronger" achieved commercial success worldwide, reaching the top five in Austria, Germany and Sweden, while reaching the top ten in Finland, Ireland, Switzerland and United Kingdom. "Stronger" peaked at number eleven in the United States' Billboard Hot 100, and was later certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for selling over 500,000 units of the single. An accompanying music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who considered it as a thematic departure from Spears' previous music videos. The music video received a nomination on the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Pop Video.

Spears has performed "Stronger" in a number of live appearances, including at the Radio Music Awards of 2000, American Music Awards of 2001, a Fox special titled "Britney in Hawaii", and in two of her concert tours. It was first performed on Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour (2000–01), as the first song from the show, and last performed at Dream Within a Dream Tour (2001–02). In 2010, "Stronger" was covered by actor Kevin McHale for an episode of TV series Glee titled "Britney/Brittany". The cover received positive reviews from contemporary music critics.

In 1999, Spears began work on her second studio album, Oops!...I Did It Again (2000), in Sweden and Switzerland.[4][5] After meeting up with Max Martin and Rami Yacoub in Sweden, recorded several songs for the album,[4] including "Stronger", which was written and produced by Martin and Rami.[6] After going back to the United States, the singer revealed in an interview with MTV News, "I just got back from Sweden, and did half [of] the material [for Oops!] over there. I was really, really happy with the material, but we had [such] limited time to get so much done. So I've just really been in the studio nonstop, which is cool, though."[4] Spears recorded her vocals for the song from November 1999 to January 2000 at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.[6] "Stronger" was released on November 13, 2000 as the third single from the album.[7]

"Stronger" is a teen pop and dance-pop song that features a heavy dance beat,[3] and lasts for three minutes and twenty-three seconds.[8] According to the digital music sheet published at Musicnotes.com, the song is composed in the key of B major and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 108 beats per minute, while Spears vocal range spans from C♯3 to C♯5.[9] Music critics noticed the song as Spears' declaration of independence, which is perceived in self-empowerment lines such as "I'm not your property" and "I don't need nobody".[1][2] Despite not being written by the singer, it was speculated that the song is directed to the singer's record label and her management.[1] In a review for the album, David Browne of Entertainment Weekly noted that "Stronger" together with "Don't Go Knockin' on My Door" is reminiscent of Rolling Stones' "The Last Time" (1965).[2]

[edit] Reception

[edit] Critical response

"Stronger" received positive reviews from music critics. Stephanie McGrath of Jam! considered the song "the best dance track" of Oops!, deeming the song "every bit as good as as *Nsync's 'Bye, Bye, Bye' or The Backstreet Boys' 'The One'."[10] Tracy E. Hopkins of Barnes and Noble, while reviewing the album, said, "Spears shines on the tongue-in-cheek lead single, the triumphant 'Stronger'..."[11] David Veitch of Calgary Sun considered "Stronger" to be as "another boom-bastic upbeat track", while saying the song is "notable for its foghorn synth, fabulous rhythm track and heavy effects applied to Britney's voice. Why she's panting at the end of the bridge is anybody's guess."[1] A review by the NME staff compared "Stronger" to songs recorded by ABBA, saying, "there's the deranged helium synth pop of 'Stronger' with the huge ABBA chord change in the chorus that sounds scarier and more robotic than the Backstreet Boys."[12] Andy Battaglia from online magazine Salon said "Stronger" "could crush the entire self-help industry with its melody alone."[13]

[edit] Chart performance

In the United States, "Stronger" managed to peak at number eleven on Billboard Hot 100 and number seventeen on the Top 40 Mainstream chart.[14] It was also certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for selling over 500,000 units of the single.[15] "Stronger" also peaked at number two on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales component chart, and number thirty-seven on Rhythmic Top 40.[14] "Stronger" also achieved commercial success worldwide, reaching number four in Austria and Sweden,[16] six in Ireland and Switzerland,[16] and eight in Finland,[16] while reaching the top twenty in several European countries.[16] On the week of December 16, 2000, "Stronger" debuted at number seven in the The Official Charts Company from the United Kingdom, falling to number eleven in the following week.[17] In Australia, the song peaked at number thirteen,[16] and was later certified Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for shipments of more than 70,000 units of the single.[18] In France, "Stronger" reached number twenty, making it the lowest chart position for the song worldwide.[16] However, it was certified Silver by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP), for selling over 125,000 units of the single.[19] In Germany, the song reached number four on the Media Control Charts, being certified Gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) for shipping over 150,000 units of the single.[20]

[edit] Music video

Spears in the video for "Stronger". Wearing a futuristic outfit, she performs while dancing with a chair throughout the video.

The music video for the song was directed by Joseph Kahn, who revealed that the concept for the music video was created by Spears herself, by saying "I would like to dance in a chair and drive in a car and break up with [my] boyfriend. [...] Those are your three elements."[21] Kahn revealed that upon hearing Spears' chair idea, he was immediately reminded of Janet Jackson's music video for her single "The Pleasure Principle",[21] and ended up creating, according to Jocelyn Vena of MTV, "a semi-futuristic world in which Spears walks into a club, breaks up with her cheating boyfriend and triumphantly walks in the rain, knowing her life is better off without him."[21] Kahn also considered the music video as very sophisticated, saying that it is "definitely a departure from the sort of candy-colored videos she was doing before, so I always thought this was the transition between Britney the teenage pop star and Britney the sort of diva she became."[21] An alternate footage of the video can be found on the DVD of Spears first compilation album Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.[22]

The video begins with a closed caption that reads "Britney Spears – Stronger", amidst the sound of a storm. It then cuts to a close up of Spears looking at her boyfriend, who is smiling with another woman holding him. She realizes she is better without him and walks away, after saying, "Whatever," to the audience. There is a shot of the tower they were in, in an apparent semi-futuristic world. At the beginning of the first chorus, Spears starts dancing with an Emeco 1006-style chair in front of a black background.[21] The second half of the video finds Spears driving away from the party in a classic Ford Mustang during a thunderstorm; however, before long, her car goes into a spin out, then stops on the very edge of the bridge. After recovering from the shock of it, she's forced to continue walking on in the rain. Cuts of her dancing with a cane, transformed from the chair, are also included. The video ends with Spears walking across a bridge.[21] Nuzhat Naoreen of MTV praised the music video, saying, "few performers can work an entire routine on and around a chair as well as Britney did in 'Stronger'".[23] The music video received a nomination on the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Pop Video.[24]

[edit] Live performances and covers

Spears first performed the song live on 2000's Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour. The show began with the video introduction "The Britney Spears Experience", in which three images of Spears welcomed spectators to the show.[25] Then, a giant metal orb was lowered onstage and lifted again to reveal Spears standing behind it. Wearing a glittery jeans and an orange halter top,[26] she opened the show with a dance-oriented performance of the song.[27] "Stronger" was last performed on 2002's Dream Within a Dream Tour. After a dance-oriented performance of "Boys", Spears performed the song, in which she wore a paint-covered robe and in some shows a bowler hat.[28] Spears also performed the song on several television appearances, including on the American Music Awards of 2001,[29] and on a MTV special titled "Total Britney Live".[30] A Fox special titled "Britney In Hawaii", aired on June 8, 2000, included an exclusive performance of the song.[31] A performance of "Stronger" live from Germany was broadcasted on Radio Music Awards of 2000, since Spears was on tour by the time of the awards.[32]

"Stronger" was covered by Kevin McHale on TV series Glee, on an episode titled "Britney/Brittany", that was dedicated to the singer. In the episode, McHale's character Artie has a hallucination of himself singing "Stronger" during a dental visit.[33] The cover received positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Raymund Flandez of The Wall Street Journal enjoyed the cover version, appreciating the twist of having males sing a feminist empowerment song,[34] while Tim Stack of Entertainment Weekly deemed "Stronger" his favorite performance of the episode, as well as the best incorporation of Spears' music, as the song served Artie's storyline.[35]
