"Stronger"
Song

"Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," sometimes referred to as just "Stronger", and originally known as "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)," is a song by American pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson. It was written by Jörgen Elofsson, Ali Tamposi, David Gamson, Greg Kurstin, and produced by Kurstin. It was sent to mainstream radio on January 17, 2012 by RCA, as the second single from Clarkson's fifth album, Stronger. The song is an uptempo pop rock song that uses vibrant beat pulsating with synth and electric guitar. According to Clarkson, the song was inspired by a Friedrich Nietzsche quote, translated to "That which does not kill us makes us stronger", and its lyrics contain the theme of empowerment. The song is considered as an anthem for recovery after the end of a bad relationship.

Critical reception for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" was mostly positive. Critics were impressed with the song's catchy hook and strong chorus although some of them panned the lyrics for being too clichéd. The song is a commercial success in the United States; it topped Billboard Hot 100 and became Clarkson's third number-one song, after "A Moment Like This" and "My Life Would Suck Without You." The song also topped Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs, making Clarkson as the first artist ever to have topped the Hot 100 and each of Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs, Country Songs, Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Songs charts. The song also achieved commercial success internationally; It charted inside the top ten in Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Poland, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Scotland.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Shane Drake. It incorporates the theme of a global flash mob which features worldwide fan involvement. The music video garnered positive receptions from critics who felt that its overall impact was joyful and fun. Clarkson has performed "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" in several live appearances, notably during the first season of the American singing competition The X Factor, the 2011 VH1 Divas special, and on the 37th season of Saturday Night Live. Clarkson also included the song in the set list of her Stronger Tour.

Background and release

"Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" was written by Jörgen Elofsson, Ali Tamposi, David Gamson, Greg Kurstin. Elofsson also co-wrote "A Moment Like This", which was released as a non-album single by Clarkson in 2002 following her coronation as the first American Idol winner.[1] The song was inspired by the Friedrich Nietzsche quote, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger,"[2] which was written in his book Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer in 1888 and was originally attributed to Alexander the Great. In an interview with MTV News prior to the song's release, Clarkson remarked that she could not wait to perform the song live. She commented, "We've already rehearsed it, and it's so much fun. It's like this big dance anthem. That'll be the one [that's] kinda like 'Since U Been Gone,' [with] people jumping up and down to [it], and it's just kind of really inspiring, so I can't wait to perform that one."[3] The song's empowerment and uplifting theme led Clarkson to name her fifth studio album as Stronger.[4] She also stated that the song is one of her favourite songs in the album, saying "Everybody loves the message ‘What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.’ It's a perfect representation of my life."[5]

In July 2011, after returning from a vacation on Tahiti, Clarkson found out that some of her songs were leaked online[6] and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" was one of the many songs.[7] Clarkson commented that the leak felt worse than being physically robbed.[8] In an attempt to counter-attack the leak, Clarkson finally debuted the song on October 5, 2011, three weeks ahead of her album's release, writing "Hey ya'll - I heard that some versions of 'What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)' started showing up online. My new album Stronger is out in 3 weeks (Oct 24) and I want you to hear the real thing! Check it out!"[9][10] "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" officially impacted United States Top 40/Mainstream radio on January 17, 2012.[11] The acoustic version of the song appears in Clarkson's second EP, iTunes Session.[12]

"Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" is a pop-rock song with a length of three minutes and forty-one seconds.[13] According to the sheet music published by Alfred Music Publishing, it is set in a common time and has a moderately fast tempo of 116 beats per minute.[14] Written in the key of A minor, it follows the chord progression Am–F–C-G/B where Clarkson's vocals span two octaves, from G3 to E5.[14] The song begins with a rumbling guitar and a shimmering synth riff as Clarkson sings the opening line "You know the bed feels warmer / Sleeping here alone."[15][16] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard noted that the guitar riff in the verses is reminiscent of Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" which narrates an anthem of personal reinvention, and dancing.[17] The bridges contain vibrant beat pulsating with synth and electric guitar that display some elements of electronic sound.[18][19] During chorus, the song explodes into an upbeat dance-pop number, complete with guitars and electronic drums as Clarkson sings "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger / Stand a little taller / Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone."[15] Bill Lamb of About.com believed that the sound of the driving guitar on the chorus "gives the words even more impact than they would have in a simple pop chorus"[20] while Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine felt nobody else could sell the song's ginormous chorus better than Clarkson.[21] Lyrically, the song is about moving on from a nasty ex who won't leave you alone.[16] It is also considered as "an anthem for recovery after the end of a bad relationship."[1] According to Clarkson, the song doesn't refer to a specific person, stating "I didn't have a bad breakup or anything, I just think life is about relationships so I always write all about these different ones going on in my life. And I don't have a filter, so it's pretty verbatim."[4] Jason Scott of Blogcritics felt that out of all tracks in Stronger, Clarkson's vocals are best and trendiest in "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)."[22]

Critical reception

The song received positive reviews from contemporary critics. Scott Shetler of PopCrush gave the song four stars out of five, lauding its strong hook and empowering message. He ended his review by calling the song as "vintage Kelly Clarkson."[18] Jenna Hally Rubenstein of MTV Buzzworthy compared the song to Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," which has "a super radio-friendly hook."[23] Elizabeth Lancaster of MTV Newsroom listed "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" as one of five key tracks in Clarkson's album Stronger, writing "Upbeat yet soulful, the chorus will drag you up and onto the floor to dance the heartache away alongside her."[24] Grady Smith of Entertainment Weekly thought that the song's "belty pop/rock wheelhouse" should please fans of the sound. He later added that "Clarkson might have been better off releasing "What Doesn’t Kill You" as the first track from Stronger."[25] Another positive reception came from Glenn Gamboa from Newsday, who praised Kelly for "infusing her tales of empowerment after a breakup with her unique combo of vulnerability and sass."[26] Bill Lamb of About.com praised the production of the song, writing "Don't miss this song. It is one of Kelly Clarkson's strongest, pun intended."[20] Otherwise the majority of the critics, Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine thought that the song is a "tailor-made for radio play" and that "the chilly electro-pop that Greg Kurstin brings to the verses, suggests a Top-40 version of Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend".[21] Chris Willman of Reuters criticized the lyrics, commenting that "Never mind how tired that tune's titular phrase is. For a laugh, look up the YouTube video in which some wag mashed together a medley of 30 different songs that already borrowed "That which does not kill me makes me stronger" as a lyrical hook."[27] Kevin Ritchie from NOW Magazine emphasized that the lyrics are "about as clichéd as a mission statement can get, but it also makes for a solid pop song."[28] Entertainment Weekly ranked "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" as the tenth best single of 2011.[29] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five, writing "The message behind her song may already be a well-worn, almost cliched lesson, but as she continues to prove, there's little shame in coming out with the expected."[30]

Music video

Concept and synopsis

Clarkson standing in the middle of a flash mob crowd.

On November 21, 2011, Clarkson announced on her website that she wanted to incorporate a global flash mob into the music video of "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)".[62] She posted,

I'm shooting my video for "What Doesn't Kill You" and I'd like everyone to join me in my global flash mob! Check out the routine in the video below.

She is watching various clips of people dancing on a screen monitor. She is also seen singing on a stage with her band. The scenes are shown alternately for about half way through with a variety of montage that show people from various places performing the same dance routine. It is also revealed that Clarkson is singing on a stage in a garden square and a cut-scene shows people starting to assemble at the square, getting ready for a flash mob. Then, Clarkson is seen joining the crowd, performing a rendition of the same dance routine. The final scene shows Clarkson and the crowd disperse as the song comes to an end.[66]

Reception

He concluded his review writing, "Nobody has a sense of humour quite like the original American Idol. Oh Kelly, you're the best."[73] Bill Lamb of About.com felt that the overall impact of the music video was joyful fun.[65] The same opinion was echoed by Robbie Daw of Idolator who thought the video was fun especially "when Kelly herself joins the giant mob at the very end." He also stated that his personal favourite clip in the video was "the girls who do the moves underwater with fish swimming all around them."[74]
