Stronger-er-er

The song that I choose is Stronger by Kelly Clarkson. It is released in 2000s. The reason why I choose this song is that it inspires me a lot. The first time when I heard this song is when I was in primary school, I was too little and only found the song was pretty loud and powerful and it made me feel high. As I grow up, I understand more about the deep meanings behind the song.

It is an amazing song. Obviously, the lyrics of this song are about the feelings of the singer after break up. She is telling that guy that she is good and all the pain that he gives her make her stronger. Even enough that guy thinks she will be lost with out him, it turns out that she is better off without him. As she sings: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, she is telling herself that she is strong and also telling us that don’t be afraid of being lost in love and trying to face those problems and making ourselves stronger. In lyrics, she also talks about the difference of “along” and being “lonely” (“Doesn't mean I’m lonely when I’m alone”) She is along but not lonely without that guy! Kelly Clarkson sings this song loud and repeatedly, as a way to convince her that she will be fine alone. The lyrics also state that singer starts over with someone new to express her opinion that she can be better without that guy. The lyrics are strong, loud, powerful and aggressive. 

Kelly Clarkson said:" That song is just a gold mine - it's a little bit pop, a little bit pop rock, a little bit dances, and it ties everything in. And everybody loves that message. 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' It's a perfect representation of my life." I think it also represents how my own life looks like. I can also get hurt in love, what I can do is to tell myself that life will not stop because of anyone, so I'd better face problems bravely and make myself stronger. As it sings in the lyrics:" What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger, just me, myself and I". It is why I think this is a powerful song for me.
