Background and composition

In the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Story Behind the Song, Aguilera revealed the occasion, theme and meaning of "Fighter". She talked about her "very chaotic and abusive" home, where she did not feel "safe".[1] In school, Aguilera was picked on and alienated because of her musical passion.[1] However, it made her become "smarter and stronger".[1] To release herself, Aguilera started to write songs at the age of 15, both music and lyrics; and it was the way how she found her voice.[1] The writing process of "Fighter" began during her promotion for her debut album in 1999,[1] when she was "a part of the big craze pop phenomenon".[1] According to Aguilera, her debut album helped her a lot to develop the process.[1] She wanted to make an "emotionally rich and positive empowering" song, especially for women, in order for them to speak for themselves be strong.[1] About the idea of the track, she revealed, "I was coming up with titles and ideas and deciding what I wanted to write about. I had to sit down and make sense of my feelings and experiences. I learned a lot from the first record that helped me to develop. I took the good and the bad and considered some of the choices I made and became better because of it."[1] Aguilera considers "Fighter" a "natural" and authentic song, adding that "when you can be honest, you can be free, and when you're free, you do your best work."[2]

AOL Music's Nana-Adwoa Ofori noted the elements of rock and roll.[6] However, Nick Levin from Digital Spy detailed "Fighter" as an arena rock piece.[7] The song was inspired by band Guns N' Roses' song "November Rain" (1992).[8] Written in the key of E minor, "Fighter" has a moderate tempo of 96 beats per minute.[9] Brian Hiatt from Entertainment Weekly and Chuck Taylor for Billboard likened the track's musical style to that of Janet Jackson's "Black Cat".[10][11] Aguilera's vocals on the track span from the low-note of G3 to the high-note of G5;[9] Taylor labelled Aguilera's vocals "tornado of a vocal."[11]

At the beginning of "Fighter", the guitar sound was arranged in the chord progression of Em – G/D – D – C – Em/B – B – Am – C/G – G – B7.[9] Aguilera speaks the lyrics, "After all you put me through, you'd think I'd despise you / But in the end, I wanna thank you, 'cause you made me that much stronger" on the guitar theme by Dave Navarro.[9][12] Lyrically, Aguilera wants to thank the man who did her wrong rather than insult him, because he helped make her stronger and work harder, thus making her a fighter.[13] At the chorus, she sings, "'Cause it makes me that much stronger/ Makes me work a little bit harder/ Makes me that much wiser/ So thanks for making me a fighter".[9] The chords in the guitar part are E5 – F♯5 – G5 – A5 – B5 − C5 – B5 – A5 – G5 – F♯5 – E5. She continues, "Made me learn a little bit faster/ Made my skin a little bit thicker/ Makes me that much smarter/ So thanks for making me a fighter".[11] The lyrics of "Fighter" have been recognized as "empowering".[14] On the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked season 10, Aguilera said the song was about someone she loved but who "deserved it".[15]

Reception

Critical reception

"Fighter" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. David Brownie from Entertainment Weekly called it "spunkier than one would expect from a dance-floor strumpet who loves to flaunt her lung power."[16] Chuck Taylor writing for Billboard complimented "Fighter" for demonstrating that Aguilera "[has] got the goods to rise above what so many lesser acts depend on for celebrity."[11] On behalf of the same publication, Andrew Unterberger wrote that "Fighter" and "Can't Hold Us Down" are two tracks that helped "expand audience expectations of her image and sound."[17] Digital Spy's Nick Levine named it a "strutting arena rock" song,[7] while Nick Butler from Sputnikmusic simply called it "great."[18] The New York Times editor Kelefa Sanneh positively viewed the track's theme as "fearless" and "full of mildly rebellious rhetoric."[19] On a less positive side, BBC Music's Jacqueline Hodges called the song "hilarious",[20] while Jancee Dunn from Rolling Stone wrote that the song "is a sterile foray into rock."[21] Harper's Bazaar ranked "Fighter" among the fifty best songs of the 2000s.[22] In 2023, the single was listed at number five of the 100 greatest songs of 2003 list, compiled by Billboard. Stephen Daw called it the "ode to the self [which] stands as one of Aguilera's best songs to date."[23] Orlaith Condon of Ticketmaster ranked "Fighter" at number one on the list of Aguilera's best songs ever, calling it "gritty", "emotive" and "the ultimate feminist power anthem".[24]

Chart performance

In the United States, "Fighter" debuted at number 61 on the

Pop Songs chart, it peaked at number five.[33] The single also peaked at number 28 on the Adult Pop Songs.[34] On October 14, 2022, "Fighter" was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping more than 2,000,000 copies in the country.[35] As of August 2014, the single has sold 1,184,000 million digital units in the United States.[36] On the Canadian Singles Chart, it peaked at number three.[37]

Throughout Europe, "Fighter" also attained moderate success on charts, peaking within the top 15 in most of the countries where it charted. It reached number 11 in Belgium (Flanders)

Music video

The music video for "Fighter" was directed by Floria Sigismondi, who revealed that it would display Aguilera "like I don't think she's been portrayed before".[12] On March 10, 2003, and March 12, 2003, the video was filmed in Los Angeles, California and was inspired by the director's signature dark theatrics and the life circle of moths.[12] Sigismondi explained the theme and plot of the clip to MTV News:[12]

"The song is sort of about transformation, so I took that in a nature kind of way, the way nature deals with transformation. It's basically about coming from a very poisoned place to an empowerment, a place of strength. I've always had this fear of moths, and I subconsciously wrote this thing with these moths in it, so I guess I have to deal with it. They're furry and they carry dust. I found out in old mythology they are supposed to represent the soul. I think that's very appropriate".

The video begins with Aguilera wearing a black

moth pins from her back, and then tosses aside her kimono.[53] A tattered, white, moth-covered dress is revealed, symbolizing her metaphoric evolution from the larva to a pupa.[53] In addition, her hair becomes white, and moths fly around her.[53] Intercut scenes of moths and Aguilera's blue eyes are then shown. Near the end, Aguilera wears an Elvira-type spider dress, again proclaiming that she is a "fighter" before kicking at the camera.[53]

The music video for "Fighter" garnered numerous awards. At the 2003

Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, California.[56][57] The video received a Vevo Certified Award on YouTube for over 100 million views.[58]

The Voice, on which she is one of the judges and coaches, with her "Team Xtina" and Crenshaw High School choir.[73] Jonathan Hofmann called the performance "insane and bizarre as it sounds".[74]
