"Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson and the title song from her fifth studio album, Stronger (2011). Originally titled as "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)", the song served as the album's second single on January 17, 2012, through RCA Records. Written by Kelly Clarkson, Jörgen Elofsson, Ali Tamposi, and David Gamson, with additional writing and production by Greg Kurstin, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" is an uptempo song that draws from the genres of dance-pop and electropop. Its lyrical content mainly explores themes of empowerment and recovery following a heartbreak, with the chorus inspired by a Friedrich Nietzsche quotation: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."[1]

In the United States, "Stronger" became Clarkson's third song to top the

World Music Award
nomination.

The song's accompanying music video was filmed by

Saturday Night Live, the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards, and the 2012 American Music Awards. Clarkson also included the song in the set list of her Stronger Tour and on the encore set of her 2012 Summer Tour with The Fray
.

Writing and production

Originally titled as "What Doesn't Kill You", "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" was written by Jörgen Elofsson, Ali Tamposi, David Gamson, and Greg Kurstin in September 2010.[2] In an interview with American Songwriter, Tamposi revealed that the song was inspired by the Friedrich Nietzsche adage ("That which does not kill us makes us stronger") that her mother told her as advice.[2] Although Tamposi found the phrase saccharine, she submitted it as an idea to Elofsson and Gamson during their writing sessions. Elofsson originally intended "Stronger" for Leona Lewis, who turned it down in the process.[3] Tamposi's manager, Tom Maffei, then had one of his producers, Matty Trump, produce a demo track, later pitched to RCA A&R executive Jeff Aldrich, who gave the song to Clarkson. Tamposi revealed that Clarkson had also altered a lyric from the track.[2] Aldrich had then commissioned Greg Kurstin, whom Clarkson wanted to collaborate with, to produce and add additional writing to the final version. Kurstin recalled, "I rethought the music part of it, I guess. It had a different tempo, beat, chords, and I kinda just came up with that guitar riff that goes into the verse, and that was the first thing that I kinda contributed just changed the feel of the song."[4] The song's uplifting theme of empowerment led Clarkson to name her fifth studio album Stronger.[5] Saying that it is one of her favorite songs in the album, she said, "Everybody loves the message 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' It's a perfect representation of my life."[6]

"Stronger" is a

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."[7] Jonathan Keefe of Slant felt nobody else could sell the song's "ginormous chorus" better than Clarkson.[8] Lyrically, "Stronger" explores the theme of moving on from an inimical relationship.[13] In an interview, Clarkson remarked that 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."[5] Jason Scott of Blogcritics felt that out of all tracks in Stronger, Clarkson's vocals are best and trendiest in "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)".[14]

In an interview with MTV News prior to the song's release, Clarkson compared "Stronger" to "Since U Been Gone" (2004). 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."[15]

Release and reception

After returning from a vacation on Tahiti, Clarkson found out over 50 of her newly recorded demo material were leaked online,[16] including "Stronger".[17] She commented that the leak felt worse than being physically robbed.[18] In an attempt to counter-attack the leakage, RCA finally debuted the song online on October 5, 2011, three weeks ahead of the album's release.[13] An acoustic version of the song appears in Clarkson's second extended play, iTunes Session.[19] The song was featured in a Toyota Camry commercial featuring Clarkson and other celebrities.[20] "Stronger" was officially released as the album's second single to mainstream radio on January 17, 2012.[21] A dance remixes of the song were made available on February 3, 2012.[22] On February 17, 2012, it was released as a CD single.[23]

Critical response

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."[30] 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."[31] 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 clichéd lesson, but as she continues to prove, there's little shame in coming out with the expected."[32]

On November 21, 2011, Clarkson announced on her website that she wanted to incorporate a global flash mob into the accompanying music video of "Stronger".[78] 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. Learn it with me and get your cameras ready to record you and your friends rocking these moves in a unique location that shows where you are in the world. Submit your clip using the form below and maybe you'll see it in my music video!! I can't wait to see your submissions. Remember to be creative, but keep it safe and legal! Thanks for participating!"[79]

The music video premiered on

VEVO on December 14, 2011.[80] Directed by Shane Drake,[81] the video begins with Clarkson in a video control room, watching select flash mob videos submitted by various participants in different monitors. Throughout the video, scenes of Clarkson performing the song in three different settings (alone in a stage, with her band in a garden square, and in the control room) alternate with various flash mob videos. Towards the end of the video, Clarkson, along with the people in the garden square, forms a flash mob featuring a same choreography.[82]

Reception

Critical reception towards the accompanying music video was positive. Prior to its release, Jenna Halley Rubenstein of MTV Buzzworthy predicted that the video would depict women who triumphed over broken relationships as a homage to

The Vancouver Sun interpreted that the video depicts Clarkson developing a sense of strength and endurance as well as an ability to lead a large-scale dance routine after surviving a trauma.[84] Erin Strecker of Entertainment Weekly enjoyed Clarkson's goofy expressions and perceived the video as "Since U Been Gone" round two.[85] Rand Duren of The Dallas Morning News also reiterated that the music video is a reminiscent of "Since U Been Gone" and that it was great seeing more dancing and movement from Clarkson.[86] Contessa Gayles of AOL.com described the song as "powerful" and "uplifting" and she believed that the music video did the song justice.[87] Trent Maynard of 4Music had a positive response towards the video and deemed Clarkson's look as properly fit in the video. He concluded his review writing, "Nobody has a sense of humor quite like the original American Idol. Oh Kelly, you're the best."[88] 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 favorite clip in the video was "the girls who do the moves underwater with fish swimming all around them."[89]
The video placed fourth for VH1's Top 20 Videos of the Year for 2012.
