Stronger Than I Was

Stronger Than I Was

Eminem

This sympathetic song provides an insight into Eminem’s relationship with ex-wife Kim, and how he apologizes for acting how he did towards her in the past. The song is the polar opposite of the track “Kim” from The Marshall Mathers LP album.

Moreover, Em, at least in the first two verses of the song, sings instead of rapping—which has only happened few times before:

Yo, I can’t sing, I feel like singing; I wanna fuckin' sing!

It is not clear in which perspective the first two verses are written, whether from Em’s or Kim’s point of view, and nothing was ever said about this matter either. Probably, this was left purposely vague.
