Stronger Than Me

Stronger Than Me

Amy Winehouse

“Stronger Than Me” tackles Winehouse’s back-and-forth experience with her early partner Chris Taylor. The two dated on and off before Winehouse came to the decision that Taylor simply wasn’t man enough for her, and that the roles in the relationship had quickly reversed.

The song stirred up some controversy due to its objectification of gender roles, with Winehouse insisting that her partner act manlier and tougher.

The extended version of the song, released in 2003 as part of Winehouse’s debut album Frank, includes a scat rendition as an introduction to the song before “Stronger Than Me” continues.
