Strong is a heartfelt, mid-tempo pop-rock track by One Direction. Released as a promotional single on 20 November 2013, it appears as the seventh track on their third studio album, Midnight Memories. The song reflects the emotional vulnerability of openly admitting, “I need you… you make me strong”—challenging traditional notions of stoic masculinity and expressing love without fear.
