"Stronger Than Me" is a song by English singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse from her debut studio album Frank (2003). Written by Winehouse and Salaam Remi, "Stronger Than Me" was released in the United Kingdom as the lead single on 6 October 2003, it ended up as the lowest-charting single from Frank and of Winehouse's career, peaking at number 71 on the UK Singles Chart. The song nevertheless won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song Musically and Lyrically in 2004.
In 2015, the song was featured on the film soundtrack of Amy which depicts the life and death of Winehouse. It was said in the film that "Stronger Than Me" first sold over 800 copies a day after its initial release by Winehouse's previous guitarist, Ian Burter.
The single for "Stronger Than Me" features an exclusive B-side, "What It Is".
A music video was produced to promote the single. The video features Winehouse entering a bar and finding her boyfriend drunk. The video follows the lyrics of the song as Winehouse degrades her boyfriend for his failure to be the stronger and more dominant partner. The video continues as Winehouse acts as the more dominant partner helping her boyfriend home. Winehouse is seen being fondled by her drunken boyfriend as they struggle to exit the bar, then seen looking on in disgust as he vomits in the car driving them home. As the video concludes, Winehouse is seen on a retro street set struggling to get her unconscious boyfriend into their home. Failing to do so, Winehouse gives up, leaving him semi-conscious on the street and going inside as the song ends.
Oh, here I go again
Walking the line, killing time
Between my sins
Oh, why do I come here
The ending's still the same
I'm bringing back old tears
I act like I don't know
Where this road will go
Pour me something stronger
Pour me something straight
All these crooked voices,
Make them go away
I can barely stand up
I can barely breathe
Pour me something stronger than me
Pour me something stronger than me
Sunrise hurts as much as you
You both come up when I
Don't want you to
Oh, I can still hear you say
That you and I will both
Be better off this way
These things that I run to
What I put my heart through
Pour me something stronger
Pour me something straight
All these crooked voices,
Make them go away
I can barely stand up
I can barely breathe
Pour me something stronger than me
Pour me something stronger
Pour me something dark
Pour it up so high
'Til I can't feel my heart
I can barely stand up
I can barely breathe
Pour me something stronger than me
Pour me something stronger than me
