"Stronger" is a song by British pop group S Club 7, recorded for their third studio album Sunshine, which was released on 26 November 2001. The electronic Gallic-disco song features Tina Barrett providing lead vocals,[1] and was written by the group, Simon Ellis, Ryan Molloy, and co-produced by Jewels & Stone, alongside Ellis.

The song was initially rumoured to be the follow-up single to "You" and remixes for the song were sent to clubs and radio stations. However, the release was cancelled due to Paul Cattermole's departure from the band and only CD versions of the remixes were released in limited numbers[2].

On 5 January 2024, an EP of the song was released for the first time with brand new official artwork on all digital platforms,[1] and consisted of five remixes, featuring DJs like Flip & Fill and Solar8.[1] The EP does not consist of the album version of the track.
