It is now August, the eighth month in the year 2020, and what a year it has been. There has been a lot going on this year including a global pandemic, civil unrest, murder hornets, wildfires, and so on.

The song is technically about a breakup, but we can make it work for whatever we want.

"Stronger" was on Kelly Clarkson's fifth studio album of the same name.
