"Strong As Steel" is the name of a 1987 hit single by British pop group Five Star, the second release from their third album, Between the Lines.

The song was written by notorious song writer Diane Warren, who has also written songs for Cher, Tina Arena and Michael Bolton amongst others.

The video features Denise trying to get someone to repair her car that has been stolen and left in a dilapidated state. Denise is determined to get it repaired no matter what the cost, much to the amusement of sister Doris.

"Strong As Steel" was Five Star's first ballad single, and some fans were unsure of its musical direction. The song peaked at #16 in the UK. Tina Arena released her version of "Strong As Steel" as a single in Australia in 1990, where it reached #30.
