[edit] The song

"Strong Enough" is a short acoustic song, dealing with PMS.[1] In live performances Sheryl often plays the accordion to it, although this instrument was not featured on the original recording.[2]

Travis Tritt wrote and released an answer song called "Strong Enough to Be Your Man" (2002). The Dixie Chicks featured "Strong Enough" on their 2000 Fly Tour.

[edit] The video

A simple black-and-white video was directed by Martin Bell. It features Sheryl in a largely empty room alternatively singing the song into a microphone and pacing anxiously through the room.
