"Strong’ came from a moment in my life when I was processing past grief,” Romy said, “Whilst writing the lyrics I was thinking about my cousin Luis, we both have the shared experience of our mums passing away when we were young. I recognise in him the same trait I have which is to try and hold emotions down and put on a brave face. The song was a way to connect with these feelings, offer support and ultimately find a sense of release in the euphoria of music.”

I still hate it to this day. I love the rest of it, because I wrote the rest of it. Billy said, “Trust me, they will be doing this” (headbangs). And he was right!"
