Strong Enough is the second international single release from American singer/actress Cher's thirty-first album Believe.
After its performance in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, "Strong Enough" was perceived to be less successful than its predecessor "Believe", but after its remixes were promoted the song became a huge hit in the Billboard dance charts.
Outside of North America, Strong Enough was capable of becoming a hit. While it received less attention in the U.S., Strong Enough managed to become a top ten and top twenty hit in almost every country that it charted in.
[edit] Music video
The music video for Strong Enough was directed by Nigel Dick and was released world wide in early 1999. A promo VHS tape and CD-R were released in the United States, but are very hard to find. The video promo also includes the remix video.
In this video Cher is a computer virus and her role is an advisor who tells a bad boyfriend the reasons why his girlfriend will leave him. Other participations in this video include teens in a party, two women, two robbers and lots of gothic instrument players.
A couple of months after the release of the original music video for Strong Enough Dan-O-Rama best known for his work on remix videos created the "Vocal Club Edit" video for this song. He used the Strong Enough (Pumpin' Dolls Vocal Epic Club) remix.
