Brooks said at Popculture: "There are points in your life you never get across," "You both just get to this point, where you argue and argue and then you just get exhausted, and you're done, and that's kind of our way. We have two or three points in our life like that." "That song addresses two of those three points, so I noticed when I looked up at her, at those points, she was kind of laughing, smiling, and crying at the same time," "so this song's going to actually make our relationship better, whether it does anything in the business or not."{{cite web|url=https://popculture.com/country-music/news/garth-brooks-perform-stronger-than-me-2018-cma-awards/|title=Watch Garth Brooks Perform 'Stronger Than Me' at 2018 CMA Awards|website=Popculture|last=Thompson|first=Gayle|date=November 16, 2018|accessdate=January 1, 2021}}
