"Strong Enough" is a song by Sheryl Crow from the album Tuesday Night Music Club. The song reached #5 on the March 25, 1995 Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the charts in Canada. Crow performed the song on her live album Sheryl Crow and Friends: Live from Central Park alongside the Dixie Chicks. The song was later included on Crow's greatest hits album, The Very Best of Sheryl Crow.
"Strong Enough" is a short acoustic song. In live performances, Crow often plays the accordion to it, although this instrument was not featured on the original recording. The song is written in the key of D major with a moderately slow tempo of 79 beats per minute in 3
4 time. It follows a chord progression of D–G5–Bm♭6–A, and Crow's vocals span from A3 to B4.
A simple black-and-white video was directed by Martin Bell. It features Crow in a largely empty room alternatively singing the song into a microphone and pacing anxiously through the room.
Travis Tritt wrote and released an answer song called "Strong Enough to Be Your Man" in 2002.
Canadian Idol alum Tara Oram covered the track on her second studio album, Revival, in 2011.
Beyoncé covered the song during her The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
