The song's production process was arduous, with West and his team mixing the track reportedly over 75 times, including after its release as a single. West also describes 'Stronger' as an 'emancipation', using the track to vent his frustration over mistakes he made in the past year.
On 'Stronger', West speaks about the resolve that comes when one is faced with adversity, with lyrics at the song's refrain that paraphrase Friedrich Nietzsche's dictum 'What does not kill me makes me stronger'. For the track, West utilizes a vocal sample of 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' by French house duo Daft Punk. The composition is electronic in nature, employing synthesizers as its prominent instrument. The production was handled by West, with an extended outro co-produced with Mike Dean. 'Stronger' is a song by American rapper Kanye West, released as the second single from his third studio album, Graduation (2007).
