The music video for "Stronger" is considered by fans as their most "chilled out" video from the group[citation needed]. It was later included on one of Hed Kandi's Winter Chill compilations.

In the first scene Mutya Buena boils up enough courage to leave her superstar boyfriend. When the car stops at the lights, Buena gets out of the car and walks out, leaving her boyfriend yelling at her.

In Keisha Buchanan's scene, you can see her at a "support group" in one of their classes. She confesses things, while the group nod in unison. She gets up and leaves.

In Heidi Range's part she is a stripper and like Buena, acts up the courage and leaves her profession, saying she is "stronger".
