However, after much deliberation, Sony BMG decided to release the track as a single, believeing that fans would enjoy something different, rather than Barlow's regular pop-ballad style. "Stronger" was performed live many times before it was announced as a single, most notably at 95.8 Capital FM's Party in the Park, on the April 12th edition of Top of the Pops, and as the finalists' dance track on Italian Talent Show Festivalbar.
