"Strong" comes from If You Wait, the 2013 album by British indie pop group London Grammar, and it's built on Hannah Reid's words, set to music she wrote with Dot Major and Daniel Rothman. Tim Bran and Roy Kerr produced it with the band, Kevin Davis mixed it and Manon Grandjean engineered, and the result is all space and slow ache.
Released as a download in Britain in September 2013, it climbed to 16 on the UK Singles Chart, their best showing there, and went top ten in Australia, where a High Contrast remix helped push it along. Sam Brown directed the video in Los Angeles, out on the 6th Street Viaduct, where Nash Edgerton and Savannah Young play it out amid a healthy dose of pyrotechnics.
