"Strong Enough" is a song by American pop rock group Jonas Brothers, featuring vocals from American country music singer Bailey Zimmerman. It was released as a single through Republic Records on November 10, 2023. Producers Jon Bellion, the Monsters & Strangerz (Jordan K.

Vocals were handled by Nick and Joe of the Jonas Brothers, as well as Zimmerman.

Background

In a press release, the band and the singer both spoke about the other. The Jonas Brothers said: "We're so excited to team up with Bailey for 'Strong Enough'! He's such a talented artist who's had an amazing year, so it's been a blast collaborating with him". Zimmerman said: "I've been a fan of the Jonas Brothers for as long as I can remember. I literally grew up with them! It's been incredible to get to know Joe, Nick, and Kevin, and we've already shared some memories I'll never forget. The fact that they would ask me to be on a song still blows my mind. I hope y'all like it as much as I do!".

Composition and lyrics

"Strong Enough" is a pop song that incorporates country and americana and sees Zimmerman starting the song off: "Been a hell of a week, but we made it, yeah, we made it / Hear the bar shuttin’ down, but we stayin', yeah, we stayin' / Only got so long 'til the morning comes / And life is too short to be wasted". He, along with Nick and Joe Jonas assist on the chorus: "So light me up / Twist me something good / Make it strong enough, last long enough". A midtempo track, harmonies are present in the chorus and includes guitar riffs and a relaxed instrumental.
