"Stronger Than Before" features songs of inspiration, courage and hope. Olivia selected each track because of the messages that relate to the complex emotions cancer patients and their loved ones experience. Working primarily with other women and trusted friends, many of who are cancer survivors, the CD features seven tracks produced by Chong Lim and Olivia Newton-John, two produced by Amy Sky and one produced by Amy Sky and Kim Bullard. The ten songs include Phenomenal Woman, based on the poem by Maya Angelou, featuring the voices of Patti LaBelle, Diahann Carroll and others; Can I Trust Your Arms, written by Olivia's daughter, Chloe, as a special Christmas gift for her mother; and That's All I Know For Sure, written by Olivia for her daughter.
An interesting piece of trivia is When I Needed You is written by Ben Thomas, who starred in the Toomorrow movie along with Olivia in the early 1970s.
