“I played the Opry one night and all my friends came because I was newly single,” Carter Faith tells American Songwriter of “Strong Stuff.” “This guy, one of the other artists, came into our dressing room asking for alcohol. That’s the only time I ever hung out with him, but I wrote this entire song about him. I had this crazy girl crush on him.”

Despite their brief meeting, Faith has a lot to say about this mystery man. She aligns herself with him, singing We got the same kinda curse. It’s the kind of infatuation that prompts the listener to blush.
“‘Strong Stuff’ is basically my going out to the bar and looking to find someone to flirt with theme song,'” Faith shared in a press statement. “I’m someone who can be a lot to handle and I’m only into men who like it that way.”
He likes the long burn
Right kinda wrong hurt
He don’t mess around with
That watered down shit
Something that ain’t sweet
So I think he’ll like me
With whiskey and love, takes more than a buzz
Yeah, he only fucks with the strong stuff
