He also spoke about the song 'Hope This Makes You Love Me', saying: 'I have a record on this album that’s extremely special. On the flip side, from a spiritual and mental standpoint I’ve had to go through a lot in the last few years to get to a space where I am this happy or this excited about my life and where it’s going.' I’m not compromising being talented, I’m not apologizing for the gifts God has given me. In June 2014, in an interview with Ebony, Tank explained the album title, saying: 'Musically, it leans to my strengths as a musician as a singer as a songwriter as the entertainer I’ve always wanted to be. The album debuted at number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 16,621 copies in its first week of release. The album was supported by the single 'You're My Star'. The album was released on August 12, 2014, by Atlantic Records. Stronger is the sixth studio album by American R&B recording artist Tank.
