"On the Record: Stronger Than Me" goes behind the scenes with songwriter Kate York and creator/executive producer Callie Khouri, as they share their thoughts on what the song means to them creatively and personally.
"This was one that I just felt was a perfect song for her to do. This is just a Rayna Jaymes song. She's going through quite a bit in her relationship with Deacon. There was something about the lyrics that I just believed; it would have come out in their conversation. She would have heard that phrase and known that was a song," shared Khouri.
"She [Connie Britton] texted me the other day, and she wanted my advice; she's like, 'I hope I do it justice.' You don't realize how much of an honor it is that you're doing this song," said Kate York.
