Strong in the Real Way

"Strong In the Real Way" is a song written by Rebecca Sugar. It was first sung by Pearl, and later by Steven to help himself coach Greg, Sadie, and Lars in the episode "Coach Steven". Pearl and Steven look back at each other constantly throughout the song, as if to prove their points.

Trivia

 * This is the first time both Steven and Pearl sing a duet.
 * Pearl refuses to say 'jealous' in the song.
 * Although it rhymes with the previous verse.
 * Her jealousy gets exposed in the "Week of Sardonyx" story arc; not only is Pearl jealous of Sugilite's strength but she is also jealous of Amethyst for being allowed to fuse with Garnet - something which both of them greatly enjoy.
 * A portion of the chorus's melody plays near the end of the song "Sugilite Returns".
 * This is the first song that Pearl sings aside from the opening.
 * This is the third song relating to a Fusion Gem, chronologically, the second. The first being "Giant Woman" the second being "Stronger than You" in this case, the fusion herself, Garnet, is singing.
 * This song is referenced in Attack the Light. Sometimes, while encouraging or healing Pearl, Steven will yell out "You're strong in the real way, Pearl!"
