Surasshu
"This definitely qualifies as a career highlight for me! The song was composed by Rebecca Sugar, and an initial demo arrangement was made by Jeff Liu, which Estelle sang over. Estelle is one of my favorite modern R&B singers, so this was a daunting and yet enticing proposition to arrange.

''Taking Jeff’s arrangement as a guideline, we really wanted to emphasize the euphoria of Garnet being reformed. Rebecca told us to capture the feeling of “there’s no way she could lose”. I also felt that the new Garnet design warranted a new Garnet bass sound (for those of you keeping score: where Pearl is piano, Garnet is represented by synthbass), so this was a great opportunity to showcase it. I also felt like the bridge needed a synth solo, so I went all out on this one!''

''Aivi did a fantastic job adding to this arrangement by making the string sections magical (especially at the end when the song turns dramatic) which were then beautifully performed by Jeff Ball. Everybody did such a great job with this song, and I’m extremely proud of the final result.''

''Thank you all for watching the season finale! Tune in tomorrow for “Full Disclosure”!''"

"Here's the demo I arranged for Stronger Than You! Rebecca wrote and recorded the vocal and omnichord tracks, and I put everything else together in Logic. We used this track to figure out the timing for the action sequence and for Estelle to sing to. Aivi and Surasshu then made it a billion times more awesome for the final version!"

"The Stronger Than You DEMO! By me & Jeff Liu! Jeff was trying to figure out this rhythm that I couldn't quite pin down, you can hear me tapping it out on the table in the background of this track!"

Trivia

 * The song's romantic theme refers to Sapphire and Ruby's relationship.
 * When Garnet says "I am their fury, I am their patience," she is referring to Ruby and Sapphire respectively.
 * The tune of the chorus is the same melody that Sapphire sang while she was in her prison cell.
 * Its motif is also heard during "Reconciliation", another song dedicated to Ruby and Sapphire.
 * The tune was also hummed during Something Entirely New in "The Answer", by Ruby and Sapphire.
 * Most of the sounds of conflict (landing hits, hitting the ground/wall) are in sync with the song's tempo.
 * In the area Jasper crashes herself and Garnet into/during the "second part" of the song, the shape in the green orb in the background appears to "dance" to the rhythm, though the movements seem to be in consistent intervals.
 * Throughout the song, Garnet's visor changes in dominant color depending on whose (Ruby/Sapphire) behavior she's representing.
 * The chord progression of the intro of this song is the same as the Grover Washington, Jr. song, "Just the Two of Us".
 * Estelle found the meaning of this song to be similar to "Gold" by Spandau Ballet and the theme from "Fame".
 * The way Garnet summons her weapon is reminiscent of a type of warm up exercise called, "Bollywood Style", where the dancer drags their hands from their knees and passes through their hair.
 * This song also has similar themes of strength to "Strong in the Real Way".
 * In the Danish version, some parts of the song are sung by Ruby and Sapphire together.
 * The French version censored Ruby and Sapphire's romantic relationship (Garnet refers to herself as "a friendship). Due to controversy, they rerecorded the song and removed its censorship.
