Context

This line is from the song "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera, from the album Stripped (2002).

Peaking at #20 on the US charts, "Fighter" might not be Christina's biggest hit, but it's one that's close to her heart (and really, #20 ain't bad). As she's said on several occasions, this track is about gaining strength from people who treat you wrong. She's been in the entertainment biz since she was eight, so she's probably met a lot of people like that. This rock/R&B hybrid is still celebrated as the empowering anthem that it is. Put up your dukes—here's Christina in all her glory.

Where you've heard it

Oh, you know, contestants have belted out this chorus on American Idol, X Factor, and all those shows. Christina herself recently performed it on The Voice, for which she's a judge. And like so many pop songs before it, "Fighter" has also gotten the Glee treatment.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Well, this is Christina's "expressing herself as an artist" song, but the message seems pure and straightforward to us.
