"Something So Strong" is a song written by Neil Finn and Mitchell Froom and performed by Crowded House for their eponymous debut album (1986). The track was released as the album's fifth and final single in April 1987. The single peaked at No. 18 on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart, No. 3 in New Zealand, No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and No. 10 on the Canadian RPM 100 Singles chart.
The track lends its title to the book, Crowded House: Something So Strong (1997), by Australian biographer Chris Bourke, which details the band's career in the 1980s and 1990s. According to Bourke, "Something So Strong" was the first song written by Finn specifically for Crowded House. However, Froom and Finn reworked parts of the song; thus, Froom is credited as a co-writer.
