"Tougher Than the Rest" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen from his 1987 Tunnel of Love album. It was released as a single in some countries, following "Brilliant Disguise" and the title track, but was not released as a single in the United States. It reached as high as No. 3 on the Swiss charts, and also reached the Top 20 in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Austria. While the song is not one of his most popular ones in the United States, it sold much better in the United Kingdom and is one of Springsteen's most beloved songs in Europe.
