@xreddragonx I was 7, I remember it pretty clearly, though I have never been very into it. I really don't think you give kids enough credit. Some kids have older siblings who introduced them to music at a young age, like in my case. However, I remember songs playing on radios from as early an age as 4. Just because a child isn't old enough to understand the song lyrically, doesn't mean they can't remember liking the tune.

@xreddragonx Just because you were an adult when this song came out doesn't make you better than anybody else. I don't understand why you can't just enjoy the song instead of making rude, childish comments like this? Grow up.

Whoever disliked this "Gotta be" stupid.

@sharkycomplete This is very true, why do people think that MOST kid shows (lesson in kindergarten) involve LOTS of singing? At a young age music can be advantageous in learning! In fact kids learn faster than adults, why do you think people tell you to start your kids off speaking different languages (the younger the better) is so good! So, while children may not grasps the meaning of the song (some do, surprisingly), doesn't mean they can't memorize it or get a feeling from it!

This song has always been a favorite of mine. Ever since I was a little kid in the mid/late 90s.

@ienjoybooks Agreed!

@xreddragonx Because everybody knows that when you're 16, you don't need any song telling you tha 'you gotta be strong'... Songs like this one saved me more times than I can count. I'm 20 and perfectly able to able to understand and appreciate this song - and English is not my first language, so I guess, remember to look elsewhere to find idiots.

Shouldn't it really be about the message of this song and not the age of the people who are listening to it or commenting on it??? Because there really are no adults on here if even the "over" 18's have to criticize younger kids for listening to this song because they weren't born when it was released and then the same ones complain complain about the music that is popular today and about the fact that teenagers no longer listen to "good" music.
