Discover the story of the song > “Stepping Stone” – Duffy

The song tells the story of a woman who was hurt by her former romantic partner who cheated on her, but now he's trying to come back into her life. She is strong and refuses to be his "stepping stone," meaning she won't let him use her and hurt her again. She wants him to either be with her fully or leave her alone, and she is confident in standing on her own.
