| Song |
"Stranger" is a song written by Hilary Duff, Kara DioGuardi, Vada Nobles, Derrick Haruin and Julius Diaz, and recorded for Duff's fourth studio album, Dignity (2007). It is the third single from the album, and HMV Japan have reported a release date of June 4 2007 (see 2007 in music) for the CD single.[1] Duff's official UK site reported that "Stranger" would be the second single from Dignity to be released there.[2]
Song Information
The song is rumored to be about Duff and her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Joel Madden;[3][4][5] Entertainment Weekly wrote, "When the fairy-tale romance between [Duff and Madden] went belly-up late last year, the Good Charlotte frontman speedily rebounded into the twiglike arms of Nicole Richie, and the world moved on. Duff, it seems, did not, and hell hath no fury like a young woman scorned."[6]
According to Duff, the song is actually about how she thought her mother feels around her father, who had an extramarital affair with another woman. Duff said she wrote "Stranger" to appear to be about one of her own relationships, because she didn't want people to know about the strained relationship between her parents. "But I've realized that so many people can relate to what I've gone through", she said. Another song on the album, "Gypsy Woman", was inspired by the same situation.[5]
Release and Reception
In Duff’s blog she told her fans that they could vote for her next single, “Stranger” and “Danger” were in the lead, but “Danger” lost, and thus the single was chosen. Duff started promoting the single with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, TEENick and "George Lopez Hosts National Kidney Foundation Gala, Show".
A Vada Nobles-produced remix of "Stranger" was released on the Best Buy and iTunes Australia Editions of Dignity.
