Stranger " is a song by Australian electronic music duo Peking Duk featuring Swedish singer Elliphant . The song was written late in 2015 in Sydney while Elliphant was touring for the Falls Festival . The song was redone by the trio several times over the year . Elliphant is grateful the duo ignored her request " to give it to another artist " , saying " I told them that maybe there would be a better person to do ' Stranger ' because they were n't satisfied , I was n't coming up with the vocal they wanted . If I heard it out there with some other girl now I would be so annoyed . " At the ARIA Music Awards of 2017 , the song was nominated for three awards , winning ARIA Award for Song of the Year . At the APRA Music Awards of 2018 , the song won Dance Work of the Year
