“Dancing with a Stranger” is a collaboration between singer-songwriters Sam Smith and Normani. It’s about finding someone new, expressed in the metaphor ‘dancing with a stranger’, and moving on from an old flame.

This track was written during a short break from Sam Smith’s “Thrill of it All” World Tour in September 2018. Sam and Normani, by coincidence, were working at the same time in a Los Angeles studio with producer StarGate. In an interview to Zane Lowe, Sam said:
I was with StarGate […]when she [Normani] came in that day [ …]. I said to her ‘Do you want to hear the song?’ […]. She’s special […] she just jumped on the song there with me and she sang it and it was perfect.
