Kenya Grace did almost everything on "Strangers" herself: the British-South African musician wrote it, produced it, recorded it and sang it, with Heavy Mellow adding guitar and extra production and JOYRYDE chipping in more production and a hand in the mix alongside Kevin Grainger. It came out on September 1, 2023, through Major Recordings, Warner's dance label, as her major-label debut and the follow-up to her viral "Meteor".
It's drum and bass pared down to something close and private, and it broke her wide open: number one in the UK, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine, top of the dance charts in both Australia and America, and number two in New Zealand and Switzerland among others. In 2024 it picked up an Ivor Novello nomination for PRS for Music Most Performed Work.
