"Strange Girl" lives on Song for Our Daughter, Laura Marling's seventh studio album, which arrived on 10 April 2020, a record addressed to a daughter who existed only in her imagination, with Maya Angelou's Letter to My Daughter as a spark. Marling wrote the song alone and produced it with her longtime collaborator Ethan Johns.
The cast is small and well chosen: Marling and Johns on guitars, Johns adding percussion and a triangle, Dan See on drums and Anna Corcoran on piano, with Dom Monks engineering and mixing alongside Johns. The album went on to a Mercury Prize shortlisting and a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album.
