"Stranger" teamed the Australian electronic duo Peking Duk with the Swedish singer Elliphant, and it reached the world in October 2016 on Sony Music Australia after a long, stubborn gestation. The three of them started it in Sydney late in 2015, while Elliphant was on tour for the Falls Festival, then tore it down and rebuilt it again and again over the following year. At one point she was stuck on a vocal the duo weren't happy with and told them to hand the song to someone else; they refused, and she has said she's grateful, because hearing another singer on it would have annoyed her no end.
The persistence paid off: three ARIA nominations in 2017 with a win for Song of the Year, then Dance Work of the Year at the 2018 APRA Music Awards.
