"Strangers" (also known as "Stranger") is a song by Canadian singer/songwriter My Name Is Kay featuring guest vocals from American rapper Pusha T. The song was released as the second single from Kay's self-titled debut EP, although she does not consider the track, or previous single "My Name Is Kay", as singles, but simply refers to them as "songs". Kay explained that the meaning of the song is that feeling when "your boyfriend only loves you when you're alone", and lyrically the song talks about Kay's character going to a party, and being treated like a "stranger" by her love interest. Inspiration for the song also came to her from watching re-runs of the late '80s, early '90s sitcom Perfect Strangers, featuring the characters Balki and Larry. She says: "Ryan and I were looking at pictures of them and I was saying how one of them looks like my dad. Then we started writing this hook, this kind of old school 'na na hooo.' It just came to us: 'Let's write it about perfect strangers.'" ==Critical reception== Critical reception of the track was mainly positive, however some criticized Pusha T's verses, and questioning the need for his vocals to be featured on the track. Liz Trinnear of MuchMusic praised the song, picking it as the best track on the EP, and compared Kay's lyrics to the likes of "Rye Rye meets Gwen Stefani". Homorazzi writer Tyrell highly praised the track, saying it "showcases what Kay does best - sing a catchy hook and tell an excellent story lyrically". Karen Bliss of MSN Entertainment also wrote a poritive review of the track, however believed the song "Diddy Dum" should have received single status in its place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strangers (Kay song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
