"Not My Neighbour" is a song by New Zealand musician Niko Walters, released as a single in August 2020.
In 2021, a new version was recorded featuring American R&B singer Kiana Ledé.
[1] Walters was inspired by the written works of Leonard Cohen and films by Quentin Tarantino to create a song that told a story using detailed visual imagery, as a way to "put a different spin on a classic love song".
[4][5] "Not My Neighbour" is a contemporary R&B song,[6] that describes a love story using the metaphor of a police hunt.
Walters felt that "Not My Neighbour" was "an unusual song that doesn't really fit the style of everyone's vocal and feel", but Ledé's style was a good fit after she called him and discussed her ideas for the new version of the song.
