Produced by Zakk Cervini, BloodPop and Evil Twin, it was released as the second single from the band's seventh studio album Post Human: Nex Gen on 6 July 2022.

[4][5] The band were originally meant to release the single prior to the festival but were unable to due to not being able to shoot a music video in time.

The song touches on the different kinds of trauma in its lyrical content and how Sykes wanted to use that to bring people with mental health problems together.

Coming out of lockdown and the pandemic, everyone is recovering from something and I'm so aware that so many people struggle daily with differing traumas, and just wanted to stress that they're not in this alone… and we're a community here to help each other.

[20] The music video for "Strangers" features disturbing visuals of people being overtaken by alien-like viruses in desolated warehouses, suffering in pain while their faces are being horrifically mutated into contorted figures.
