Carrying a sentimentality throughout its warm melody and candid lyrics, the track reminds us of the risk we take in allowing ourselves to fall in love, in allowing ourselves and our hearts to be completely vulnerable. as1one captures the complicated back-and-forth that is yearning and acceptance, singing in the midst of inevitable change and Life's cruel continuity. Full of hopefulness, pining, adoration, and a fondness for what or who once was, as1one successfully pulls at our heart strings yet again, giving us a beautiful song that we simply can't get enough of. "Stranger" forces us to come to terms with the question we've all asked ourselves: "Will I be a stranger when I see you again?"
At its core, "Stranger" is a compelling track that makes us reflect on our emotional dilemmas while still managing to look forward. Starting out with a simple, delicate piano instrumental and steady vocals, the listener is instantly drawn to every lyric and breath. While the vocals aren't isolated, they stand out in the intricately built texture of the track, creating a dramatic, yet sentimental feel. As the verse progresses, more instruments are introduced and the emotional impact grows with each passing measure. The tight harmonies, firm drums, and catchy melody seem to become more and more impassioned as one keeps listening. Though the subject matter is heavy in its realness, the upbeat tone works to uplift our spirits, urging us to hold our heads high in hopes that we will reunite with that special someone. In all, as1one's production, lyricism, and creative vision really shine through in this song, giving us something warm to hold onto in our turmoil and hardship.
