What is the song Dancing with a Stranger by Sam Smith ft Normani all about?

A stranger is someone you are not familiar with.

In the song, the artists still have strong emotions for their ex-lovers and can’t seem to wipe off memories of them. They desire the presence of their former lovers and suffer from loneliness. 

In order not to be lonely, they headed to a clubhouse, and, they eventually met someone who relieved them of the memories of their ex-lovers for a while. 

Lyrics to Dancing with a Stranger by Sam Smith ft Normani

Verse 1 (Sam Smith)

I don’t wanna be alone tonight 

It’s pretty clear that I’m not over you

I’m still thinking about the things you do 

So I don’t wanna be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight

Can you light the fire?

I need somebody who can take control 

Pre-chorus (Sam Smith)

I know exactly what I need to do

‘Cause I don’t wanna be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight

Chorus (Sam Smith)

Look what you made me do, I’m with somebody new

Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger

Look what you made me do, I’m with somebody new

Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger

Dancing with a stranger

Verse 2 (Normani)

I wasn’t even goin’ out tonight

But, boy, I need to get you off of my mind 

Pre-chorus (Normani)

I know exactly what I have to do

I don’t wanna be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight

Chorus (Normani)

Look what you made me do, I’m with somebody new

Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger

Look what you made me do, I’m with somebody new

Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger

Bridge (Sam Smith and Normani)

Dancing with a stranger

Dancing with a stranger

Dancing, yeah, ooh ooh yeah

Look what you made me do

I’m with somebody new

Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger

Sam Smith and Normani

Look what you made me do, I’m with somebody new

Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger
