Dancing with a Stranger
2019 single by Sam Smith and Normani

"Dancing with a Stranger" is a song by English singer Sam Smith and American singer Normani. It was written by the two alongside producers Stargate and Jimmy Napes. "Dancing with a Stranger" was released as a single by Capitol Records on 11 January 2019. It appears on Smith's third studio album Love Goes (2020). The accompanying music video was directed by Vaughan Arnell.

The track became a commercial success, topping the charts in Mexico, Iceland, and Lebanon. It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, it reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, and spent a total of 45 weeks on the chart. The track reached the top ten in seventeen additional countries. "Dancing with a Stranger" was the most-played radio track in the world in 2019, according to Forbes. The single is certified 4× Platinum in the US, 8× Platinum in Australia, and Platinum or higher in nine additional countries. It won the Song of the Year award at the 2020 BMI London Awards, and was nominated for Song of 2019 at the People's Choice Awards, and Song of the Year at the 2020 Brit Awards.

Background and composition

According to Billboard, the collaboration happened through a chance encounter at a recording studio in Los Angeles. When Smith was writing a track with their frequent collaborator Jimmy Napes and the Norwegian production team Stargate, Normani happened to be in the studio next door. After talking, the two decided to work together.2

Musically, "Dancing with a Stranger" is a disco-R&B3 and pop4 duet that contains 1980s-inspired R&B production.5 The song was written by Smith, Normani, Napes and Stargate. The latter two also handled production for the track alongside Danny D and Tim Blacksmith. Journalist Monica Mercuri of Forbes described the single as "sultry" and showing off the singer's "powerful" vocals.6 David Renshaw, writing for The Fader, called the song a "veer away from [Smith's] gentle soul sound".7 Lyrically, the song is about coping with loneliness and moving past a lost love.8

Critical reception

Brittany Spanos, writing for Rolling Stone, stated the song "plays to [Smith's] retro-leaning strengths and Normani's own solo vision of being a Sexy soul-dance diva". She concluded her review by calling the song "simple and fun".9 Rose Dommu of Out praised the duo's vocals, saying Normani's "sultry voice is the perfect counterpoint to Smith's own deep tone".10 Mike Nied of Idolator wrote that the song "expertly capture the frustration and loneliness of heartbreak, bottling it and presenting it as something both deeply personal and infinitely relatable".11 Billboard magazine called the song a "sexy earworm",12 lauding the pair's "standout vocal delivery", with Smith's "seductive falsetto accompanied by Normani's smoky counterpart".13

Associated Press ranked it as the 2nd Best Song of 2019.14 Billboard ranked it 38th on their Best Songs of 2019 list.15 The song received praise from actress Reese Witherspoon who dubbed it the “Song of the Summer”.16

Commercial performance

In the United Kingdom, "Dancing with a Stranger" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart in January 2019, becoming Smith's eleventh, and Normani's first top ten single in the UK, as a solo artist.17 It was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.18 In the United States, the song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2019, making it Smith's sixth and Normani's second top ten single in the US, as a solo artist.19 In May 2019, "Dancing with a Stranger" topped the US Radio Songs chart, becoming Smith's second and Normani's second chart topper there.20 It also topped the US Adult Top 40 and reached number two on the Mainstream Top 40 chart, behind "Sucker" by the Jonas Brothers.2122 The song also topped the Big Top 40 chart.23

In other countries, "Dancing with a Stranger" peaked inside the top ten in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Canada, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Iceland, Lebanon and Sweden.2425 It was also certified 8× Platinum in Australia,26 4× Platinum in Canada,27 4× Platinum in New Zealand,28 and Gold in few other European countries. "Dancing with a Stranger" was the most-played global radio song in 2019, according to Forbes.29 The song was also the 4th most played song on radio in 2019 in the US, receiving over 3.134 billion audience impressions, according to Billboard.30

In March 2021, the single was named by the Official Charts, as one of the most-streamed songs by a female artist in the United Kingdom.31 As of March 2022, the song surpassed over three billion streams.32 It has sold over ten million units worldwide according to Capitol Records.33

"Dancing with a Stranger" was selected by music executive Clive Davis for his quarantine playlist, which compiled songs that he and Barry Manilow considered to be "the most impactful and lasting songs of the 21st century", that the latter was set to cover.34 5 Seconds of Summer performed a cover of the song for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.35 The band's version won an IHeartRadio Music Award for Best Cover Song.3637 Kelly Clarkson sang a rendition of the track for her Meaning of Life Tour, and told the audience that the two singers inspire her to "keep making music."38

Lawsuit

In 2022, Smith, Normani, and Stargate were all sued by Jordan Vincent, Christopher Miranda, and Rosco Banlaoi, who alleged that "Dancing with a Stranger" copied their 2015 song of the same name. According to Vincent, Miranda and Banlaoi, "The hook/chorus in both songs—the most significant part and artistic aspect of these works—contains the lyrics 'dancing with a stranger' being sung over a nearly identical melody and musical composition"; the music video was also named in the infringement as both songs' videos contain similar elements.39

Californian judge Wesley L. Hsu dismissed the case on Wednesday 6 September 2023, saying that "most if not all of the plaintiff's claimed similarities" were not protectable by law, and that the phrase "dancing with a stranger" was not unique enough, pointing out "nearly 20 references" in other previous songs.40
