This then leads into them singing the chorus again.īy the end of the song Smith and Normani add some really nice background notes.
Smith and Normani flawlessly sing this part together and their voices fit really well together. “Dancing with a stranger/ Dancing with a stranger/Dancing, yeah.” She is singing about how the boy she used to be with is clouding up her mind, and that is why she went out. “I wasn’t even going out tonight/ But boy I need to get you off my mind/ I know exactly what I have to do/ I don’t want to be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight.” Normani then comes in with her part of the song: Smith is telling the person he was in a relationship with that it was their doing that led him to dance with a stranger. “Look what you made me do/ I’m with somebody new/ Ooh, baby, baby I’m dancing with a stranger.” This is a feeling that many people who have been through a heartbreak have had, and those feelings are hard to deal with. In this first verse he is talking about how he is having a hard time coping with the heartbreak of a relationship that ended, and how he does not want to be alone. Smith is well known for writing and singing songs about love.
“I don’t want to be alone tonight/ It’s pretty clear that I’m not over you/ I’m still thinking ‘bout the things you do/ So I don’t want to be alone tonight.” The opening of the song is sung by Smith:
