Stranger was rumored to be about Duff and her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Joel Madden;Entertainment Weekly wrote, "When the fairy-tale romance between [Duff and Madden] went belly-up late last year, the Good Charlotte frontman speedily rebounded into the twiglike arms of Nicole Richie, and the world moved on. Duff, it seems, did not, and hell hath no fury like a young woman scorned."

According to Duff, the song is actually about how she thought her mother feels around her father, who had an extramarital affair with another woman. Duff said she wrote "Stranger" to appear to be about one of her own relationships, because she didn't want people to know about the strained relationship between her parents. "But I've realized that so many people can relate to what I've gone through", she said. Another song on the album, "Gypsy Woman", was inspired by the same situation.

In Duff's blog she told her fans that they could vote for her next single, and "Stranger" amassed the most votes. Duff started promoting the song with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, TEENick and "George Lopez Hosts National Kidney Foundation Gala, Show".

The video for the single premiered on Yahoo! Music on May 30, 2007, and was directed by choreographer Fatima Robinson. On May 10, 2007 TMZ.com published a photo from the set of the music video in which Duff was reportedly dressed as a snake charmer. Duff said that she is not dressed up as a snake charmer, but that the video has an Indian style, and she said that it is her best video to date.

The video begins with Duff running out of her home to talk to her romantic partner, unfortunately he drives off before she gets her chance. Afterward the screen shows framed pictures of Duff and her partner before transitioning into a dinner scene in which Duff and her partner are having a large feast with a large amount of friends, her partner is seen flirting and talking to another young woman at the table which Hilary's character finds agrivating. The scene soon transitions into an indian lounge in which belly dancers entertain the men in the room. Her partner is again seen flirting with a young woman and talking to other men in the room, soon Duff comes out in her own Indian style costume and does a belly dancing routine with other dancers, while the screen shows quick shots of Duff alone in a room with a hoodie singing the lyrics of the track. Afterwards the video shows Duff and her partner alone in bed, and yet another scene of her partner flirting with the same young woman at the dinner party. The video transitions again to a modern club filled with laser lights and people and Duff comes intp the club with a very short shiny blue dress, Duff goes over to her partner and teases him before going over to another man and dancing provacatively with him to get her partner angry and jealous. She soon breaks into another dance routine, while slow motion shots of Duff dancing are woven into the scene. Afterwards, Duff is having a very angry argument with her partner in their home, and she is seen later going through her boyfriend's phone looking at his text messages from the other woman. At the end of the video, Duff is seen leaving the couples home with suitcases and the video ends with a final shot of Duff in the hoodie. The video is set to premiere on Friday June 1st, 2007 on MuchOnDemand. While the video will premire on June 4th, 2007 on TRL.

The "Stranger" music video is not the continuation of the "With Love" music video.
