"Love Is a Stranger" is a song by the British pop duo Eurythmics. It is the opening track off their second album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). Originally released in late 1982, the single peaked outside the top 50 in the UK, but it was re-released in 1983, reaching the top 20 in several countries, including number six in the UK.[2] The single was re-released again in 1991, to promote Eurythmics' Greatest Hits album.
Both the 7-inch single and the 12-inch single were backed by "Monkey Monkey" as a B-side; the 12-inch single also included "Let's Just Close Our Eyes", a song that borrowed musical elements from "The Walk", which was the second single from Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This.[3]
