The song was written by Adele with Ludwig Göransson and serves as the album’s opening track. Its title was confirmed on November 1, 2021, when the album’s track listing was revealed online. Adele wrote “Strangers By Nature†with Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson, largely known for his work on film and television soundtracks. As the album opener, “Strangers By Nature†has been compared favorably to album closer “Love Is a Game,†with many music critics noting similarities between the songs and the work of Judy Garland.The 2019 biopic Judy, based on Garland’s life and career, served as an inspiration for the track, as did the 1992 film Death Becomes Her. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Adele revealed that, sonically, “Strangers By Nature†differed so much from her previous work that she almost considered giving it to another artist to sing or sample. “You know in the old movies when someone’s having a flashback or a memory to something else, and it’s almost like they’ll shoot a river or a pond and the water goes all ripply?†she said. “It reminds me of that.â€.
