Background and release edit

The song was used as the theme song of the TV Asahi drama special Madonna-sensei wa Rock'n Roller! (マドンナ先生はロックンローラー!, Professor Madonna Is a Rock'n Roller!), which also starred Oginome.

The music video features Oginome performing the song with a group of American dancers at a dance hall.

The B-side is a cover of The Hollies' hit single "Bus Stop".

"Stranger Tonight" became Oginome's second No. 1 single on Oricon's singles chart. It also sold over 143,000 copies. In addition, the single earned Oginome the Gold Award at the 30th Japan Record Awards and the Best Kayo Music Award at the 17th FNS Music Festival.[3]
