“Stranger (2025 Version)” takes us on a journey through heartache and longing. As the lyrics reflect, when you see someone dear after a time apart, you may wonder if they still hold the same spark in their eyes. The line “When I see you, will your eyes be just as bright?” encapsulates this hope and trepidation. It’s a relatable feeling for anyone who has experienced the bittersweet pangs of love.
As the song unfolds, as1one captures the desperation of loving someone deeply yet realizing the risk of losing them. Lyrics such as, “It’s scary when you love somebody knowing you could lose somebody,” resonate well with many listeners. This juxtaposition of love and fear illustrates the emotional complexity that often accompanies relationships.
Despite the external changes that life brings, the internal struggle remains rooted in our hearts. The haunting question posed—“Everything around us is changing, will you be a stranger when I see you again?”—perfectly embodies the fear of drifting apart. as1one poignantly expresses this sentiment through lines about praying for a connection that transcends time.
Ultimately, “Stranger (2025 Version)” reminds us that love is a delicate balance of joy and sorrow. It urges listeners to cherish every moment with their loved ones before they become strangers.

Formed in the summer of 2022, as1one (Aseel Farah, Nadav Philips, Neta Rozenblat, Niv Lin, Ohad Attia, and Sadik Abu Dogosh) was conceived following an extensive nationwide effort led by veteran industry hitmakers and music producers.
In 2023, as1one relocated to the United States, where they began writing and recording music. They arrived in Los Angeles on October 6th, 2023, one day before the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
Despite being deeply affected by the news and ongoing conflict, the group, composed of Israeli Jewish & Palestinian Arab members, haven’t let anything obstruct the brotherhood they have built over the course of their time together. Through the collective power of pop music, the group is overcoming barriers, and hopes to inspire new generations to do the same, a sentiment more important now than ever before.
