A less stripped-back version of the song was debuted during a festival appearance last month, the group treated ticketholders attending Malta Weekender to the track’s premiere. The festival was the band’s brainchild and featured a lineup curated by the group themselves, billed to perform included Bullet For My Valentine, While She Sleeps, Motionless In White along with various DJ sets. During the band’s set on Saturday 28th May 2022, they performed some of their old favourites alongside the new material. The live set marked a decade since some of the tracks had been played live, the group opened with “Liquor & Love Lost”, the song was last performed live in 2008.

Although the band have featured on various tracks this year, “Strangers” will be the band’s first 2022 release as the lead artist. This year, Bring Me The Horizon lent their talents as featured artists for multiple artists, most notably with Ed Sheeran at this year’s BRIT Awards. The duo joined forces to perform a heavier rock-influenced version of Sheeran’s top selling single “Bad Habits”, the new partnership and performance proved popular and was released as studio single. Sykes has previously spoken with BANG Showbiz concerning working again with Sheeran, “We’re talking about it. We’ve been emailing each other and figuring out what it could sound like and what it would be. I think Ed’s really excited about it and we are too.”
