"Don't Talk to Strangers" is the second single from Hedley's third studio album, The Show Must Go released on October 27, 2009. [1] The song has peaked at #11 on the Canadian Hot 100.
"Don't Talk to Strangers" was written by Hedley and Jason Van Poederooyen while production was handled by Brian Howes who also co-wrote the track. The song is a rap-influenced track. [2] Speaking about the song, Hoggard stated;
"That song may or may not have been inspired by a cougar experience. This was one of those videos where the plot unfolded as we delved into the lyrics. My favourite part is actually the bridge. It's kind of like Nine Inch Nails. It's just a really fun song." [3]
The music video was released in November 2009 and was directed by Colin Minihan. [4] The plot has the band being kept hostage by a psychotic but attractive middle-aged woman. She uses the band for entertainment and sexual pleasure, killing them and throwing them into the back of her trunk in the end. [5]
