"Never Trust a Stranger" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kim Wilde, released as the third single from her sixth album, Close (1988). Remixed from the original album track by her brother, producer Ricki Wilde, it was released in September 1988 by MCA Records following several European tour dates supporting Michael Jackson. It became another big hit for Wilde in Europe, peaking within the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland and United Kingdom. An extended version of the single remix is included on the 12-inch and CD-single formats, and a different remix ("Sanjazz") was released in the UK on an alternative 12-inch single.
