"Strange Relationship" is the second solo single released by Australian singer Darren Hayes in 2002. It was expected to be another hit single, and received enormous radio support in Australia. Unfortunately the song did not connect with listeners and it did extremely poorly on the charts, barely making the top 20 in Australia.
