"When Lovers Become Strangers" is the third US single release from American singer/actress Cher's 20th album, Love Hurts (1991), released in US and Canada only in late May 1992.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Third shot from Cher's fine Love Hurts album is a mournful pop ballad, fueled with a memorable hook and a restrained vocal. Soft, easygoing arrangement will fit equally well within AC and top 40 formats." A reviewer from Cashbox called it a "rock ballad", adding that it "features a more AOR production and seems like more the direction she wants to go."
