According to the band, the name Mild Orange was chosen because "the colour orange can cause one to experience a heightened sense of optimism, a boost in aspiration, and a stimulation of warmth and happiness".
During 2018 they toured New Zealand with Jack Berry Band with stops in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch and two sets at their hometown of Dunedin. During the tour, they had a wide range of supporting artists including DJ Snakelegs, Same Name Confusion, The Halps, The Butlers, Old Boy and Hoochie World.

Mild Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A stranger to you girl.
For two more minutes, yes it's true
Then you may see that you know that you want us to be
Oh you and me
Looking for love what will be done Oh! you'll see.
A stranger to you.
Oh I'm...
A stranger to you girl.
Oh look at me,
the things we'll see I see me with you, you know it's me
Oh dreams are free
Looking for love, what will be done
Oh! you'll see
A stranger to you
'Cos you know it's you
Lucky you
Oh I'm a stranger to you girl
Yes it's true
Looking for love what have we done
Oh it's true
Yeah me and you
Then you may see that you know that you want it to be.
The lyrics of Mild Orange's song 'Stranger' seem to revolve around the idea of being unknown to someone at first but showing them your true self eventually. The song opens with the statement 'Oh I'm a stranger to you girl', indicating that the singer is not yet known to the person they are addressing, but that this will change soon. The use of 'two more minutes' suggests that their interaction is time-limited, perhaps indicating that they are in a transient situation like a party or a short meeting.
The chorus of the song focuses on the eventual outcome of their interaction, suggesting that the singer and the addressee will end up together as a couple. The line 'Then you may see that you know that you want us to be' suggests that the addressee will realise the connection they have with the singer, and that they were always meant to be together. We see that the singer already envisions a future with the addressee, as they say 'I see me with you, you know it's me' and that 'dreams are free', indicating that they are merely imagining this outcome rather than actually experiencing it.
Overall, the song seems to be a hopeful one, conveying a sense of tentative optimism about the possibility of love. The lyrics underscore the idea that even though strangers can seem like a daunting and unfamiliar prospect, they might just become the most important people in our lives in the end.

Thank you, Sarah! here lyrics in german: Oh, ich bin ein Fremder für dich, Mädchen
Noch zwei Minuten, ja, das stimmt
Dann sehen Sie vielleicht, dass Sie wissen, dass Sie möchten, dass wir es sind
Oh du und ich
Auf der Suche nach Liebe, was wird getan?
Oh du wirst sehen
Ein Fremder für dich
Oh, ich bin ein Fremder für dich, Mädchen
Oh schau mich an, die Dinge, die wir sehen werden
Ich sehe mich mit dir, du weißt, ich bin es
Oh Träume sind frei
Auf der Suche nach Liebe, was wird getan?
Oh, ich bin es
Ein Fremder für dich
Weil du weißt, dass du es bist
Du Glückspilz
Oh, ich bin ein Fremder für dich, Mädchen
ja, es ist wahr
Auf der Suche nach Liebe, was haben wir getan?
Oh, das stimmt
Ja ich und du
Dann sehen Sie vielleicht, dass Sie wissen, dass Sie es wollen

You know that feeling when you want musicians to be widely recognized and appreciated for their talent because that's what they deserve but you also want to keep them to yourself and be selfish with the discovery of such a great band? Hahaha and just like what other people said here, you guys are so underrated.
