Remember last week when we found out dates regarding Sia’s return to pop, as a solo artist? Well, it just happened (because today is March 17) and WOAH. Chandelier can only (well, not only, obviously) be described ‘epic’. That word is hugely overused, in pop culture generally but is completely and 100% warranted in this scenario.
Written by Sia (duh) alongside Jesse Shatkin and produced by Greg Kurstin and Shatkin, the track touches on themes of alcohol/drug abuse/overuse – it’s lyrically pretty raw and tense, coupled with Sia’s searing vocals and a level of production that puts every number one single this year thus far to shame.
