Released in 2014 as the lead single from the album “1000 Forms of Fear,” this song made a global impact.
While it may at first sound like a glitzy party track, it actually explores darker themes such as addiction and self-destructive impulses.
Sia’s soaring high-tone vocals and the shocking music video featuring Maddie Ziegler likely left an indelible mark on the MTV generation.
Nominated for four Grammy Awards and peaking at No.
8 on the U.S.
charts, the song conveys the poignant desire to numb emotions out of fear of being hurt.
Highly recommended for those who can relate to the loneliness behind the glamour.
In conclusion
For many in the Yutori generation, the Western songs they encountered in their youth may be coming back to life along with nostalgic memories.
The tracks we used to hear casually on the radio or TV back then might reveal new charms when we listen again now.
May these timeless classics, loved across eras, add even more color to your musical life.
