Anyone else find that this song is pretty similar to Unstoppable both in sound and lyrics? Why not just release that, instead of recording essentially a retread of it?

I initially didn't, but my boyfriend showed me how similar they are. It doesn't bother me though, the song is good and we are both fans.

This might be my favorite Sia mainstream single. I want a radio edit without Kendrick though, his part doesn't add anything to the song imo.

This song, "Unstoppable" and "Cheap Thrills" all have it. (Unstoppable has a slight variation on it, but the basic structure is there).

I know I'm late to the party but I finally watched the video and listened to the song in full tonight. Loved it! And wow at that video. One of my favorites this year. My first girlfriend (and now best friend) was contemporary dancer and I would see her rehearse and perform and she would talk about the process, etc. I loved that vibe. That's why I'm so in love with how Sia has incorporated this element to her art. This is a great video that combines powerful message, dancing, positivism, and sorrow. A visual tribute that is not really saccharine but is still poignant; and lyrics that are just positive but that could be interpreted in more than one way...
A side comment. And in the spirit of the "Precious Illusion sounds like Papa don't preach" (huh?) comments floating around... The music in the bridge reminds me of No More I-love-yous...

The satellite radio at the pub I work at already added this to its playlist. It sounds fantastic in the bar. :) The remixes for this song should be good. Even the amature ones on YouTube are fun. I like this one cause I was in the mood to dance. youtu.be/an3yzhiJvlcSomeone also did an extended version and since I thought the song was to short this also worked for me it loops at the end. youtu.be/pgi4HdRr3iE

You probably shouldn't expect updates until this makes the top 50.

I already feel like we're in for a painfully slow climb here, where it maybe peaks in the top 20 after months. Ugh, couldn't we just have BSF or Reaper?

The video has over 35 million views in a week, the song is #5 on iTunes and doing well on spotify. Cannot wait for this to start smashing on radio. I'm calling this very early, but I believe this'll get to #1 on the Hot 100.

This could have been a single from either of her last two albums.
I've seen several reports of a new album "We Are Your Children" coming later this year.

Debuts #26 on the Canadian Hot 100 just after a half week release. Already Top 40 on pop and Cheap Thrills still holds at #1,on Canadian Airplay.

Top 50 so fast! We may have a Sia single that doesn't take years to take off *_* The song is great and it has a lot of momentum thanks to "Cheap Thrills". The video is great as well, yes Sia get another smash hit!
