I like this. This is also very immediate for me, which makes this the first Sia single to do that.

I hope this goes massive, just like Cheap Thrills.

I hope you guys are right, because after several listens I'm getting flop vibes out of this (after the initial sales rush). I really want to be wrong though, her huge success simply must continue. The video is properly amazing. Somehow a great continuation of what she did with the Chandelier video without seeming desperate to copy it like Alive felt. Could be a big asset to this on the charts. What's up with the Orlando shooting theories on the vid though? Not understanding that one.

The rainbow face paint, the nightclub dance feel in the later half of the video, how they all tumble as if they were shot, and I think there are bullet holes in the walls somewhere.

Yes there is Bullet holes in walls at the last dance part and rolling disco balls. It very clear this is a tribute to the victims and there is 49 dancers in the video. Also you notice at the end the girl and another guy were still alive but playing dead. This is a very good video and tribute IMO. I think this is a Smash, very radio friendly and following Cheap Thrills it should easily get some early traction.

I think it's really good.
Definitely not a Chandelier or an EH though.

The song is fantastic, but the video is even better. I think it might be my favorite Sia music video along with Chandelier and Soon We'll Be Found

It's good but kinda just there. The video certainly took the song to another level. Still hoping "Reaper" would see the light of the day as a follow-up single.

I like this song a lot. I already bought it and I'm not usually like that with her. "Cheap Thrills and Chandelier" are my favorites by her. Sia wasn't my thing before. I'm appreciating her more now. I think that probably has to do with her music being a little more mainstream now. I also really liked "Alive" but I can see where some people may not have liked it.
I have to add I don't think she had to rush this song out. There were other options from her current cd that could have done well and probably sold more copies of her cd. However this song has more of the "Cheap Thrills" vibe so maybe they want to build on that?

I'm absolutely here for this and the video is great too. Really hoping this takes off and becomes a solid top ten hit at the very least.

All I can hear during the chorus is: "I'm free to be the greatest dandelion"
Sia misheard lyrics ftw again!

Is it just me or does this song sound wise kinda remind me of Capsize by FRENSHIP ft Emily Warren?

Everything about this is amazing. I was a little mad she didn't released any more single from This Is Acting but I get it why it's the follow up instead.

This is amazing! Wow. The video is fantastic as well. I think this one will take off much faster than her previous singles. Can't wait!

I definitely like the Lamar version to the solo one. There is something about sia that makes me just want good things for her. Great song

I hope they release a version with a cold ending for the radio... it was quite odd to hear a modern pop song with a fade the first time I listened.
edit: Yes, I know -- in the spirit of the song, the fade works symbolically.

Damn, what a good song and video. She is quickly becoming a favorite of mine and has been for few years now. What a talent.

This is far from the perfection of Chandelier and Cheap Thrills, but it's a fun little bop.
