who sings im gonna swing from the chandelier
Chandelier (song) Lyrically, "Chandelier" has a sad theme talking about "the glitter and fatigue of a party girl's life".[7] John Walker from MTV Buzzworthy opined that the song has a dark theme, "toeing the line between celebration and self-destruction as it becomes increasingly more blurred".[21] The song's opening lyrics, "Party girls don't get hurt, can't feel anything ... I push it down", are sung over a reggae-influenced background.[18] Walker noted that during the chorus, Sia sings, "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier/ I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist".[21] A few critics compared the song's musical style to works done by Rihanna, including Jeremy Gordon from Pitchfork Media,[19] and Melinda Newman of HitFix.[22]
