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]
Maddie Ziegler Ziegler has appeared in music videos for such artists as Alexx Calise, Sia and Todrick Hall.[24][25] She gained wide notice, at the age of 11, by starring in the 2014 video for "Chandelier" by Sia, who discovered her on Dance Moms.[19] The video won the ARIA Music Award for Best Video[26] and received nominations at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year and Best Choreography, winning the latter.[27] It was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 2015.[28] It has received more than 1.6 billion views on YouTube, and it was, at one point, the 13th most viewed YouTube video of all time.[29] Ziegler said of the choreography: "It was really different and weird for me, because I usually don't, you know, be a crazy person every time. It was so fun to do and it was really out of the box and it expanded me a lot, because I'm used to competition dances where you're like, Point your legs! But this time it was like, you just need to let go and feel it."[30]
