Chandelier was released by Sia in 2014 as the lead single from her album 1000 Forms of Fear, and it became one of her defining songs. Its striking music video, featuring dancer Maddie Ziegler in a blonde wig performing in an empty apartment, helped it spread far beyond radio and turned the chorus into a widely recognised pop moment. Years later the song remains a staple in dance videos, talent-show performances and social-media edits because its vocal climax is instantly recognisable and easy to build a visual moment around.
About this sound
The powerful chorus from Sia's Chandelier, with soaring vocals over a driving pop beat. Creators use it for dramatic reveals, dance edits and emotional moments.
This clip captures the explosive chorus of Sia's Chandelier, opening with a rush of drums and synths before her unmistakable voice climbs into a soaring, almost desperate high note. The production is big and anthemic, with layered backing vocals and a pounding rhythm that builds tension and then releases it all at once. Listening to it feels exhilarating and a little chaotic, like a moment of reckless freedom caught in song. That mix of power and vulnerability is why it lands so hard in edits, instantly raising the energy and making a simple scene feel dramatic, triumphant or emotionally charged.
