Eventually, she works up the courage to boldly declare, "I'm alive!" and the track explodes into the kind of soaring refrain we've come to expect from Sia, her voice occasionally cracking under the emotional weight of the lyrics. So, she decided to record it herself - and I'm so glad she did.ĭuring the first verse, Sia sings about enduring a tumultuous childhood: "I was born in a thunderstorm/I grew up overnight/I played alone/I played on my own/I survived." In the first half of the chorus, she repeatedly reminds herself that she's "still breathing" as the instrumental begins to swell in the background. Interestingly, Sia reportedly penned "Alive" with Adele for her next LP (which allegedly has a release date, by the way), but it didn't make the final track list. The powerful tune serves as the lead offering from the 39-year-old Australian artist's upcoming new album, This Is Acting, which she told NME in February is comprised of songs she wrote for other people. There's no better way to start your day than with a little new music from Sia: On Thursday, Sia premiered her new single, "Alive," and it's going to blow you away.
