After forgoing solo stardom to pen pop star hits—co-writing Rihanna's "Diamonds" and Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts"—Australian singer Sia returns with her first solo single in four years, "Chandelier."Sia's raspy vocals tell the story of a party girl with an epiphany. "I'm the one 'for a good time call' / Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell... Gotta get out now, gotta run from this / Here comes the shame, here comes the shame / 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 drink," she croons over a reggae-lite beat.The chorus' booming percussion and marimbas back Sia's belting—only a handful of divas could pull off her half-scream vocals and still remain sonically pleasing. Lyrically, Sia is letting go of all inhibitions ("I'm gonna swing from the chandelier / I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist") while her vocals move from shouty wails to whistle notes.The haunting tale details the Aussie's personal struggles with alcoholism and prescription drugs when she was still pushing her solo career.

In a rare interview last year, she told Billboard, "I was really unhappy being an artist. I was always a drinker but I didn't know I was an alcoholic. Then I got seriously addicted to Vicodin and Oxycodone."Now clean, Sia is expected to drop her sixth studio album—the follow-up to 2010's stomping pop-rock party We Are Born—in spring. Sadly, a clause in her contract stipulates she is not required to do promo or tour behind any records. But when pop music is this good, can we really complain?

The track is a kind of sad, modern-day Gatsby jam about the glitter and fatigue of a party girl's life, capped off with Sia's soaring refrain: "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier." The song is Sia's first original track since 2010′s We Are Born, although she did contribute a song to "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack last year with Diplo and The Weeknd.

But when you stop and hear what the Australian singer Sia is expressing in Chandelier, you can’t help but simply be amazed that this is something way beyond “just another successful hit”. Listen to the lyrics to find the song’s meaning Hidden in the lyrics, the story of the song-writer is revealing a tough and sorrowful story of one personal battle – the one that Sia herself had to lead against addictions. Of course, this technique in song-writing is popular, but what’s interesting here is the choice of words she made. The first thing that crosses one’s mind when thinking about alcoholism, partying hard and use of addictive substances is that I’m gonna swing from the chandelier could literally means suicide. On the other hand, this “swinging” points directly to the sad, broken attention-seeker who desperately needs help but fails to express in a good way this need of his own. Alone in her own fight against addictions and problems, the main character in the story (brilliantly performed by a young Sia-like girl in the video of the song) passes through ups and downs, shameful moments and despair, while having another glass full until morning light.
