Album : 1000 Forms of Fear
The song features Sia's "jaw-dropping" vocal performance. Lyrically, "Chandelier" talks about "the glitter and fatigue of a party girl's life". The song has a melancholic theme, detailing the demoralisation and rationalisation of alcoholism through the typical thought process of a "party girl". The video is of the performance at the 57th GRAMMY's feat. Kristen Wiig and Maddie Ziegler.
