Composition ( Edit ) `` Chandelier '' A 21 - second sample of `` Chandelier '', an electropop ballad featuring electronica, contemporary R&B and reggae influences Problems playing this file ? See media help. `` Chandelier '' was written by Sia and Shatkin and was produced by Kurstin and Shatkin. It was described as an electropop ballad, featuring `` soaring '' synthesisers, `` militant '' drums, and hip hop beats with electronica, R&B, and reggae influences. The song features Sia 's `` jaw - dropping '' vocal performance. The song is written in the key of B ♭ minor and it follows the chord progression of Bbm -- Gbmaj7 -- Ab -- Fm in the verses, Gbmaj7 -- Bbm - Ab in the pre-chorus, and Gbmaj7 -- Ab -- Db / F -- Gbmaj7 in the chorus. Lyrically, `` Chandelier '' has a sad theme talking about `` the glitter and fatigue of a party girl 's life ''. 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 ''. The song 's opening lyrics, `` Party girls do n't get hurt, ca n't feel anything... I push it down '', are sung over a reggae - influenced background. Walker noted that during the chorus, Sia sings, `` I 'm gon na swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier / I 'm gon na live like tomorrow does n't exist, like it does n't exist ''. A few critics compared the song 's musical style to works done by Rihanna, including Jeremy Gordon from Pitchfork Media, and Melinda Newman of HitFix. Critical reception ( Edit ) ' Chanderlier ' has received critical acclaim. Andrew Trendall from Gigwise wrote that the song `` springboards Sia from a behind - the - scenes genius into a superstar in her own right ''. Gordon from Pitchfork Media praised Sia 's vocal performance on the track and commented that the track `` is enough to make you want to swing from a chandelier ''. Bradley Stern from the website MuuMuse labelled `` Chandelier '' the best pop single of 2014, complimenting Sia 's songwriting credits and her voice on the song. In a VH1 article, Emily Exton shared that thought, deeming it the best song Sia had ever written. Writing for Time magazine, Jamieson Cox deemed `` Chandelier '' a `` disarming, unforgettable listen that 'll make you glad Sia kept this one for herself. '' In a less enthusiastic review, Melinda Newman from HitFix thought that Sia `` can do a lot better than this ''. Billboard listed `` Chandelier '' as the best song of 2014. The song received nominations at the 57th Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, with its video receiving a nomination for Best Music Video.

In the video, Ziegler wears a medium - length blonde wig matching the one that Sia used to promote the album.

An alternative one - take version of the clip was released in June 2014. Sia had seen Ziegler on Dance Moms and asked her to appear in the video via Twitter. The video was directed by Sia and Daniel Askill, shot by cinematographer Sebastian Wintero and was choreographed by Ryan Heffington. Ziegler shared her thoughts about the choreography with New York magazine : I like the whole dance. It was really different and weird for me, because I usually do n'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 toes ! '' But this time it was like, you just need to let go and feel it. The choreography was praised by media outlets ; an editor from The Guardian wrote that Ziegler `` dances with such impressive flexibility ''. Nolan Feenay from Time magazine commented that the dance moves in the video could be the best dance routine of 2014. `` Chandelier '' received nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year and Best Choreography, and ultimately won the latter. It was also nominated for a 2015 Grammy Award for Best Music Video. The video went viral on YouTube and became the seventh most - watched video on the video - sharing website of 2014.
