# Floating Through Space

"Floating Through Space" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Sia and French DJ David Guetta. It was released on 4 February 2021 by Monkey Puzzle and Atlantic Records as the first promotional single from Sia's ninth studio album Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture, and was later released as a single.

## Background and release

Sia announced the release of "Floating Through Space" on 3 February 2021, the day before it was released. Originally released as a promotional single, it was serviced to contemporary hit radio in Italy on 19 February 2021. It is Sia's seventh song with Guetta to be released as an official single, following "Titanium", "She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)", "Bang My Head", "Helium", "Flames" and "Let's Love", and tenth collaboration overall.

## Composition

Written by Sia and frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin, "Floating Through Space" is a dance-pop song which features electric, upbeat synths. It has an uplifting atmosphere and inspiring, simple lyrics; "You made it through another day" is repeated throughout the track. The song bears more resemblance to Sia's style of pop music more than her previous collaborations with David Guetta.

## Music video
### Standard

A music video, directed by Lior Molcho, was released alongside the song on 4 February 2021. In the video, three skateboaders, each wearing one of Sia's signature black-and-white wigs, obscuring their eyes, show off their moves at a skatepark.
