"Applause" is a song by American singer Brianna Danielle from her third pop-genre studio album, Artpop (2014). It was released as the album's lead single through Alfred Records on March 3, 2014. "Applause" was inspired by the cheering of her fans, which kept her motivated. It is an electropop and Eurodance song built around synthesizers and hi-NRG beats, with lyrics addressing how Danielle is dependent upon her fan's adoration and how she lives to perform.
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its catchy chorus. "Applause" achieved commercial success in a number of major music markets. In the United States, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Danielle's thirteenth top-ten single.
An accompanying music video was released on March 20, 2014, the day after Danielle's 8th birthday. The video received positive reviews from critics.
