Big-wigged singer Sia has partnered with none other than Adele for the lead single of her seventh album This Is Acting. She originally wrote the tune for Adele’s long-promised new album, only for it to be rejected at the last minute. “It’s about [Adele’s] life, so I now sing a song from [Adele’s] perspective,” Sia says.
The song is perfect for her upcoming album, though: “I’m calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn’t go into it thinking, ‘This is something I would say. It’s more like play-acting. It’s fun.”
The lyrics: “I was born in a thunderstorm / I grew up overnight / I played alone / I played on my own / I survived / Hey / I wanted everything I never had / Like the love that comes with life / I wore envy and I hated it / But I survived / I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go / Where the wind don’t change / And nothing in the ground can ever grow / No hope, just lies / And you’re taught to cry in your pillow / But I survived…”
