Chandelier
When this song was first released, most people mistook it for a party song. All of the time, deep tunes are readily misunderstood. Sia opens up about her battle with addiction and alcoholism. After her lover was killed by a cab, she turned to booze and drugs to cope. She put her heart and soul into the song. That didn’t stop it from becoming one of pop’s most popular party songs.
A Little Bit Longer
Most people assumed that this song was about a breakup. It turns out, though, that it’s about Nick Jonas’ battle with type 1 diabetes. He claims that he penned the song in 20 minutes one day when his sugar was out of control. That’s when a few of the lyrics began to make sense. You might easily deduce the song’s deeper meaning and pick up on some of the details you missed the first time around.
