Songfacts®:

  • This relationship anthem, which starts with children's chants, is the opening track from Australian dance-pop singer-songwriter Sia's fourth studio album, We Are Born. She told CMU what inspired the album: "It's kind of like a compilation of all the up-tempo stuff I've done over the past six years. My label sort of pigeon-holed me as a down-tempo artist but, as this record shows, I can make poppier songs too! Generally, though, I'm inspired by what's going on around me; if I'm upset I'll write about that; if I've just watched Grey's Anatomy and something moves me in that then I'll write about that; if I speak to friends and they're having problems, then I'll write about that."
