In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to Go! Beat and released her third studio album, Colour the Small One, in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida).
In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album This Is Acting, which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you need some help tonight
I know that others see you smiling
But I see sadness in your eyes
Let's leave tomorrow as a mystery
Let's leave the past where it belongs
Let's let the sorrow out and give it wings
Let's watch it fly, let's give it love
I know you wanna let it out, just get it out and start flying
But baby, if you push it down, you push it down, it's like lying
So babe, you gotta feel it on, just let it go and start crying
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you, go
You need a little bit of love tonight and baby, I got it
You need a little bit of hope and I, baby, I got ya
You need a little bit of eye to eye, and baby, I'm right here
We need a little bit of love tonight, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love to-
Fill up the emptiness inside of you
The angels come to those who seek
There's nothing out for you to do here
The only action is to be
I know you wanna let it out, just get it out and start flying
But baby, if you push it down, you push it down, it's like lying
So babe, you gotta feel it on, just let it go and start crying
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you, go
You need a little bit of love tonight and baby, I got it
You need a little bit of hope and I, baby, I got ya
You need a little bit of eye to eye
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you go
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love tonight
A little bit of eye to eye, a little bit of love to-
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you
Yes baby, I'll hold you close (you need a little bit of love tonight)
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you
Yes baby, I'll hold you close (you need a little bit of love tonight)
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you
Yes baby. I'll hold you close (you need a little bit of love tonight)
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you
Yes baby, I'll hold you close (you need a little bit of love tonight)
Need a little bit of love tonight, need a little bit of love tonight
Need a little bit of love tonight, need a little bit of love tonight
Need a little bit of love tonight, need a little bit of love tonight
Need a little bit of love tonight

I see you dancin' right in front of me, yeah
I observe you dancing directly in my presence
I see you need some help tonight
I recognize that you require assistance this evening
I know that others see you smiling
I am aware that others perceive you as happy
But I see sadness in your eyes
However, I perceive a feeling of sorrow in your eyes
Let's leave tomorrow as a mystery
Let us embrace the uncertainty of tomorrow
Let's leave the past where it belongs
Let us leave the past in its rightful place
Let's let the sorrow out and give it wings
Let us release our sorrow and allow it to soar
Let's watch it fly, let's give it love
Let us witness its flight while offering it love
I know you wanna let it out, just get it out and start flying
I understand your desire to express your emotions, so release them and soar freely
But baby, if you push it down, you push it down, it's like lying
However, my dear, suppressing your emotions is akin to deception
So babe, you gotta feel it on, just let it go and start crying
Therefore, my love, you must allow yourself to experience and release your emotions through tears
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you, go
And my love, I will embrace and support you as you do so, go ahead
You need a little bit of love tonight and baby, I got it
You require a small amount of love tonight, and my dear, I possess it

You need a glimmer of hope, and my love, I am here for you
You need a little bit of eye to eye, and baby, I'm right here
You require a connection on a deep level, and my dear, I am present
We need a little bit of love tonight, a little bit of love tonight
Both of us require a small amount of love tonight, just a little
Fill up the emptiness inside of you
Address the void within you and allow it to be filled
The angels come to those who seek
Divine guidance is bestowed upon those who actively search for it
There's nothing out for you to do here
There is no specific action you need to take in this moment
The only action is to be
The sole requirement is to exist and be present
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you, go
And my love, I will embrace and support you as you do so, go ahead
And baby, I'll hold you, yes baby, I'll hold you
And my love, I will embrace and support you, always
And baby, I'll hold you close (you need a little bit of love tonight)
And my love, I will hold you tightly (because you require affection tonight)
Need a little bit of love tonight, need a little bit of love tonight
We both require a small amount of love tonight, just a little
