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.

The song "House on Fire" by Sia is a powerful and passionate declaration of love. The repeated phrase "I wanna keep burning" aptly describes the intensity and drive of the singer's emotions. The singer begins by stating her impatience - she doesn't want to wait too long for her lover to show their love. She then asserts that she feels pain, and although pain might not be enjoyable, it indicates the depth of love's feelings she shares with her lover. She repeats the urgent need for her lover, like oxygen, emphasizing how necessary their love is for her to keep burning.
The singer then likens herself to a "house on fire," emphasizing the intensity of her love and desire for her lover to keep fueling it. The repetition of this phrase, along with the desire to keep burning, showcases an almost fiery passion that drives the singer's every action. She wants to go up in flames, and the beloved is responsible for stoking those flames. With the repetition of "love me, to the beat of a drum," the singer is calling on the lover to do everything in the name of love - to break down their walls, to dance to the beat of only love, and to love her endlessly. In the end, the song reaches its climax, with the singer's heart screaming for the lover to hurry and love her, because without them, her fiery passion for life and love would be extinguished.
