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.
Hurting Me Now
Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't like what I wear
I'm trying, trying, you see I'm trying
While you try to change me all the time
You, you say I talk too much
I know it drives you nuts
You tell me you wish I was better, better yeah
You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
You, you say I sing too loud
I want you to be proud
I want you screaming out "that girl is mine"
"I love her, love her," but you've already tuned me out
You, you know these words you say are causing us decay
You feel I am withdrawing, I am running away
You're pushing, you're pushing me
You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
Don't want you to blow it, you're hurting me
I know you don't know it
Don't want you to blow it, you're hurting me
I know you don't know it
Don't want you to blow it, you're hurting me
I know you don't know it
Don't want you to blow it, you're hurting me
I know you don't know it
You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
In Sia’s song Hurting Me Now, the singer deals with a partner who is constantly nitpicking and criticizing her, leading her to feel small and helpless. The lyrics reveal that the partner seems not to recognize just how much their words and actions are hurting her. The constant criticism causes her to doubt herself, leading her to try to change for their sake. She even wishes that the partner would scream out to the world how great she is, but she is ultimately met with indifference.
Despite the partner’s hurtful actions, they seemingly find it amusing and do not realize that their words are having a significant impact on the singer. She pleads with the partner not to blow what they have because of their careless behavior, begging them to become aware of how their words and actions are affecting her.
The overall message in the song is about the importance of treating one's partner with respect and kindness rather than tearing them down with constant criticism. The singer makes it clear that the partner’s actions are leading to the demise of their relationship, and that change is necessary if they are to make it work.

All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the nighttime
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Keep my sunglasses on while I shed a tear
It's never the right time, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
I'm invincible
And, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Break down, only alone I will cry out loud
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down, yeah, yeah
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now, yeah, yeah
I put my armor on, show you how strong I am
I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
