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.
I'm Not Important to You
Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took me, you took me for granted
But I landed back on my feet, back on
My feet
Cause you don't deserve me, deserve me
You don't have the time that I need
That I want, I deserve
But I got back my nerve
I'm using my head not my heart
And I'm starting new
I'm going to get over you, over you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
You happy is all I wanted to see, is all
I wanted to see, to see
And so now that's what
I'm going to be, what I'm going to be
I'll waste some time on me
I gave you my all and you took it
I saw and you gave nothing back
Your mind on another track,
Another track, another track yeah
There are plenty of people out there
Who would care about me
You'll see
You'll see
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
In this song, Sia is addressing someone who took her for granted in a romantic relationship. She explains how she landed back on her feet after the breakup and why the other person does not deserve her. Sia sings that she's focused on herself and doing what's right for her, using her head over her heart. She is starting anew and moving on from the past relationship. Sia then concludes that she is not important to the person she once loved and that she now understands that there are other people who will care for her.
The song is a breakup anthem about coming to terms with the end of a relationship and realizing self-worth. Sia's powerful vocals capture the emotions that come with heartbreak, bitterness, and self-love. The repetitive nature of the lyrics helps to drive the message home and remind the listener that they are not alone.

You took me for granted
You didn't value me
You took me, you took me for granted
You repeatedly took me for granted
But I landed back on my feet, back on
My feet
I was able to recover and stand up for myself
Cause you don't deserve me, deserve me
You are not worthy of me
You don't have the time that I need
That I want, I deserve
You don't prioritize me the way I deserve to be prioritized
But I got back my nerve
Did what was right for me
I regained my confidence and chose what was best for myself
I'm using my head not my heart
And I'm starting new
I am making a logical decision to move on and start fresh
I'm going to get over you, over you
I am determined to move on and let go of my feelings for you
You happy is all I wanted to see, is all
I wanted to see, to see
My only desire was to make you happy
And so now that's what
I'm going to be, what I'm going to be
From now on, I will prioritize my own happiness
I'll waste some time on me
I will take the time to focus on myself
I gave you my all and you took it
I saw and you gave nothing back
I invested a lot in our relationship and received nothing in return
Your mind on another track,
Another track, another track yeah
You were not fully present in our relationship
There are plenty of people out there
Who would care about me
You'll see
You'll see
I know I will find someone who values me and you will see that I deserve better
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I'm not important to you
I know I am not a priority to you

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
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
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
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
Yeah, 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
Unstoppable today, unstoppable today
Unstoppable today, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
