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.

Fun fact: Sia wrote several songs for other artists, but the artists rejected some songs. So, she decided to make this album and released the songs as hers.

@lalla1239
I'm so Happy to hear her Amazing voice.
@kairos-049
Everybody keeps saying that other artists shouldn't have rejected these songs. True, Sia's one of the most talented songwriters in the world, but for many songs in This Is Acting, I feel like other voices simply wouldn't do the lyrics justice.
@demibellini6915
Grant D for sure. Sia makes everything sound better
@malik7951
You're right. This was suppose to be for Shakria but Shakira rejected this song... and so did other artists. Sia had not choice but to record it herself and put it in this album
@lisacapassen3895
