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.

My sweet, I swear you got this beat
And my love, I know that it has been tough
My love, I know you've had it rough
Tell me your secrets tonight
I'll take 'em with me, and I'll get the elves workin' on them

That second verse at 1:10 is steeped in emotion and gives beautiful depth to this perfectly crafted pop song. What a gift.

Aryan Kashyap
I love how all of Sia’s songs are not just about celebrating Christmas but also about loving yourself , loving others and being loved !
Meccarox
Yes that's why these are the only christmas songs I really like.
Hannah G
Do the lyrics to this song make anyone else emotional? It just makes me think of the comfort music and the holidays can bring to people when life gets really hard
J. Spallin
Absolutely, for me it's that she seems to make it okay to not feel okay, and maybe even embrace it? If that makes sense. Even in darkness, well, you wouldn't know it was dark so long as you know that light exists.
Tippy Canoe
I think this is a very underrated Christmas song! Why it isn't played more on mainstream radio or done on one of the many Christmas Specials, I haven't a clue.
Donny
Sia's album makes me feel SO happy .. such an amazing feeling .. ❤❤❤
