Song Details:
“Elastic Heart” is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Sia. It was released as a single in January 2015 and was included in the soundtrack for the movie “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.” The song was written by Sia along with Greg Kurstin and was produced by Diplo and Kurstin.
The lyrics of “Elastic Heart” explore themes of emotional resilience and strength in the face of adversity. Sia sings about the struggle to maintain emotional boundaries and not be broken down by the challenges of life. The title “Elastic Heart” refers to the idea of being able to bounce back and not be defeated by the trials and tribulations of life.
The song’s instrumentation features an eclectic mix of acoustic and electronic elements, with a prominent use of percussion and synths. The track also features the haunting and unique vocals of The Weeknd collaborator, Canadian musician and performance artist, Jai Paul.
The music video for “Elastic Heart” was directed by Daniel Askill and featured dancers Maddie Ziegler and Shia LaBeouf. The video depicts a dance battle between a man (played by LaBeouf) and a young girl (played by Ziegler) inside a cage. The video sparked some controversy due to the suggestive nature of the dance and the age difference between the two performers.
Despite the controversy, “Elastic Heart” was a commercial and critical success, reaching the top 10 on the charts in several countries, including the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The song’s combination of emotional lyrics, unique instrumentation, and captivating music video helped to establish Sia as a prominent figure in the pop music world.
