In the 61^st edition of Music Lifts (2023), we’re uplifted by David Guetta and Sia performing, “Titanium.”

Welcome to Music Lifts , a column that seeks to highlight songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs that exude fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 61^st edition of Music Lifts (2023), we highlight “Titanium” as performed by David Guetta and Sia.

“You shoot me down, but I won’t fall.” Why, won’t you fall, Sia? Three words: “I am titanium.” Now that’s a flex right there! Furthermore, the lyrics Sia sings are encouraging, inspiring, and uplifting. Grammy-winning French DJ/producer David Guetta and Sia collaborated on “Titanium”, a surefire bop from Guetta’s 2011 album, Nothing but the Beat.  This empowered, feel-good song was penned by Guetta and Sia alongside AFROJACK and Giorgio Tuinfort. Guetta produces alongside AFROJACK and Tuinfort, creating an energetic, picturesque backdrop.  As for Sia, she does her thing on this multiplatinum, no. 7 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

For Sia, the adversity is incredibly loud! Even so, “I’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet / You shoot me down, but I get up.” Now that some true fortitude! Similarly, in the second verse, she sings, “Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones / Talking loud, not saying much.” Despite everything, in the pre-chorus, she admits, “Nothing to lose /… Ricochet, you take your aim / Fire away, fire away.” Of course, the result is that Sia is ATOMIC NUMBER 22… TITANIUM, baby ! The lift of the lyrics, production, and Sia’s distinct, powerful vocals is legit on “Titanium”.
