โYou shoot me down, but I wonโt fall.โ Why, wonโt you fall, ๐ Sia? Three words: โI am titanium.โ Now thatโs a flex ๐ช right there! Furthermore, the lyrics Sia sings are encouraging, inspiring, and uplifting. ๐ Grammy-winning French DJ/producer ๐ David Guetta and Sia collaborated on ๐ต โTitaniumโ, a surefire bop from Guettaโs 2011 album, ๐ฟ Nothing but the Beat. ย This empowered, feel-good song was penned by Guetta and Sia alongside ๐ผ โ AFROJACK and Giorgio Tuinfort. Guetta produces alongside AFROJACK and Tuinfort, creating an energetic, picturesque backdrop.ย 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, โIโm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet / You shoot me down, but I get up.โ Now that some true fortitude! Similarly, in the second verse, she sings, โRaise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones / Talking loud, not saying much.โ Despite everything, in the pre-chorus, she admits, โNothing to lose /โฆ Ricochet, you take your aim / Fire away, fire away.โ Of course, the result is that Sia is ATOMIC NUMBER 22โฆ TITANIUM, baby ๐ช! The lift ๐๏ธ of the lyrics, production, and Siaโs distinct, powerful vocals is legit on ๐ต โTitaniumโ.
