And considering that Sia went from being a respected songwriter to a household name on the back of her first video starring Ms. Ziegler, maybe it’s a good idea not to fix what isn’t broken. This is the fourth collaboration between the pair following “Chandelier”, “Elastic Heart” and “Big Girls Cry”.

Sia’s new music video for “Cheap Thrills” dropped on Monday, featuring former Dance Moms starlet, Maddie Ziegler. This time, Ziegler is backed by two other dances, and the trio seems to blend as one throughout the vid.
“Cheap Thrills” is off of Sia’s latest album This Is Acting, which is now available for purchase on iTunes! The singer told Rolling Stone a year ago Cheap Thrills was originally intended for Rihanna.

“I realized just as soon as I was cutting it that it sounded a little bit too Brit-pop for her”, Sia explained. “It’s more Icona Pop. We did actually send it to her, but they passed on it, and then I just couldn’t stop listening to it in the auto”. The song, after all, is about dancing it out – and that Ziegler certainly does.
