Sad-girl party anthem [“Chandelier,”](http://smarturl.it/SiaChandelier%20 "undefined") which premiered last month, is the first taste of her sixth studio album, _1000 Forms of Fear_, due this summer. TIME has a first look at the music video, set to arrive very soon. Though Sia’s signature blunt bob make an appearance here, that’s not actually her in the clip — it’s _Dance Moms_ star Maddie Ziegler taking a tumble. She’s also not swinging from a chandelier, either, but then again, the song is about drowning your problems with alcohol; it was never _really_ meant to be a YOLO manifesto about destroying fancy light fixtures. Watch it up top. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/83944/sia-chandelier-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/83944/sia-chandelier-video/"},"headline":"Sia Teases \"Chandelier\" Video: Premiere","datePublished":"2014-05-01T14:08:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:35:57.374Z","description":"The songwriter offers a sneak peek at her music video for \"Chandelier,\" the first single from the upcoming 1000 Forms of Fear","url":"https://time.com/83944/sia-chandelier-video/","keywords":["Music","Music Video","Sia"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/83944/sia-chandelier-video/","name":"Sia Teases \"Chandelier\" Video: Premiere"}}]}] ```
