This video is one of a trilogy of Sia's music videos featuring dancer Maddie Ziegler. I like these videos because Maddie is supposed to represent a younger Sia, and she uses choreography and movement to express her struggles. While these songs and these lyrics sound like a fun, modern pop song on the surface, the videos are really used to express Sia's inner demons, and overcoming struggles such as addiction and alcoholism. This video in particular was highly controversial because of the relationship between an older man (Shia LaBeouf) and a child. I personally do not quite understand the motive behind putting Shia LaBeouf in the video, and while it's entertaining, I'm not sure that this was the most effective way to express her feelings. There has been lots of ludicrous drama surrounding Shia lately, I think putting him in the video lessened the seriousness and credibility of her message.
