** Initially with [[Music/DavidGuetta "Titanium"]]. Sia was absolutely furious because she had written the song for another singer (such as Music/AliciaKeys, Music/KatyPerry or Music/MaryJBlige) but David Guetta released Sia's demo without her permission. After spending a decade as an indie songwriter, Sia was livid that she was now attracting attention from a cheesy EDM track - right after taking a break from music due to health issues. However, Sia said in 2015 that her relationship with the song had changed due to the money she made off of it (for context, just one year before "Titanium", Sia admitted that she barely had made money from her career) and the positive impact it has had on suffering children who feel strong when they listen to it.

* CareerResurrection: Actually, many times. Her 2001 album ''Healing Is Difficult'' was unsuccessful, but her recent collaboration with Zero 7, "Destiny", was a hit in the UK where she was living at the time, and her time in the band inspired her music direction that she became known for in the 2000s. When her next album ''Colour the Small One'' flopped (in her own words), its lead single "Breathe Me" later gained attention for being featured in the series finale of the television series ''Series/SixFeetUnder''. And finally, after her 2011 retirement from performing, she attempted to focus on a career on songwriting only for songs like "Titanium" and "Chandelier" made her a mainstream pop star.

* ChartDisplacement: Sia downplays this: Her only #1 hit in the U.S. was 2016's "Cheap Thrills", one of her best-known songs. Despite this, it hasn't quite eclipsed songs like "Chandelier" (#8) and the Music/DavidGuetta collaboration "Titanium" (#7) in the public consciousness as their chart peaks may suggest.
