Data Insight

This album is the soundtrack to Music, the feature film Sia directed and co-wrote, and its songs were created to accompany that project rather than stand as a conventional studio record. Sia wrote the material and shares production across a wide roster that includes Jack Antonoff, Jesse Shatkin, Greg Kurstin, David Guetta, and Labrinth. Because the songs were built around the film's narrative, the writing stays anchored to Sia even as the production credits fan out to many collaborators.

Sia's ninth studio album, released February 12, 2021 on Monkey Puzzle Records and Atlantic Records as a companion to her directorial debut film Music. The album features co-writing from Dua Lipa ('Saved My Life'), Pink ('Courage to Change'), Jack Antonoff, and Labrinth, and includes a duet with Burna Boy on the closing track. The album and film both attracted significant controversy related to their portrayal of autism, which has been widely criticised by autistic advocacy communities.

Frequently Asked Questions Music - Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture

What is the album Music - Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture?
It is the 2021 soundtrack to Music, the feature film that Sia directed and co-wrote. The album collects original songs created for and inspired by that film. It was Sia's first project tied directly to a movie she helmed herself.
Did Sia direct the film this soundtrack accompanies?
Yes. Sia directed the film Music, and this album serves as its companion soundtrack. The songs were written to support the story she told on screen.
Who produced the songs on the Music soundtrack?
Production was handled by a large group including Jack Antonoff, Jesse Shatkin, Greg Kurstin, David Guetta, Labrinth, and Sia herself. Sia wrote the songs while the production duties were spread across these collaborators. This gave the album a varied sonic palette across its tracks.
What singles were released from the Music soundtrack?
The singles included 'Together,' 'Courage to Change,' 'Hey Boy,' and 'Floating Through Space.' These were released across 2020 and early 2021 ahead of the album and film. They served as the main promotional songs for the project.
Did the Music soundtrack win any awards?
The album was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack, Cast or Show Album at the 2021 ARIA Music Awards. It did not win in that category. The wider Music film project drew significant attention during the same period.
What genres does the Music soundtrack cover?
The album spans pop, electropop, R&B, and EDM. The stylistic range reflects the many producers involved and the film's varied musical needs. Sia's pop songwriting remains the through-line across the tracks.
Is the Music soundtrack certified anywhere?
Yes, it earned a Gold certification in France. That reflects its sales performance in that market. No broader worldwide certification total is documented.
