“Courage to Change” is already considered the best song on this album by the majority of fans, emphasizing the deep, meaningful and relevant lyrics.

“Every day is a holiday / Let the beat take you away / Let the beat take you today,” Sia sings over the dance-pop instrumentals in “1 Plus 1.” Previously heard on leaked movie scenes, trailers, and promotional content, ‘1 plus 1’ is a great track to listen to when passing time. Something the listener may notice throughout the progression of the track, Sia’s vocal range increases within each section, ending with an undeniable source of talent. “I won’t let you down / We’re together now / Music, I’ll be on retreat / Come now, you’ll be safe with me,” Sia writes over the choir-filled background. “Music,” also the title of the album and film, is a slow-tempo track with meaningful purpose and emotional connection to the film. “You need a little bit of love tonight / And baby I got it,” is seemingly simple lyrics that Sia writes over the 80s themed track. While it’s a good break from the amazingly-filled tracks before this one, it’s underwhelming in terms of enjoyment. 5 track “Eye to Eye” features a synth-obsessed instrumental background with under-achieved lyrics and vocal production. “So today baby remember you’re okay / We’re all floating through space,” Sia sings. With a reggaeton-pop style beat thanks to the production of David Guetta, the listener is pushed away from the mind-opening and progressive lyrics and is instead focused on the radio-worthy beat. Personally one of my favorite Sia songs, “Floating Through Space (with David Guetta)” throws the listener back to her 2016 era. “In your loving arms, I’ll be alright / Someone must have sent to here tonight / Someone must have sent you here to save my life” Sia belts of the simplified drum and piano-filled music. There was a purpose to keeping the song, and as a result, comparatively hints at the similarities of First Responders amongst the COVID-19 virus and the professionalism and compassion shown around her near-death experience. Previously released in mid-2020, “Saved My Life” features Sia’s lyrics, much like her previous-hit “ Chandelier,” about her nearly-fatal overdose in 2010. The lyrics, seemingly about falling in love and having a good time, are almost passed by the listener through the strange and encompassing beat, focusing the attention away from the unique audio recording. “Hey Boy” starts off strong with catchy guitar strums and stabs, yet quickly transitions to the pre-chorus featuring Sia’s higher-setted tone of vocal range. Paired with its one-shot music video, Maddie Ziegler’s seemingly imperfect dancing and Sia’s catchy songwriting are key to setting the mood of the rest of the album. The lyrics “Come now set the past on fire / Stand up, put your face to the sky my love / Together, we can take it higher” ring through the catchy chorus of the lead single. “Together” features an upbeat tempo with calls for unity. The first track of the album “Music” is a song that was released in early 2020.
