"Together" is a song by the Australian singer-songwriter Sia from the motion picture soundtrack of the musical film Music, co-written and directed by herself.

The song was first mentioned by Sia in a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone, where it was described as a "cheerful song that matches her personality much more than, say, "Chandelier"." It is the end title of the film Music,[3] which was written and directed by Sia herself. Although Music was not a musical originally, Sia told Rolling Stone that she would be given "roughly $10 million more" to make it a musical film.[4] Music was released in February 2021,[5] along with Sia's album Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture.[6]

On 11 May 2020, "Together" was made available for pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music through the website wecantakeithigher.[7] Sia announced the release of the single through her social media accounts on 13 May.[8]

The song was written by Sia and American record producer Jack Antonoff. It was produced by Antonoff, with additional production by Sia's frequent collaborator, Jesse Shatkin.[9] Antonoff was nominated for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards for his work on the track.[10]

"Together" was featured in an advert for American retail chain Target.[11]

Release and music video

The music video to the song was released on 20 May with the single.[12] The video stars Music's three principal cast members, Maddie Ziegler, Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom Jr, with a troupe of dancing children, wearing outfits themed after clouds and rainbows. A one-take visual, it sees Ziegler leading a high-energy dance around a technicolour room, dressed as a "praying" emoji, and Hudson as a "peace hand" emoji.[12][13]

"Together" was released to adult contemporary radio in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2020[14] and in the United States on 29 June.[15]

The F9 radio and club remixes were released for download and streaming on 10 July 2020,[16] followed by the Initial Talk remix on 24 July.[17] An "80s bootleg music video" for the Initial Talk remix was released on 30 July 2020. It has clips from Sia's previous music videos.[18]

Commercial performance

"Together" saw fair commercial success in Australia, Sia's home country. It peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Singles Chart there,[19] and reached number 1 on The Music Network's Hot 100, which tracks weekly radio spins of singles in Australia,[20] becoming Sia's first solo number 1 on the chart.[21]

In the UK, "Together" debuted and peaked at number 96 on the UK Singles Chart dated 4 June 2020.[22] Following substantial hot adult contemporary airplay in the US, "Together" peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart.[23]
