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

Background



in 2012.|alt=

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', 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. 'Music' was released in February 2021, along with Sia's album 'Music Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture'.

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

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. Antonoff was nominated for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards for his work on the track.

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

Release and music video



The music video to the song was released on 20 May with the single. 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.

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