"Original" on YouTube

"Original" is a song performed by Sia for the original motion picture soundtrack of the 2020 film Dolittle. The song was released for digital download and streaming on January 10, 2020.[3] A lyric video was made available on YouTube on 17 January 2020. "Original" marks Sia's first solo release since "Out There", her collaboration with Hans Zimmer for Seven Worlds, One Planet.[4][5]

## Composition and reception

[edit]

"Original" was written by Sia, Sean Douglas and frequent collaborator Jesse Shatkin, who also produced the song.[6]

According to Wren Graves of Consequence of Sound, the song begins with "Sia singing the word, 'Boom,' the sound of an epiphany. The song is about a metaphorical wakening, the moment a person decides to be totally and wholly themselves".[7] Vulture's Charu Sinha said "Original" is "the type of upbeat, anthemic pop that Sia does best".[1]
