Background
Song co-writer and producer Jack Antonoff in 2012.

The song was first mentioned by Sia in a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone, where it was described as a "cheerful song that matches [Sia's] personality much more than, say, 'Chandelier'." It is likely to be the ending of the musical 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.[4] Music is set for a release in September 2020.[2]

On May 11, 2020, "Together" was made available for pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music through wecantakeithigher.com.[5] Sia announced the release of the single through her social media accounts on May 13.[6][7]

The song was written by Sia and American record producer Jack Antonoff and produced by Antonoff, with additional production by Sia's frequent collaborator, Jesse Shatkin.[8]

Release and music video

The music video to the song was released on May 20, alongside the single.[9] The video stars Music's three principal cast members, Maddie Ziegler, Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom Jr, along with a troupe of dancing children, wearing outfits themed after clouds and rainbows. The one-take visual sees Ziegler leading a high-energy dance around a technicolor room, dressed as a praying emoji and Hudson as a peace hand emoji.[9][10]

"Together" was released to adult contemporary radio in the US on June 29, 2020.[11]
