Cheap Thrills, by Sia (featuring Sean Paul)
Cheap Thrills, by Sia has been on our rotation lately. It’s fun and groovy! It’s a track from her new album, This is acting. Originally released back in February of 2016 we’re not sure how we’re just catching on to it now!
Did you know? This song was originally written for Rihanna for use on her album Anti. However, it wasn’t quite what Rihanna was looking for so she declined. So Sia decided to keep it as her own to use on her own album.
