The album is composed of songs written by Sia that were rejected by other artists, such as Adele and Rihanna.

Sia has announced an extended deluxe edition of her latest album, This Is Acting. Featuring seven new songs, the October 21st release date comes right in the middle of her first full-length North American tour in five years. Two of the seven new tracks aren’t technically new: The Kendrick Lamar-featuring “The Greatest” dropped earlier this month, and the version of “Cheap Thrills” with Sean Paul has been on the radio almost as long as the album’s been out. Another two of the remaining five are actually different takes on previously released songs, including a Alan Walker remix of “Move Your Body” and a take on “The Greatest” sans K.Dot. That leaves “Confetti”, “Midnight Decisions”, and “Jesus Wept” as the truly freshest material on the 19-song tracklist.

Even when she's crafting hits for other people, there's a vulnerability in Sia's songwriting that rings true. On This Is Acting, she sings some of the songs she wrote for — and were rejected by — stars such as Adele, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Though they were intended for other singers, Sia sounds as commanding and genuine as ever. "Alive," which she co-wrote with Adele, has an empowering sweep that Sia takes in a direction that is all hers, while "Bird Set Free" is both intimate and anthemic, a territory of which she is the queen.
