Sia one of my favorite artist in the world, is known for her envelope-pushing music videos with powerful messages. And her latest project is no different.
In a moving video for "The Greatest," released on Monday, the 40-year-old singer once again teamed up with
Dance Moms (and PEOPLE Ones to watch) alum Maddie Ziegler, who has starred in the Aussie pop star's clips for "Chandelier," "Elastic Heart," "Big Girls Cry" and most recently "Cheap Thrills." But this time, Ziegler wasn't alone.
The chilling video for the Kendrick Lamar-assisted track finds Ziegler
roaming the halls of a run-down building, tears streaming down her
rainbow-painted cheeks before leading a group of 48 other children in a
dance routine.
"I'm
free to be the greatest, I'm alive / I'm free to be the greatest here
tonight / The greatest, the greatest / The greatest alive, the greatest,
the greatest alive," Sia sings.
