"Floating Through Space" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Sia and French DJ David Guetta. It was released on 4 February 2021 by Monkey Puzzle and Atlantic Records as the first promotional single from Sia's ninth studio album Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture, and was later released as a single.
Background and release
Sia announced the release of "Floating Through Space" on 3 February 2021, the day before it was released.[1] Originally released as a promotional single, it was serviced to contemporary hit radio in Italy on 19 February 2021.[2] It is Sia's seventh song with Guetta to be released as an official single, following "Titanium", "She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)", "Bang My Head", "Helium", "Flames" and "Let's Love", and tenth collaboration overall.[3]
Composition
Written by Sia and frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin, "Floating Through Space" is a dance-pop song[3] which features electric, upbeat synths.[4] It has an uplifting atmosphere and inspiring, simple lyrics; "You made it through another day" is repeated throughout the track.[4] The song bears more resemblance to Sia's style of pop music more than her previous collaborations with David Guetta.[3][5]
Music video
Standard
A music video, directed by Lior Molcho, was released alongside the song on 4 February 2021.[6] In the video, three skateboaders, each wearing one of Sia's signature black-and-white wigs, obscuring their eyes, show off their moves at a skatepark.[7]

Collaboration with NASA
In April 2021, Sia collaborated with NASA for a music video of the track celebrating the first flight of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter.[8][9] The video features footage of NASA researchers and engineers working and testing the helicopter, as well as the Perseverance mission,[10] and includes facts explaining what is happening.[8]
