“Big Girls Cry” is a single by Australian singer-songwriter Sia from her sixth studio album, 1000 Forms of Fear. Though the single was not released worldwide, it was released in Australia and some parts of Europe.
The music video was directed by Sia and David Askill, with choreography done by Ryan Heffington. The video features “Dance Moms” alumni Maddie Ziegler in her signature flesh-covered leotard and Sia-inspired blonde bob cut wig, making multiple facial expressions to tell the story of the song. This is the third music video of Sia’s that Ziegler was featured in, the previous two being “Elastic Heart” and “Chandelier.” The second set of hands seen when Ziegler is “choked” belong to Sia.
Lyrics of Big Girls Cry
Tough girl in the fast lane
No time for love, no time for hate
No drama, no time for games
Tough girl whose soul aches
I come home, on my own
Check my phone, nothing, though
Act busy, order in
Pay TV, it's agony (oh)
I may cry ruinin' my makeup
Wash away all the things you've taken
And I don't care if I don't look pretty
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
Big girls cry when their heart is breaking
Tough girl, I'm in pain
It's lonely at the top, blackouts and airplanes
And I still pour you a glass of champagne
Tough girl whose soul aches
I come home, on my own
Check my phone, nothing, though
Act busy, order in
Pay TV, it's agony (oh)
I may cry ruinin' my makeup
Wash away all the things you've taken
And I don't care if I don't look pretty
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
I wake up, I wake up, I wake up, I wake up, I wake up
I wake up, I wake up, I wake up, I wake up
I wake up, I wake up, I wake up, I wake up
Alone
I may cry ruinin' my makeup
Wash away all the things you've taken
And I don't care if I don't look pretty
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking
Big girls cry when their heart is breaking
