David Guetta:
“Flames” was our seventh collaboration and the song became our third Top 10 together in May of 2018. I was thrilled that Sia agreed to reunite with me on "Flames,” considering how much of a superstar she’s become.
–via Billboard (2020)
The answer is “Titanium”, with “She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)” as the runner-up, and “Bang My Head” as the third contender. “Titanium” successfully reached single digit peak positions in ten Euro-Commonwealth-US charts. This hit single peaked at number 1 and stayed on the UK Singles Chart for 87 weeks. In the US, Sia’s tune reached its peak position of number 4 and secured its position within the Billboard Hot 100 for 72 weeks.
Sia wrote “Titanium” and approached other female artists like Katy Perry and Alicia Keys to sing it, but as it turned out, David Guetta used Sia’s demo vocal without her permission, and brought mainstream attention to Sia with the release of this global hit track, currently with 783 million views on YouTube. In an interview with Sam Sanders of NPR in July 2014, Sia revealed this incident along with her frustration with fame,
“And I never even knew it was gonna happen, and I was really upset. Because I had just retired, I was trying to be a pop songwriter, not an artist.”
