Arguably the greatest pop songwriter Sia, greatest rapper Kendrick Lamar and greatest tiny dancer Maggie Ziegler have united for a song appropriately titled ‘The Greatest’.
You can stream the song below, which is pretty upbeat and features a Major Lazer-esque distorted synth voice melody, along with the music video, which doesn’t feature Kendrick’s verse but sees Sia’s oft-collaborator Maddie Ziegler doing more surrealist dancing in bleak buildings.
Kendrick has been firing out guest verses lately, recently adding memorable ones to DJ Khaled’s ‘Holy Key’ and Travis Scott’s ‘Goosebumps’. You can read the lyrics in full for this one after the video.
‘Hey, I am the truth
Hey, I am the wisdom of the fallen; I'm the youth
Hey, I am the greatest; hey, this is the proof
Hey, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, hey
I transform with pressure; I'm hands-on with effort
I fell twice before; my bounce back was special
Letdowns will get you, and the critics will test you
But the strong will survive; another scar may bless you, ah’
