Billboard poppy song with a subtle island vibe."[ 5]

The Greatest was highly praised by music critics and its commemoration too. Jessica Goodman fromEntertainment Weekly [ 7] Orlando nightclub shooting , Spencer Kornhaber ofThe Atlantic
Making pop about a specific tragedy is necessarily a tricky job. So it's no crime that some of the other mainstream original songs memorializing Orlando have been as rote as issue-oriented singles are often stereotyped as being. ... But "The Greatest" is very potent, a work of art, not charity. ... There's no break here from the rest of Sia's catalog about pain and release in everyday life: You hear a sad voice wailing about bucking up, very stark emotional peaks and valleys, and a danceable backing of explosive drums, toy-box melodies, and reggae grooves. Sia and Greg Kurstin may have written the song even before the massacre. But in the context of Orlando, the possible platitude of the chorus becomes gutting: "I'm free to be the greatest / I'm alive." She's pepping the listener up, but she's also defining the value of life, marking the human potential that's been lost.[ 8]
The Orlando shooting commemoration was also praised by Bruno Russell fromThe Edge [ 9]
Upon the song's release, "The Greatest" debuted on several charts worldwide, including the USBillboard Hot 100UK Singles Chart at 49, andAustralian Singles Chart at number 25, and achieved top ten debuts inFrance ,[ 10] New Zealand ,[ 11] Scotland ,Finland ,Norway ,[ 12] Hungary ,Spain , andSweden .[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] [ 16] [ 17] [ 18] [ 19]
The music video was directed by Sia and Daniel Askill[ 20] Ryan Heffington . The director of photography was Mathieu Plainfosse. It was released on 5 September 2016 and has been viewed on YouTube more than 790 million times as of August 2023.[ 21]
Writers from several media outlets, includingE! Online Cosmopolitan Variety People Orlando nightclub shooting . The video opens with a low drone and cuts between shots of an upset Maddie Ziegler painting rainbow colours on her cheeks. She frees 48 other young spirits trapped in a cage (49 being the number of people killed in the shooting); their freedom is short-lived, however. Later, a wall is seen filled with bullet holes as everyone falls to the ground, and tears stream down Ziegler's face.[ 3] [ 20]
Absent of any social context, it's all striking and beautiful and ineffably sad. With the knowledge that it was inspired by queer youths and friends gunned down in the act of coming together and enjoying themselves, it becomes almost unbearably poignant. Sia keeps singing about having stamina; Kendrick Lamar's verse, omitted from the video, is all about surviving adversity and haters. What’s so potent about the video—and so specifically awful about this massacre—is that its subjects do seem to have struggled and triumphed to find the freedom to flip out together, and they are still cut down. It's bookended by Ziegler crying: As is appropriate, there's no take-home moral to make what happened seem okay.[ 8]
The music video was nominated forBest Video at theARIA Music Awards of 2017 .[ 22]
On 7 September 2016, Sia, Ziegler and several other dancers performed "The Greatest" live for the first time at the 2016Apple launch of theiPhone 7 at San Francisco'sBill Graham Civic Auditorium .[ 23] [ 24] iHeartRadio Music Festival on 23 September 2016. The song is included on Sia'sNostalgic for the Present Tour .[ 25]
