"Snowman " is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Sia . It was released on 9 November 2017, as the second single from Sia's eighth studio album , Everyday Is Christmas .[1] A music video made via claymation was released on 30 October 2020. A part two of the music video was released on 22 December 2022.
"Snowman" earned positive reviews from critics, some of whom deemed it the highlight single from Everyday Is Christmas . The song experienced a popularity surge in November 2020 on TikTok ,[2] and has since been branded as a modern-day Christmas classic .[3]
Composition [ edit ]
The song's co-writer Greg Kurstin in 2017
"Snowman" was written by Sia and frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin . Written in the key of D ♭ major , Sia's vocals span from F3 to G♭5. [4] Production on the track was handled solely by Kurstin.[5] The song is a midtempo , 60's -inspired,[6] piano-driven, crisp, swaying ballad [7] over which Sia's vocals, described as "calm but energetic" by mxdwn , tell a snowman not to cry as he will melt.[8] [9] The track runs for a length of 2 minutes and 45 seconds.[10]
Release and promotion [ edit ]
"Snowman" was announced on Sia's social media accounts on 7 November 2017, and was released for digital download and streaming on 9 November 2017 as the second single from Everyday Is Christmas .[1] [11] [12] Sia performed "Snowman" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show ,[13] and on the finale of the fifteenth season of American reality TV series The Voice .[14]
In December 2020, a challenge based around the song on video-sharing app TikTok saw a massive rise in popularity, becoming a trend. The challenge sees TikTok users attempt to sing a portion of the song, lasting forty seconds, in one breath.[2] Sia subsequently released a "Snowed In & Slowed Down Remix" of the track, which was later featured on the Snowman Deluxe Edition of Everyday is Christmas on 5 November 2021.[15] In addition to this, a sped-up version was included on the 2022 reissue of the album.[16]
Reception [ edit ]
Slant Magazine described the song as a "clever ode to fleeting romance".[17] Slate named it the best song on Everyday Is Christmas , noting it "[takes] something we associate with winter and [applies] it to a universal theme."[18] NME commented that the TikTok remix version of the song "opts for a breezier tempo than the original, with Sia changing the song’s key midway through for extra effect."[15]
The song has also been included in lists of the best Christmas songs of all-time published by The Athletic ,[19] Esquire ,[20] Cosmopolitan ,[21] and was described by Billboard in 2022 as a "modern seasonal classic".[3]
Commercial performance [ edit ]
Upon its initial release in 2017, "Snowman" debuted and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Holiday Digital Songs Sales chart dated 2 December 2017.[22] Since its rise in popularity in 2020, the track has reached the top 10 various markets, including Germany,[23] Switzerland,[24] the Netherlands,[25] and Sweden.[26] It also reached the top 20 in Australia[27] and Canada,[28] among others, and peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Global 200 in 2023.[29] In 2021, it reached number 1 on the Finnish Singles Chart ,[30] becoming Sia's first chart-topping hit in the country.[31] In the same year, it topped the Norwegian Singles Chart for two weeks and returned to number 1 in 2022 and 2023.[32]
As of December 2022, "Snowman" was one of the 10 most-streamed Christmas songs of all-time on streaming platform Spotify .[33]
