Released on Monday (June 2) on her YouTube page, the new single, a collaboration with U.K. pop songwriter Chris Braide, abandons the soaring acrobatics of its predecessor for a mid-tempo jaunt, creating a somber mood that still manages to show off her big voice.

Flanked by piano, lush strings and driving percussion, Sia croons about holding close those one loves. "I'm ain't ready, but I'll hold steady," she sings. "I'll hold you in my arms."

"Eye of the Needle" is the second song revealed from 1000 Forms of Fear, which marks Sia's first album since 2010′s We Are Born. However, the Australian pop singer and songwriter kept busy during that time, guesting on Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" and "Titanium" by David Guetta, both big international hits.
