Why did "Move your body" flop?

[Alexanderr 80]

Because people preferred the original version,

It's a good song too 

Maybe over saturation. At this point I swear she has wrote 50% of all the recent hits on the radio  any they all have that distinctive Sia structure and sound, and then the "artists" try to emulate her voice resulting in 100s of clones- leaving less room in the market for the real Sia 

Yeah, her writing is so distinguishable, I'm honestly sick of hearing everything she has made part of lol.

It's good but it's the type of song gayTRL obsesseses over and wonders why it flopped. It was so obviously gonna be a flop. It's very 2010. Even the dance hall remix couldn't change that much.

Songs don't flop for that reason. If there are two versions then the one people prefer the most will do well. If it was destined to be a hit the original just would have took off.

Because the gp thought that it's Cheap Pearls/The Greatest so they were tired of it and were like "isn't this song is like old and wtf Ed She Ran cover is much better"

i was so obsessed with the song when This Is Acting came out, and was hoping she'd make it a single

but theeeen the good sis decided to release a single mix that's worse than the original song, i got so mad 

Fcken same!!!!!

Probably cause it's ****ing awful? 

[Illuminati 15,409]

the chorus is too loud imo, both her voice and instrumentation. she had the same issue with Alive chorus being too loud. but the song is a bop

[Illuminati 15,409]

Unstoppable should have been a single though, she wasted it as a promo single.

It has that perfect Confident meets 1000 Forms Of Fear (ironic isn't it) sound.

Because sia can't get hits off her name alone. Cheap Thrills and Chandelier had to climb to the top. She doesn't have star power (yet) like the other pop girls do

The song gets pretty loud around the chorus. 

First time I've heard the song, but my lord is this true. It's catchy but the chorus sounds like the musical equivalent of a seizure.

Chorus is way too OTT. Had no idea this was Sia and when I heard the chorus, I literally had to change the radio station.

The song is a bit dated. It could have smashed 5 or 6 years ago but it's a bit too loud and OTT for today's taste. Shakira still should've taken it, though. It would have helped her internationally for sure. But the biggest problem is that Sia is in peak over-exposure. It seems like every second or third hit these days involved her in some form. She seems to soundtrack a lot of films as well. I think her sound is becoming a bit tired now and the public's interest is starting to wane. Even when it's not her singing, others sound like her. It's all becoming a bit too "I've heard this before."
