  ## Composition and reception
  
  "Original" was written by Sia, Sean Douglas and frequent collaborator Jesse Shatkin, who also produced the song.
  
  According to Wren Graves of Consequence of Sound, the song begins with "Sia singing the word, 'Boom,' the sound of an epiphany. The song is about a metaphorical wakening, the moment a person decides to be totally and wholly themselves". Vulture's Charu Sinha said "Original" is "the type of upbeat, anthemic pop that Sia does best".
