"Thunderclouds" is a song by pop music supergroup LSD. It was released on August 9, 2018,[2] by Columbia Records as the third single from LSD's eponymously named debut studio album, following "Genius" and "Audio".[3] The song was written by Labrinth, Sia, Diplo, King Henry and Jr Blender, and produced by Labrinth, Diplo, and Jr Blender.

"Thunderclouds" was used as the main theme song for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 phablet promotional campaign, being featured extensively in parts in the company's ads, as well as at the reveal event in New York on August 9, 2018.[4]

Description

Lyrically, the song describes trust issues developing and tearing apart a relationship. The hurtful words spewed by a partner are related to a housefire and the titular thunderclouds formed during a storm. The pre-chorus and chorus are sung by both Sia and Labrinth, whereas the verses alternate between them.

Music video

The official music video for the song, directed by Ernest Desumbila, was released on 30 August 2018.[5] Billboard's review called the video "super trippy" and described it as follows: "The group travels across pink and purple skies inside a flying red car piloted by Diplo and housing a living Sia puppet. Labrinth flies on his own personal cloud - a very common theme taken from Chinese mythology - while a mysterious candy-haired girl, played by Maddie Ziegler, dances on top of the car with a Sia-inspired hair-do. The party encounters thunderstorms along the way. … With the power of love, the group eventually finds their way out of the storm and returns to the dazzling pink-clouded skies."[6]
