Elastic Heart


"Elastic Heart" is a song by Australian artist Sia, co-written with The Weeknd and producer Diplo, originally created for the soundtrack of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire before appearing on Sia's album 1000 Forms of Fear. Released in 2013, the track blends minimalist pop production with powerful vocal dynamics, giving electric guitar players an opportunity to explore sparse, melodic arrangements and expressive lead lines that complement the song's emotional intensity.

  • The song was originally written for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, giving it a cinematic, large-scale emotional character.
  • Production was handled by Diplo and Greg Kurstin — Kurstin's melodic sensibility makes the song well-suited for single-note guitar interpretations.
  • "Elastic Heart" reached number 7 on New Zealand's singles chart and earned a 3× Platinum certification there.

Fender Telecaster

Sia's studio sessions favor the Telecaster for its bright single-coil pickups that cut through dense synth and drum arrangements with clarity. The guitar's articulation helps every note punch through without muddying the midrange in her intricate productions.

Sia's live and session work uses the Twin Reverb's lush onboard reverb and clean headroom to capture natural amp warmth without saturation. The amp's vintage character delivers the spacious, reverb-drenched textures central to her production aesthetic.

The Deluxe Reverb provides Sia's session players with warmth and natural breakup in a more compact package than the Twin Reverb. Its built-in plate reverb emulation and responsive tube dynamics support her signature sparse, reverb-heavy effect chain.
