"Clap Your Hands" is a 2010 single from Sia's fifth studio album We Are Born (2010).[2] The song was written by Sia and Samuel Dixon, and produced by Greg Kurstin.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010, "Clap Your Hands" was nominated for Single of the Year[3] while Kris Moyes won Best Video for "Clap Your Hands".[4]

Sia and co-writer Samuel Dixon were nominated for Song of the Year at the 2011 APRA Music Awards for songwriting, for their work on "Clap Your Hands".[5][6] It was voted at number 13 in the annual Triple J Hottest 100 poll in Australia.[7]

The song was remixed by Diplo. In keeping with her quirky sense of humour, Sia has been known at live shows to refer affectionately to the song as 'Crap Your Pants'.[8]
