About This Track

'Genius' is a playful exchange between Labrinth and Sia, each claiming the title for themselves on the grounds that loving someone so complicated requires exceptional intelligence. The track trades verses and harmonies over a stuttering electronic beat, the chorus built around a cheerful stammer that turns self-aggrandisement into a shared joke. Diplo's production keeps the arrangement light and bouncy, the interlude breaks punctuated by his vocal tags.

Labrinth opens with a series of rhetorical questions, 'Do you think I'm stupid?', 'Do you think I'm helpless?', before declaring that his devotion makes him a genius. Sia responds in kind, invoking Einstein, Newton, Galileo, and Hawking as points of comparison, insisting that only someone of rare intellect could navigate the demands of loving her. The bridge shifts the metaphor slightly: 'You're the lock and I'm the key', the pair framing their relationship as a puzzle only they can solve.

The track appeared on the collaborative album from the trio, a project that leaned into pop hooks and high-concept vocal interplay. The stuttered title refrain and the back-and-forth structure give the song a lightness that undercuts the grandiosity of the claim, the whole thing delivered with enough wink to keep it charming rather than earnest.

"Genius" is a track by LSD, from the album LABRINTH, SIA & DIPLO PRESENT... LSD, released 3rd May 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

[Intro: Sia]

Labrinth

[Verse 1: Labrinth]

Do you think I'm stupid?

Do you think I'm batshit crazy havin' you on my mind?

Do you think I'm helpless?

My algebra gon' equal you every time

Do you think I'm callin'?

Do you think I'm callin' out your name every night?

Girl, I have fallen for you

(What, what you say?)

[Pre-Chorus: Sia & Labrinth]

Oh my God

Baby, baby, don't you see-ee-ee?

I got everything you nee-ee-eed

O-only a genius could love a woman like she

Oh my God

Baby, baby, don't you see-ee-ee?

[Verse 2: Sia]

Oh

You'll be my Einstein, my Newton

My Galileo, and my Hawkings

Boy, put that pep in my step

Put your arm 'round my neck while I am walkin'

Please understand

Yeah, I have fallen for you, you

(What, what you say?)

[Pre-Chorus: Labrinth & Sia]

Oh my God

Baby, baby, don't you see-ee-ee?

I got everything you need

O-only a genius could love a woman like me

Sayin', oh my God (My God)

Baby, baby, don't you see-ee-ee? (Yeah)

I got everything you need

O-o-only a genius could love a woman like me

[Chorus: Labrinth & Sia]

I'm a ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-genius

A ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-ge-genius

He-he's a genius

'Cause I love a woman like you

[Bridge: Sia, Sia & Labrinth]

(Da-na-na)

(Da-da-da-da-da-mm-da, da-na-na)

Oh my God

Dot the I's and cross the T's

I got everything you need

Well, only a genius could love a woman like me

Oh my God

You're the lock and I'm the ke-e-ey

I got everything you need

Well, only a genius could love a woman like me

[Outro: Labrinth & Sia, Labrinth, Sia]

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause I love a woman like you

Oh, oh, oh

He-he-he's a genius (Oh)

'Cause I love a woman like you
