We Are Born is the fifth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Sia.[3] It was released on 18 June 2010.

At the J Awards of 2010, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[6]

Entertainment Weekly said: "On We Are Born the chanteuse explores more caffeinated avenues...It's party music with a heart." Slant Magazine said: "While We Are Born may not be as immediate or distinctive a statement as its predecessor, there's ultimately very little about it that doesn't work."
The album was nominated for a J Award on 26 July 2010.[18]
