"Fame Won't Love You" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Sia featuring American media personality and singer Paris Hilton.

The collaboration between Sia and Hilton followed their on‑stage surprise appearance with Miley Cyrus performing Hilton's hit "Stars Are Blind" at NBC's Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party in December 2022. [6]
On October 16, 2023,at the Hilton's Mega Conference at Allegiant Stadium,Sia previewed a verse of the song backstage for Hilton's crew. In Hilton's performance,she described Sia as her inspiration and confirmed the song and Hilton's second album were worked together. [7]

Produced and co-written by Greg Kurstin and Sia,"Fame Won’t Love You" is a synth-pop ballad that addresses the hollow nature of fame contrasted with familial love. Hilton and Sia deliver reflective vocals over an atmospheric,mid-tempo backdrop.
Critics praised Hilton's vocal growth under Sia's mentorship. Billboard noted that Hilton said:"…I really sang in ways that I never knew were possible," and Sia called Hilton's performance a "liberation". [2] The AP News highlighted the duet among the standout tracks of Reasonable Woman . [9]
