Some People Have Real Problems (sometimes stylised as Some People Have REAL Problems) is the fourth studio album by Australian singer Sia. Released in 2008, the album features five singles: "Day Too Soon", "The Girl You Lost to Cocaine", "Soon We'll Be Found", and "Academia". In live performances of "Soon We'll Be Found", Sia used sign language to accompany her singing. The album displays a more upbeat pop-style than Sia's previous downbeat albums, whilst show-casing Sia's vocals on a number of big ballads.

The fourth single, "Buttons", received attention due to its video in which Sia's face is distorted by pegs, string, net, condoms and many other things. The album debuted at number 26 on the US Billboard 200 chart, which became Sia's first album to chart on the Billboard 200 in her career.
