This was a 2013 pop song that Wikipedia says was the largest-selling single of that year. It was nominated for Best Song at the next year's Oscars. The title is  a single word.
(And if I was aware of it, most people must have been aware of it, because I stopped keeping up with pop music years ago.)

What's to discuss, old friend?

Still no guesses? The song lost the Oscar to "Let It Go" from Frozen, though I like to think it was a close race because I like both songs. Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of it that featured a bevy of comedians and comic actors in the video. The title has five letters in it.

I'm not sure how many more clues I can come up with. If nobody gets it by Friday afternoon I'll probably go with a different song.

This 2010 song is a sad one with a hot beat.

Didn't want to cop out so I asked Spotify for a 2010 playlist and clicked next until song 39 and there it was - Dancing On My Own by Robin!  ;D

Didn't know it at all but never mind.  :P
