Background
In June 2010, Kesha discussed her second studio album with MTV News. During the interview she revealed that she was already beginning to think about her second album and explained that it was going differ from her first record, specifically commenting that it would reflect her growth: "There's definitely going to be a difference. I'm always changing and evolving and because I write all of my own music it will be reflective of the record. It'll still stay fun and young and irreverent." After the release of her first album Kesha embarked on her first worldwide tour, the Get Sleazy Tour throughout 2011. While touring she began writing songs for her second album but recording and other work on the album was not commenced until she had completed the tour.
In 2011, the singer took a hiatus from music to embark on other ventures. She was hired by the Humane Society and became their first global ambassador, which consumed her time as she made a documentary for National Geographic that revolved around "animals being abused and how to stop that, or animals that are going extinct and how to help those animals." The album includes a variety of different musical participants, which was explained by the singer: "The range of artists I want to work with is so vast itโs bizarre. If someone is a real artist, you canโt confine them to a particular genre. Itโs my mission to make it all make sense somehow." Along with expanding her collaborations, the singer expanded her musical repertoire, as she began playing the guitar significantly more with the plans of incorporating it into her new material. In February 2012, while being interviewed by Glamour, Kesha stated that while she was currently in the process of writing songs for her album, she was also taking a variety of instrument lessons, emphasizing specifically that she was taking guitar lessons.

Warrior
Ke$ha Lyrics
We were born to break the doors down
Fightin' till the end
It's something that's inside of us
It's how we've always been
Warrior-ior-ior
Warrior-ior
Warrior-ior-ior
Warrior-ior
We are the misfits
We are the bad kids
The degenerates
We ain't perfect but that's alright
Love us or hate us
Nothin' can break us
Better believe us
Times, they are changing tonight
We don't want to flirt with disaster
On your ass we'll pounce like a panther
Cut the bullshit out with a dagger
With a dagger
With a dagger
Do or die we all gonna stay young
Shoot the lights out with a machine gun
Think it's time for a revolution
Revolution
Revolution
We were born to break the doors down
Fightin' till the end
It's something that's inside of us
It's how we've always been
Warrior-ior-ior
Warrior-ior
Warrior-ior-ior
Warrior-ior
Now this is our time
Our generation
And we're impatient
Animals you ready to fight!
Fight for the fuck ups
Stand up for true love
We'll never give up
Live like it's our last night alive
We don't want to flirt with disaster
On your ass we'll pounce like a panther
Cut the bullshit out with a dagger
With a dagger
With a dagger
Do or die we all gonna stay young
Shoot the lights out with a machine gun
Think it's time for a revolution
Revolution
Revolution
We were born to break the doors down
Fightin' till the end
It's something that's inside of us
It's how we've always been
Warrior-ior-ior

We were born to break the doors down
Fightin' till the end
It's something that's inside of us
It's how we've always been
