Her debut album, entitled Animal, was released on January 5, 2010 in the US to mixed reviews from music critics. The album sold 152,000 copies in its first week in the US, debuting at number one. Animal was seven years in the making and resulted in Kesha's accumulating over two hundred songs by the time of its release, with fourteen making the final cut. A number one placing in New Zealand for the first single TiK ToK (first released on August 7, 2009) gave Kesha her first solo number one; this was followed by number one positions in Canada, Australia, Norway and the United States, reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 as the first number one of the 2010 decade. During its second week at number one on the chart, TiK ToK set the female download record and became the second best-selling single in a week, after Right Round, for shifting over 610,000 copies. During its fifth week at the top of the chart, it broke the record for the highest weekly plays on the radio airplay chart. Her second single, Blah Blah Blah (feat. 3OH!3), was first released on February 19, 2010 and has since charted within the top 10 in four different countries.
On November 9th, 2010, Kesha released the EP Cannibal, which included the chart topping single We R Who We R. It debuted atop the charts and became the singer’s third number one hit.

Boogie Feet
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna come with me?
My moves are world-renowned
So good you won't believe
Oh, oh, oh
All right Some people, they got the big brains
They make all the computer games
Pop and fizzle like a Pepsi
Some people, they got the money
Drive around in Lamborghinis
I don't need any of those things
I just wanna dance like a motherfucker, yeah
I wanna go get down
You wanna come with me?
My moves are world-renowned
So good, you won't believe
Oh, oh, oh
Dance with me, dance with me, please
I'm gonna shake my butt, yeah, that's a guarantee
My moves are such good luck, you'll win the lottery
Oh, oh, oh
Dance with me, dance with me, please
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Come on, please?
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Come on (dance with me, please)
Or are you scared of these boogie feet?
Some people, seem mean and nasty
But I think they're just unhappy
The body needs a good shakin'
To let the brain fill up with the good vibrations
I wanna go get down
You wanna come with me?
My moves are world-renowned
So good, you won't believe
Oh, oh, oh
Dance with me, dance with me, please
I'm gonna shake my butt, yeah, that's a guarantee
My moves are such good luck, you'll win the lottery
Oh, oh, oh
Dance with me, dance with me, please
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Beg for it (dance with me, please)
Come on, please?
Dance with me (dance with me, please)
Come on (dance with me, please)
Or are you scared of these boogie feet?
Why waste your time in your mind?
There's no wrong, there's no right
Koo koo bananas unite (you got it)
Life's a hello, a goodbye
The last laugh, then you die
I boogie 'cause I'm alive (you got it)
Are you scared of these boogie feet?
In "Boogie Feet," Ke$ha invites others to let go and dance with her. She's more interested in having a good time than impressing people with her looks or possessions, and she suggests that dancing can improve our mood and overall well-being. She lists people who have different talents or possessions, but says that she doesn't need any of those things in order to be happy. The chorus asks someone (presumably the listener) to dance with Ke$ha, and she offers a guarantee that her moves will bring good luck. The bridge highlights the idea that dancing can improve our mental health and suggests that it's okay to let loose and have fun.
Overall, the song encourages people to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy themselves. Ke$ha suggests that dancing can be a way to achieve this goal, and she brings her own enthusiastic, carefree attitude to the song. By highlighting the importance of living in the moment and not worrying about other people's perceptions or judgments, Ke$ha encourages listeners to embrace their inner boogie.
