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.

Boots & Boys
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think it's time that I mention
I've got myself an obsession For the smell, for the touch ?
I know I got myself a habit but I've got to have it now
I don't care where work it out
(Let me break it down)
I try it on, I take it off
Something 'bout boots and boys (boots and boys)
They bring me so much joy (bring me joy)
(I gotta say it) I wear 'em both so pretty as I walk in the city
(Watch out) boots and boys
(Give me boots and boys)
Boots and boys
(Give me boots and boys)
Oh
I'm keeping quite the collection
Take nothing less than perfection
Cowboy boots, cowboy boys
Mmm, oh the joy
My men drop beats like a bomb
Excuse me, now, huh?
Wind me up, spin me 'round
Oh, look at what I've found (oh)
Boots and boys (boots and boys)
They bring me so much joy (bring me joy)
(I gotta say it) I wear 'em both so pretty as I walk in the city
(Watch out) boots and boys
(Give me boots and boys)
Crazy for you, crazy for you (give me boots and boys)
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you (give me boots and boys)
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you (give me boots and boys)
Oh
(Hey) watcha lookin' at?
(Hey) something you can't have
(Yeah) they've got me lookin' rad
Ya feelin' that?
Boots and boys (boots and boys)
They bring me so much joy (bring me joy)
(I gotta say it) I wear 'em both so pretty as I walk in the city
(Watch out) boots and boys
Something 'bout boots and boys (boots and boys)
They bring me so much joy (bring me joy)
I gotta say I wear 'em both so pretty as I walk in the city
Watch out, boots and boys (give me boots and boys)
Crazy for you, crazy for you (give me boots and boys)
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you (give me boots and boys)
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you (give me boots and boys)
Oh
The lyrics to Ke$ha's song Boots & Boys are an ode to the singer's love for both footwear and men, and the pleasure they bring her. The song is essentially a celebration of Ke$ha’s footwear obsession and her love for men, both “cowboy boots” and “cowboy boys” alike. She acknowledges that it's become somewhat of a habit, an addiction that she can't shake and isn't sure she wants to. At first glance, the song could be viewed as shallow or even silly, but in reality, it's a fun and lighthearted testament to a girl who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it.
Throughout the song, we see Ke$ha unapologetically enjoying herself, strutting her stuff while wearing her beloved boots and flirting with her boys. Despite the repetitive nature of the chorus, the song is an upbeat and catchy tune that's hard not to dance along to. It's a tongue-in-cheek look at how sometimes, the simplest things in life can bring us the most joy.
