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.
Kesha released her second album, Warrior, on November 30, 2012. The album features a collaboration with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips.
On October 7, 2013, Kesha and Pitbull released a collaboration, Timber, which was became Kesha's fourth number-one.
In 2014, after spending two months in rehab for eating disorder treatment, and appealing about her sexual assault case with Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald (Dr. Luke), Kesha announced she was working on her third album.
In 2017, she released her third album, Rainbow after Dr. Luke was fired from Kemosabe Records. Rainbow debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and has also received a grammy nomination for 'Best Pop Vocal Album' and 'Best Pop Solo Performance' for Praying.

Boots and 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, work it out
(Let me break it down)
I try it on, I take it off
So what you got?
Something about
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)
I'm keeping quite the collection
Take nothing less than perfection
Cowboy boots, cowboy boys
Mmhmm oh the joy
My men drop beats like a bomb
Excuse me, now huh?
Wind me up, spin me 'round
Oh lookie what I've found
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
Whatcha lookin' at?
Hey
Something you can't have
Yeah
They've got me lookin' rad
If you're not
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 (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)
Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah Ah-ah

The song "Boots and Boys" by Ke$ha is all about her love for two things in particular – boots and boys. Ke$ha mentions that she has an obsession for the smell and touch of boots and the freedom that comes from being with a cowboy boy. She doesn't care if it becomes a habit, because she needs it now. She keeps a collection of cowboy boots and boy toys and takes nothing less than perfection. They bring her so much joy and she wears them both so pretty when she walks in the city. The song is all about her love for these two things and how happy they make her.
The lines "My men drop beats like a bomb, excuse me, now huh?" refer to how she wants to keep dancing with her men who know how to kick up the tempo – the cowboys who drop beats like a bomb on the floor. These two things fuel her and make her "crazy" with pleasure, and she can't get enough of them. The repeated phrase "Boots and boys" emphasizes her love of these two things, and the song ends with her relishing in their company.
