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.

Goodbye
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were so young, I can't forget
How you kissed my face, whoa
And you took me home, whoa
I remember the life years ago
The air mattress on the floor
That was before, whoa
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye
When I was lost, I found you
When I was broke, you bought me shoes
You were my first, whoa
And dammit this hurts, whoa
Now you've got a girl, someone new
And I can't pretend to just be cool
I can't be your friend, whoa
So this is the end
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye
Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye
Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)
Ke$ha's song "Goodbye" tells the emotional story of a past relationship that is coming to an end. The lyrics express the singer's memories of meeting their significant other, falling in love, but eventually losing touch as life takes over. The reminiscing of their past life, the happy memories of being happy in love, and how they would never have imagined that they would be saying goodbye. The chorus of the song, "Oh, how we lost our minds, When we fell in love that night, I never thought that I, Would ever leave your side, Promise me you won't cry, This is our last goodbye", is a plea to her former lover that they shouldn't cry as they say their final goodbyes.
The second verse takes a turn and reveals that the singer's ex has moved on to someone else, which makes it hard for them to remain friends as they had planned. The lyrics "Now you've got a girl, someone new, And I can't pretend to just be cool, I can't be your friend, whoa, So this is the end" shows that trying to be friends in this situation seems impossible due to the emotional pain that they had gone through because of their past history.
Overall, "Goodbye" is a heartbreaking song that depicts the emotional pain of losing love and having to walk away forever. It acknowledges the joy and memories shared between the two, but ultimately, it's time to say goodbye.
