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.

Honey
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, we were ride-or-die, we even used to pee together
I used to be the shoulder that you would cry on
When Polly fucked you over, I'm the one you'd rely on
When it all began, I was your biggest fan
You've gone and fucked it over, over half a man
And breakfast on a yacht in the French Riviera
Delete my number, bitch, sayonara
That's girl code, baby girl
And you broke the golden rule
So I guess I'll see you never, so bye-bye
Honey, you can have my sloppy seconds
If you really need (take it)
Find my pictures under legends if you Google me
And he's only sleeping with you tryna get to me
You're so easy
You're dead to me, oh
Hey, hey
Hey, woah
Hey, hey
Hey, woah
I don't talk shit unless it's true
You smell that? Damn, it must be you
I didn't have a crystal ball, but I always knew
You would stab me in the back with your stripper shoe
Even my friends thought that it was weird
When you'd be coming over, even when I wasn't here
You're just a copycat, but no one's buying that
Up on the discount rack, right at the back of T.J. Maxx
That's girl code, baby girl
And you broke the golden rule
So I guess I'll see you never, so bye-bye
Honey, you can have my sloppy seconds
If you really need
Find my pictures under legends if you Google me
And he's only sleeping with you tryna get to me
You're so easy
You're dead to me, oh
Hey, hey
Hey, woah
Hey, hey
Hey, woah
Honey, mmm
You were more to me, you were more like family
When you were under attack, had your back
You were more than a friend to me
It was us against the world
You were my girl
I still can't believe you did this to me, oh
Honey, you can have my sloppy seconds If you really need
Find my pictures under 'legends' if you Google me
And he's only sleeping with you tryna get to me
You're so easy
You're dead to me, oh
Hey, hey
Hey, woah
Hey, hey
Hey, woah
In the song "Honey" by Ke$ha, Ke$ha expresses her disappointment and anger towards a former friend who broke the "girl code" by dating someone Ke$ha had been with previously. Ke$ha reminisces about the close bond they once had when they were "ride-or-die" and even used to "pee together." She was always there for her friend when she needed a shoulder to cry on, even when their mutual friend Polly had done her wrong. However, when Ke$ha's friend started dating the guy she had been with, also known as her "sloppy seconds," Ke$ha cut her off completely. She emphasizes the betrayal of the "girl code" and ultimately decides that her friend is "dead to me," and therefore, she no longer wishes to have anything to do with her.
The song touches on the idea of loyalty between friends and the importance of sticking to an unspoken rule among women that you don't date someone's exes. Ke$ha also shows a bittersweet nostalgia for the friendship she once had and implies that she feels hurt by the betrayal. The chorus contains the phrase "sloppy seconds," which refers to the idea that her friend is taking her leftovers, both in terms of the guy she used to date and their friendship.
Line by Line Meaning
I remember every time we used to be together
I have fond memories of our past friendship
Yeah, we were ride-or-die, we even used to pee together
We were very close friends and shared everything, even bathroom breaks
I used to be the shoulder that you would cry on
I was always there for you to give you emotional support
When Polly fucked you over, I'm the one you'd rely on
You would come to me for help when someone else hurt you
When it all began, I was your biggest fan
I was very supportive of you from the start
You've gone and fucked it over, over half a man
You've messed up our friendship and are no longer the person I once knew
And breakfast on a yacht in the French Riviera
You may have luxurious experiences now, but that doesn't mean anything to me
Delete my number, bitch, sayonara
I want nothing to do with you anymore, so delete my number and goodbye
That's girl code, baby girl
There are unspoken rules that women follow in their friendships
And you broke the golden rule
You violated one of those unspoken rules
So I guess I'll see you never, so bye-bye
Our friendship is over and I don't plan on seeing you again
Honey, you can have my sloppy seconds If you really need (take it)
You can have what's left of my old life if you want it that badly
Find my pictures under legends if you Google me
I have achieved some level of fame and recognition
And he's only sleeping with you tryna get to me
The person you're with is only using you to get closer to me
You're so easy
You're easy to manipulate and use
You're dead to me, oh
I consider our friendship to be over
I don't talk shit unless it's true
I only speak negatively about someone if what I'm saying is factual
You smell that? Damn, it must be you
You give off negative energy that I can sense
I didn't have a crystal ball, but I always knew
I had a gut feeling about your true nature all along
You would stab me in the back with your stripper shoe
You are willing to hurt me with whatever means necessary
Even my friends thought that it was weird
Even my other friends noticed that our friendship wasn't quite right
When you'd be coming over, even when I wasn't here
You were trying to intrude on my personal space
You're just a copycat, but no one's buying that
You try to imitate me, but you're not convincing anyone
Up on the discount rack, right at the back of T.J. Maxx
You're not valuable or unique, you're just like any other cheap item on sale
You were more to me, you were more like family
You were important to me and I considered you a close part of my life
When you were under attack, had your back
I defended you when you needed help
You were more than a friend to me
Our friendship was strong and had a deep level of trust and care
It was us against the world
We relied on each other in difficult times and knew we had each other's back
You were my girl
I considered you one of my closest friends
I still can't believe you did this to me, oh
I'm still hurt and surprised by your betrayal

@robbiemcloud1893
Her
@joeagger
the real heart of the record. wow. a little bit of a low-key campfire jam injected with some of her most soulful vocals. absolutely gorgeous
@loganmurphy9453
I think the soulful vocals are mostly Tayla Parx... Tayla sings almost the entire chorus & hook.
@joeagger
Logan Murphy I totally hear Kesha in there too!!
@loganmurphy9453
@@joeagger yeah, they definitely sing some parts together, I find Tayla's voice to be more prominent, though! Not saying it's a bad thing at all, either, I really like the song, but 1) Tayla should have been credited as featured artist if they were gonna use her voice so prominently or 2) they should have made kesha a bit more prominent if they weren't going to credit Tayla.
