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.
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 third 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.

Hunt You Down
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your little blue-eyed gypsy who's always got your back
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh oh
I wanna be your favorite and always by your side
I wanna talk forever with babies down the line
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh oh
But I got something to tell you first (all right)
I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
And that you're done and I'm the one
Just know that if you fuck around
Boy, I'll hunt you down
I'm like a little kitty and I can see at night
I got eyes like a hawk, babe, I'm watching all the time
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh
Yodel-odel-oh, oh oh oh
But I got a warning for you first (all right)
I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
But that you're done and I'm the one
Just know, that if you fuck around
Boy, I'll hunt you down
I can't believe it, night after night
Life is so perfect when you walk the line
Baby, I love you so much
Don't make me kill you
I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
But that you're done and I'm the one
Just know, that if you fuck around
Remember, I've never hurt nobody, never buried a body
Never killed no one, no, no
I ain't afraid to get a little crazy
Baby, when I'm in love
You say you've had your fun
But that you're done and I'm the one
Just know, that if you fuck around
Boy, I'll hunt you down
Yeah, boy, I'll hunt you down
In Kesha's "Hunt You Down," the singer expresses her love to her partner and how she would do anything to protect him. She promises to always be there for him, as his baby, his angel all in black, and his little blue-eyed gypsy who's got his back. She uses the technique of yodeling, a type of singing that involves quickly alternating between a low and high pitch, to add emphasis to her statement.
Kesha then switches her tone and sings about how she's not afraid to get a little crazy, but she has never hurt anybody, buried a body, or killed anyone. She warns her partner that if he tries to mess around with her, she will hunt him down, even though she's never taken a life before. She compares herself to a little kitty that sees at night, with eyes like a hawk, always watching him.
Later in the song, Kesha admits that she loves her partner immensely, and she doesn't want to harm him. The song is about the lengths one would go to when protecting someone they love, even if it means resorting to violence. It's an extreme way of showing commitment and loyalty to the person you love.
