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.

Invisible
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm invisible, I can't be seen
Maybe I'm just not like everyone
I fade a little more each day
Nothing to get but less to say
It's hard to feel when all you feel is numb
I keep looking at you
Like I'm invisible
Who do I have to be
For you notice me
I must be invisible
I am invisible
Nothing's real and nothing matters
Fell apart, the pieces scattered
I could disappear without a trace
I'm all around but can't get in
I'm on the outside looking in
Like the wind, I'll blow you all away
I keep looking at you
Keep looking right through
Like I'm invisible
Who do I have to be
For you notice me
I must be invisible
I am invisible
You make me what I am
I can't believe you
Didn't see the sunlight
So if I'm invisible
Who's ever gonna
Pin me with a crime
I am invisible
I am, I am, I am
I am invisible
I am, I am, I am
I keep looking at you
Keep looking right through
Like I'm invisible
Who do I have to be
For you notice me
I must be invisible
I am invisible
The lyrics to Ke$ha's song "Invisible" delve into the feeling of being unnoticed and unimportant. The singer feels invisible and unseen by others, as if they don't exist. They express frustration and sadness about not being recognized or acknowledged by the person they are addressing.
The lines "Perhaps you didn't notice me, I'm invisible, I can't be seen" convey the singer's perception of their own invisibility. They believe that they go unnoticed and are easily forgotten, fading into the background. They feel disconnected from others and have less to say, to the point where they start feeling numb.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to be seen and acknowledged. They repeatedly state that they feel like nobody notices them, and they question who they have to be in order for someone to finally notice their presence. The repetition of "I am invisible" further emphasizes their feelings of insignificance and being overlooked.
The second verse continues to explore the theme of invisibility and the singer's sense of detachment. They feel like nothing in their life is real or meaningful, as if everything has fallen apart. They describe themselves as being on the outside looking in, unable to fully connect with others. The metaphor of the wind blowing people away suggests that they feel insignificant and unable to leave a lasting impression.
Overall, "Invisible" highlights the loneliness and frustration that can come from feeling unnoticed and disregarded by others. It captures the longing for recognition and validation, as well as the toll it takes on one's emotions and self-esteem.

Perhaps you didn't notice me
Maybe you didn't pay attention to me
I'm invisible, I can't be seen
I feel unnoticed and ignored
Maybe I'm just not like everyone
Maybe I don't fit in with others
I fade a little more each day
I feel like I'm losing my identity
Nothing to get but less to say
I have little to say because I feel misunderstood
It's hard to feel when all you feel is numb
I struggle to experience emotions because I feel disconnected
I keep looking at you
I continue to seek your attention
Keep looking right through
But you ignore me completely
Like I'm invisible
Treating me as if I don't exist
Who do I have to be
What must I do
For you notice me
So you can acknowledge my presence
I must be invisible
I must be completely unnoticed
Nothing's real and nothing matters
Everything feels shallow and insignificant
Fell apart, the pieces scattered
My life has fallen apart and I feel broken
I could disappear without a trace
I could vanish and no one would notice
I'm all around but can't get in
I'm present, but I'm excluded
I'm on the outside looking in
I'm an outsider observing from a distance
Like the wind, I'll blow you all away
I can easily be forgotten or disregarded
You make me what I am
I rely on your perception to define myself
I can't believe you
I'm surprised that you
Didn't see the sunlight
Couldn't recognize my value
So if I'm invisible
If I'm truly unnoticed
Who's ever gonna
Who will ever
Pin me with a crime
Accuse me of anything
I am, I am, I am
I exist, I exist, I exist
I am invisible
But no one acknowledges me
I am invisible
I remain unseen

...if you think about this song another way, it's really depressing. Because this is the kind of music she wanted to do, but when she was doing it she was basically invisible. So she changed her public appearance to be noticed and successful to that of what it is today.
