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.

Lucky
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've done I've done
The very best that I could (best that I could)
I'm selfish sometimes
I'm jeal, jealous but I
Cant imagine how hollow life would be without you
I know how lucky i am to have you,
All i have for you is love and
I wasted away so many chances to say
How much it means to know there's
Someone out there like you
Hmm ohh ohh ohhhh ohh ohhhhh
After all the ups and downs we've been though
There's a fav that ties a lifeline from me to you
And its larger than love
Yea you just have to trust (just have to trust)
No one can touch or ever take that away from us
I know how lucky i am to have you,
I don't tell you enough that
All i have for you is love and
I wasted away so many chances to say
How much it means to know there's
Someone out there like you
We were never strangers it was meant to be
What we have it was destiny
Its so crazy but its almost like you know me
Better than myself and now we
Read each others mind before we say a word
I'm more comfortable around you more myself
Then I've ever been around anyone else
And if I'm taking you for granted, nooooo
I know how lucky i am to have you,
I don't tell you enough that
All i have for you is love and
I wasted away so many chances to say
How much it means to know there's
Someone out there like you
Ke$ha's song "Lucky" is an expression of gratitude towards a significant other. The opening lines reveal a vulnerable side of the singer as she admits that she wasn't taught how to love and has given the best that she can. However, she occasionally displays qualities of selfishness and jealousy, but she knows that life would be empty without her lover.
In the chorus, she acknowledges how lucky she is to have this person in her life and regrets not expressing her appreciation enough. She wasted many opportunities to convey how much it means to have someone like this in her life. The ups and downs they've faced have only made their connection stronger as they're tied together by an inextricable force that's beyond love.
The song's bridge highlights the naturalness of their relationship as they understand each other better than anyone else. They communicate without words, and the singer feels the most comfortable and authentic around this person. She acknowledges that she might sometimes take them for granted, but she never forgets how lucky she is to have them in her life.

No one ever really showed me how to love
I never had anyone teach me how to love another person
But I've done I've done
Despite not having guidance, I have tried my best
The very best that I could (best that I could)
I did everything within my power to love you
I'm selfish sometimes
I can be self-absorbed at times
I'm jeal, jealous but I
I feel envy from time to time, but
Cant imagine how hollow life would be without you
I can't fathom what life would be like without you in it
I know how lucky i am to have you,
I understand how fortunate I am to be with you
I don't tell you enough that
I acknowledge that I don't express my love for you as often as I should
All i have for you is love and
All I can offer you is my affection
I wasted away so many chances to say
I regret not seizing many opportunities to tell you
How much it means to know there's
How much it signifies to me that there is
Someone out there like you
Someone who is like you in existence
After all the ups and downs we've been though
Despite all the good and bad times we've had
There's a fav that ties a lifeline from me to you
There's an unbreakable bond between you and me
And its larger than love
This connection is stronger than just love alone
Yea you just have to trust (just have to trust)
It just takes trust between us
No one can touch or ever take that away from us
No one can break the bond we share
We were never strangers it was meant to be
We were never meant to be strangers, it was destiny
What we have it was destiny
Our love and connection were predetermined
Its so crazy but its almost like you know me
It's astonishing but you seem to understand me better than I do myself
Better than myself and now we
You know me better than I know myself, and now we
Read each others mind before we say a word
We can anticipate each other's thoughts before they're spoken
I'm more comfortable around you more myself
I feel more comfortable and like myself when I'm with you
Then I've ever been around anyone else
More than I've ever felt around anyone else
And if I'm taking you for granted, nooooo
And if I'm not appreciative enough of you, I apologize
