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.

My First Kiss
Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mwah mwah and twist
Mwah mwah and twist
Well my first kiss went a little like this
And twist
And twist
And no more books
I got a kiss under the bleachers
Hoping that nobody looked
Lips like licorice
Tongue like candy
Excuse me miss but can I get you out your panties
In the back of the car,
on the way to the bar
I got you on my lips
(I got you on my lips)
At the foot of the stairs
With my fingers in your hair
Baby, this is it
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh, ooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh, ooh
My first kiss went a little like this
I said no more sailors and no more soldiers
With your name in a heart tattooed up on the shoulders
Your kiss is like whiskey, it gets me drunk
And I wake up in the morning with the taste of your tongue
In the back of the car on the way to the bar
I got you on my lips
(I got you on my lips)
At the foot of the stairs
With my fingers in your hair
Baby, this is it
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh, ooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh, ooh
My first kiss went a little like this
And twist, and twist
Well, my first kiss went a little like this
And twist
And twist
Yeah, she won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh,
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh, ooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooh, ooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
The song “My First Kiss” by Ke$ha featuring 3OH!3 describes Ke$ha’s first sexual encounter. The chorus sets the tone for the lyrics: Ke$ha says that the girl she’s with won’t be able to get enough of her once they get a little physical. The first verse refers to Ke$ha’s kiss under the bleachers hoping that nobody looks, followed by a request to the girl to remove her panties. This verse suggests that Ke$ha is exploring her sexuality and is experimenting with physical intimacy for the first time.
The second verse describes a sailor or soldier with a heart tattoo and their whiskey-like kiss that intoxicates Ke$ha. The line “If I had it my way, you know that I’d make her say ooh ooh” reinforces Ke$ha’s sexual desire and willingness to take control of the situation. The repetition of “Mwah mwah and twist” in the chorus further emphasizes the physical and sexual nature of the song.
Overall, the song portrays Ke$ha as an assertive and sexually confident woman who takes initiative in her encounters. The lyrics discuss sexual pleasure from a female perspective, which is not often explored in mainstream music.
