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.

On October 7, 2013, Kesha and Pitbull released a collaboration, Timber, which was became Kesha's fourth number-one.

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.

Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or your bouji friends
I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
Okay I’m young and I’m tatted
I get them bucks like an addict
In this Christian Dior, I spend so much on my fabric
And she in love with my stick, she say I work it like magic
Okay no need to panic, I’m on a beach where the sand is
Somewhere smokin’ on medication, no I wont need a bandage
Some would look at my age and try to say I’m young and I’m handsome
I say I’m filthy fucking rich, so I’m an old dirty bastard
And my cribs a disaster and my kush is the master
I was in my yellow car but my Ferrari go faster
Sounding like a band in it and my diamonds the dancers
On the remix with Kesha, bout to go see the cashier
On the grind so now my watch has got a lot of diamonds in it
I look down and see a hundred thou’ and think it's time to get it
Brought a lot of marijauna and I’m here to share it
No it’s not a problem, better get it, then I wont be here tomorrow momma
I don’t need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bouji friends
And I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
I don’t need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bouji friends
And I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
We start out so cute in our baby pictures
That momma shot for our daddy so that HE wouldn’t forget you
He forgot anyway, but hey, one day he’ll remember
If not he’s human, I’m human, you human, we’ll forgive him
God gives him his ultimatum, can’t see how momma hates him
He’s such a cool ass guy, then wonder why she date him
I’m only eight, I’m not old enough, guess it’s complicated
Two parent dwellings, expelling have got so underrated
I only say this in cadence so it don’t get negated
I was gon’ save it for later but later look like maybe
This crazy lady named Kesha is guessing my Mercedes
Would be all new and through through, but it's the 1980?s
But now that we are cool cool, she sippin'’ Irish Baileys
She say “Stacks, you’re true blue?”
I said “Nah, I’m Navy”
I call her Kesha, she like it, because it’s hood to her
She call me Andre 6000 because I’m good to her
I don’t need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bouji friends
And I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
I don’t need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bouji friends
And I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
Hey Ke$ha what up boo it's me
Do you know what to do wit me?
Bad bitches, I got two of me
Well you better make it two or three
Bad bitches know me so don’t bother introducing me
They want me more than diamonds
Wipe me down bitch, I’m super clean
I’m hella cold, mega paid, making moves doing things
Bitches stay queued and they all wanna do the king
I’m ballin’, royalty, knew it when I seen her
I was gonna take her, make her my new royal penis cleaner
My demeanor something special and this dick is so impressive
Bitch I bet you take it off and take it with you if I let you
I ain't trippin’, I’m just here, couldn’t catch you when I catch you
Bitch my swagger super natural
Get you pregnant looking at you
I ain't nothing like them other dudes
I’m an atom bomb, they a molecule
Still paint ballin’ out the frame, stuntin’ like a fool
I don’t need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bouji friends
And I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
Rat-a-tat-tat on your dum-dum drum
The beat’s so fat gonna make me come
Um, um, um, over to your place!
Rat-a-tat-tat on your dum-dum drum
The beat’s so fat, gonna make me come
Um, um, um, over to your place!
We be on that shit that no one be on
That's what we one, smoke that neon
Kings of Leon, Dynamite Napoleon
Got some skinny’s and a tee on
And some vans and my mans got the ratchet
While I’m laying in some pussy you be laying in a casket
And I’m just saying, I’m just spazzing
I'm just smashing, I'm just nasty
If you ’bout it, bust it open
Oh you fancy man, I got so many flows like mansion
Catch a tantrum, know a girl called Cleopatra
She a throw that pussy at ya
I’m financially straight like a lion
I ain't lying
And all my hoes on they toes
Ballerina, Black Swan
Man we on Ciroc, Grey Goose
It’s Weezy baby, sleazy baby
(Young Mula baby)
I don’t need you or your brand new Benz
Or your bouji friends
And I don’t need love looking like diamonds
Looking like diamonds
(it's sleazy)
In the opening lines of Ke$ha's song Sleazy Remix 2.0, the artist asserts her independence from the material possessions and flashy lifestyles that are often equated with success and love. She declares that she doesn't need a brand new Benz or bouji friends, and she doesn't want love that looks like diamonds. In the following verses, a number of rappers offer their own perspectives, boasting about their wealth, fame, and sexual prowess. Despite their bluster, the various rappers all echo Ke$ha's message of rejecting societal norms and expectations. Ke$ha ends the song with her repeated refrain of "it's sleazy," which can be interpreted in a few ways - it can refer to the lyrics and themes explored in the song, the party culture that's being celebrated, or simply Ke$ha's unapologetic attitude.
