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.

Ke$ha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city (let's go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't comin' back
I'm talkin' pedicure on our toes, toes
Tryin' on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowin' up our phones, phones
Pullin' up to the parties
Tryna get a little bit tipsy
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Oh, whoa, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa, whoa-oh
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Oh, whoa, whoa-oh
Oh, whoa, whoa-oh
Ain't gotta care in the world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
And now the dudes are linin' up 'cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
I'm talkin' 'bout everybody gettin' crunk, crunk
Boys try to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he gettin' too drunk, drunk
Now, now, we go until they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us down
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock

You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yeah, you got me
DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me

Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in

The lyrics of Ke$ha's song "TiK ToK" depict the life of a young woman who enjoys partying and socializing with friends. She wakes up in the morning feeling like P Diddy, which symbolizes her confidence and swagger. She grabs her glasses and heads out to hit the city before leaving her house. She brushes her teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniels, which represents her rebellious attitude and her desire to live life on her own terms.
The chorus of the song talks about her experience at parties, where she and her friends get pedicures, try on clothes, and receive calls from interested boys. They play their favorite CDs and drive around in their cars with the tops down. The focus is on having fun and being carefree. She encourages the DJ to keep playing music and vows to keep partying until the morning sun shines. The last verse highlights her infatuation with the DJ, whom she describes as being able to build her up and break her down.
