Kesha Plans to Re-Record TiK ToK with Lyric Change Once She Gains Legal Rights

As a devoted fan of Kesha for over a decade now, I find myself utterly captivated by her recent reflections on TiK ToK, her groundbreaking single that turned the music world upside down fifteen years ago. Her words echo in my heart like the rhythmic beats of that iconic song, reminding me of the unadulterated joy and carefree spirit it brought to us all back then.


Kesha recently marked the 15th anniversary of her hit debut single “TiK ToK” on social media, emphasizing its enduring influence. She shared that this tune, which showcased both her voice and name for the first time, was crafted with a spirit of joy and merriment.

Kesha shared that she intended TiK ToK to bring joy to listeners similar to how she felt when creating it, and she’s glad it still does so for her today. Looking back on the song, she sees it as a reflection of her youthful spirit – spirited, free, and brimming with energy. She expressed that TiK ToK encapsulates an aspect of her personality she cherishes and feels driven to preserve.

Regardless of the numerous transformations that have occurred in her life and the world over the past fifteen years, Kesha continues to view TiK ToK as an enduring symbol of her early outlook. This song remains a cherished memory for her because it encapsulates the spirit and joy she aimed to share with her fans during that time.

She went on to express her affection for the revised lyrics and her plan to keep them in the recording permanently. In response to the rapper and businessman’s alleged sexual misconduct allegations, Kesha inserted the line “screw P. Diddy” into the song during Reneé Rapp’s Coachella performance in April. Later, in a strongly worded tweet, Kesha posted, “Wake up in the morning feeling like screw P Diddy,” written in all caps.

Kesha expressed on X (previously Twitter) that she intends to legally re-record her song at the earliest opportunity. She explained that this song, which she refers to as her “first-born,” symbolizes her dedication to upholding joy and amusement for herself and others alike. She emphasized that the song’s uplifting message remains undiminished amidst the challenging circumstances surrounding it.

Kesha aimed for the playful delight embedded within her song’s three-and-a-half minute span to strike a chord with listeners, reminding them of their inner child’s happiness. In essence, she hoped that her music would provide an opportunity for all to embrace and enjoy this unrestrained, joyous spirit.
