Kesha is done living up to other peopleâs expectations on her brand new single.
On Thursday (November 21), the musician unveiled a new track titled âMy Own Dance,â the second offering off her long-awaited fourth studio album, High Road. And much like its Big Freedia-assisted leader âRaising Hell,â Keshaâs latest anthem finds the singer dancing to the beat of her own drum.
âWoke up this morning, feeling myself/ Hungover as hell like 2012, fâk it,â Kesha opens the track, before crooning of the conflicting demands of pop stardom in the defiant pre-chorus: ââYouâre the party girl, youâre the tragedyâ/ But the funny thingâs Iâm fâking everything.â
While announcing the visual for her new tune on Instagram, Kesha described âMy Own Danceâ as the âmission statementâ of her next album, due out on January 10, 2020.Â
In a recent interview with The Atlantic, Kesha spoke about how the record brought back the joy she felt of returning back to the genre that made her a star. âI had to do some thinking about it,â she expressed of her reluctance to writing pop music again. âI felt I didnât deserve to just be unapologetically joyous and happy, because as the the whole world knows, Iâve been through some ⊠traumatic things in my life.â The vocalist said that all changed with âMy Own Dance,â adding that âit was making my life happier by making happier music.â
