Details: How are you going to celebrate the release of your album Animal?
Ke$ha: I want to take everybody I love to Medieval Times or something ridiculous like that.
Details: What do you do to get ready for shows?
Ke$ha: I usually, like, get my game face on, and then I draw dollar signs all over my body and my bandmates, and then I smother myself with baby oil and dump a bucket of glitter on my body. We have to buy glitter by the pound.
Details: Do you have any tattoos?
Ke$ha: I have five tattoos. But actually two of them are fading at the moment because I got them from my friend with, like, a safety pin and a pen two months ago. So two of them might not be tattoos in about a month.
Details: Were you in prison two months ago?
Ke$ha: No, I had just finished my record, so that night we got a little crazy, and we thought it was a really good idea to give each other tattoos to symbolize such a special event in my life. So he gave me a cross. Or one could call it a t. Or an x. And then this is pretty embarrassing, but—it’s fading—my friend tattooed YEAH! on my foot.
Details: What was the first tattoo you ever got?
Ke$ha: The first tattoo is an anchor I got when I snuck into Cuba when I was 18. I got that because we were hanging out with this guy, and he was like, “If you give me five dollars, I’ll give you a tattoo.” So I’m like, “All right, fine.” He gave me an anchor tattoo because I’m a diver.
Details: I read that you were once kicked out of Prince’s house. Where else have you been escorted out of?
Ke$ha: Oh, God, so many places. I went to a club opening with Katy Perry about a year and a half ago. I saw David Spade, and I always thought that he was, like, so sexy in Joe Dirt. I just think rednecks are so hot. So I was like, “Oh, my God, this is my big chance! He’s, like, my No. 1 if-I-could-I-would. David Spade, let’s do this!” But then he kind of brushed me off, and I was like, “Oh, hell no.” So I stole his bottle of whiskey and ran to the bathroom, and then they came and found me and threw me out.
Urban pop singer Ke$ha released her debut album ‘Animal’ this week to much ballyhoo. But the ingénue, who had a hit with the electro party anthem ‘TiK ToK’ and sang the chorus hook on Flo Rida’s smash ‘Right Round,’ first brushed with fame several years ago when she and her family were featured on the Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reality TV vehicle, ‘The Simple Life.’
“That was my mum’s idea. She just decided to call [the show's producers] because she’s attracted to interesting, different experiences,” Ke$ha tells PopEater. “They chose us because we’re the most eccentric family in all of Nashville.”
For her part, Ke$ha is unimpressed with the program. “We were hanging out at their house a little bit,” she says dismissively, recalling that the show included Hilton hooking up on a date. “It was with some guy. It’s all for TV, whatever. I went out two nights later to a gay bar and saw him dancing around topless with another man. That’s reality television for you.” Continue Reading »
Tik Tok singer Ke$ha has a wild side. She admits she once found her way inside Prince’s house – and got kicked out.
“I got his address, and snuck under the fence. I inevitably got in, and walked in on him having band practice. I left my CD for him and then got ousted.”
Now that Tik Tok is the #1 single and her debut album, Animal, is in stores, has she heard from him?
“Not yet,” she shrugs.
The high school dropout gets cagey about being a role model, but offers words of wisdom.
“There are certain things young girls can look to me as a role model for – I’m not saying everything,” she says. “I do think it’s an important thing that happiness and the amount of money you have are mixed. There’s absolutely no correlation, because the happiest times of my entire life have been when I didn’t have $2.”
Who’s her celebrity crush?
“Shakira is really hot,” the performer born Kesha Sebert says.
What about her real-life crush?
“No. Boys are too difficult. Who’s got the time?”
The Tennessee native gets creative when asked for her fashion inspiration.
“I am inspired to dress like African safari animals and/or Keith Richards,” she tells me.
Karli from the Block caught up with pop sensation Ke$ha at Jumbo’s Clown Room in Hollywood for her album release party. Ke$ha’s debut hit “Tik Tok” sold an impressive 610,000 copies making it the biggest selling single week of a song ever by a female artist. Watch the interview via YouTube below.
Like many musicians in Los Angeles, Ke$ha survived her lean early years by snacking on the free food offered during happy hour at myriad dive bars. But her situation was a little different. She was scavenging at the same time her voice was all over the radio — she sang the chorus hook of Flo Rida’s Right Round, one of the biggest pop singles of 2009.
“We were both working with (producer) Dr. Luke and it was an accident I was even on it,” said the young San Fernando Valley native, born Kesha Sebert, whose debut album, Animal, is out on Tuesday. “I never made any money off it, that’s why I put the dollar sign in my name as a joke. But I was happy being in that bar with two dollars in change wearing clothes I found in the garbage surrounded by people who love me.”
Ke$ha should soon be able to treat her friends to a few rounds of PBR. Her single TiK ToK, a rapturously dumb electro-pop banger was downloaded 610,000 times in its first week, the highest total for a female artist in one week since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking the figures.
Her album, Animal, which already is a top-5 iTunes album as a pre-order, tackles the evergreen topics of stalking boys who don’t like her and whether rad boots are preferable to male company. It’s all part of a master plan, she says — winning equal rights for women to abuse boys in songs the way dudes have done for decades.
“I’m just talking about men the way they’ve talked about women for years,” she said. “If you listen to LMFAO, it’s all about how women are pieces of meat. I find that stuff funny, so I want to do it back to them.”
Ke$ha may be a complicated woman, but the impression she leaves with her flurry of “babes,” jingly bracelets, and heavy-lidded I’ve-been-sexing-all-night eyes, can pretty much be summed up with a line from her song: “Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy.” A bold statement, but Ke$ha herself is far from timid.
Her image is that of a constantly tipsy, vaguely crazy, and sporadically talented rock star—and it seems to be working for the public. After appearing on Flo Rida’s fist-pump anthem “Right Round,” Ke$ha’s own hit single “Tik Tok” recently became both the most downloaded song by a female artist in history and Billboard’s first #1 single of 2010. With her debut album Animal dropping tomorrow (January 5), Ke$ha is definitely a woman to watch. We sat down for an interview and got her take on beards, hangover remedies and the sex appeal of quarters. It’s about to get weird…
Interview by Valeriya Safronova
#1: WHAT IS YOUR NUMBER ONE DEAL-BREAKER FOR A POTENTIAL BOYFRIEND?
Ke$ha says: Beard. It’s just really important. A man without a beard is no man, in my opinion. He has to have a beard.
Complex says: What about if it’s a goatee?
Ke$ha says: : Well it depends on the level of upkeep. Like if it’s a mustache with the curls, it’s negotiable. But definitely, facial hair is a must.
#2: WHAT TYPE OF FOOTWEAR WOULD COMPLETELY MAKE YOU DISMISS A MAN AS A POTENTIAL HOOK-UP?
Ke$ha says: Probably white tennis sneakers. They’re just really gross. They make my skin crawl.
#3: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RAP ALBUM?
Ke$ha says: Beastie Boys’ License to Ill. The president of my company compared my music to a combination of Madonna and the Beastie Boys. I grew up on the Beastie Boys and I’ll watch their videos and they’re just so funny, and they’re just having such a good time, it’s infectious.
Complex says: How do you feel about the Madonna comparison?
Ke$ha says: I’m down for that too. She’s a babe. She really paved the way.
#4: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD OR HANGOVER REMEDY?
Ke$ha says: Just start drinking again.
#5: WHAT’S THE MOST EFFECTIVE APHRODISIAC FOR YOU?
Ke$ha says: Like what makes me wanna do it? Aside from a great beard? This is really weird: quarters. Like a bucket full of quarters. If I feel a bucket full of quarters—I don’t know why, I think it’s like the pirate side of me—I wanna make out with dudes. It turns me on.
Complex says: How often do you put your hand in a bucket full of quarters?
Ke$ha says: Well, just because my ex-boyfriend had a laundry machine and when he took out his bucket of quarters, I was just like, “Whooo! Let’s do it!” So weird.
#6: WHO IS A CHILDHOOD CRUSH THAT YOU CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAD?
Ke$ha says: Well, see, my number one—still to this day—is David Spade, circa Joe Dirt. It’s really embarrassing, but I’m kind of proud…and I would still hit that.
#7: WHO IS YOUR FEMALE CRUSH?
Ke$ha says: Probably Kate Hudson in Almost Famous, those days. She’s a babe.
Up until a few weeks ago, Ke$ha’s (born Kesha Rose Sebert) biggest claim to fame was singing the hook on Flo Rida’s “Right Round.” Though the song was a huge hit, the spot was uncredited (many people thought it was Ke$ha’s buddy Katy Perry) and the 22-year-old singer remained relatively unknown.
But Ke$ha was merely biding her time until she released “Tik Tok,” the first single from her debut album Animal (out tomorrow). The song instantly raced up the charts (it currently sits at number one) and she spent the holidays breaking the record for the most downloads by a female artist (she stole the honor from Lady Gaga who achieved the same feat a year ago).
Ke$ha stopped by the Out offices a few weeks ago to chat with us about her meteoric rise to fame, her country-punk influences, her new album, and why being an Animal means doing exactly what — and who — you please, be it music or partying, boys or girls:
Newcomer Ke$ha takes her first solo chart single “TiK ToK” to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 (2-1), set to be released on Billboard.com Thursday (Dec. 24). Ke$ha is the first female vocalist to rise to No. 1 with her debut single since Lady Gaga stormed the list with “Just Dance” in January 2009.
“TiK ToK” is actually the second Hot 100 No. 1 to feature vocals by the 22-year-old. She had a non-credited appearance on Flo Rida’s six-week chart-topper “Right Round” earlier this year. “TiK ToK” is the first single from Ke$ha’s debut album, “Animal,” which is set for a Jan. 5 release.
“TiK ToK” also moves 2-1 on Digital Songs with 221,000 downloads (up 40,000) and is the Digital Gainer on the Hot 100. The song’s weekly total is the highest sum since Britney Spears’ “3″ posted 254,000 on the chart dated Oct. 24. “3″ remains in the Hot 100 top 10, falling 9-10 this week.
Ke$ha’s move to the top bumps “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys from its perch (1-2) after a five-week run. In a rare chart occurrence, an acoustic version of “Empire” by Keys debuts at No. 55. Most often, different takes of a song are merged with the original versions for the purpose of chart rankings, but in the instance where a contributing vocalist (Keys) takes the reigns without help from the lead act (Jay-Z), the songs are tracked separately.
When electro-pop party girl Ke$ha sang on Flo Rida’s number-one smash “Right Round” earlier this year, she “didn’t have enough money to buy a taco.” Things are looking much better for the L.A.-born, Tennessee-raised pop singer these days. Her debut solo single “TiK ToK”—which she co-wrote with Britney/Katy Perry vets Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco—is currently a top-five hit and one of the most recklessly fun dance songs of the year.
We talked to Ke$ha about her alleged foul mouth, her public display of “bladder desperation” at a recent awards show, and what caused her to spew (for real) in Paris Hilton’s closet.
EW: Kesha is your birth name, but I’m guessing the money sign isn’t on your birth certificate. Why did you throw it in?
K: I was on the Flo Rida song “Right Round,” and I was hearing it everywhere, just all over the place. It was number one in a bajillion countries and I didn’t have enough money to buy myself a taco. So I was talking to one of my friends about it and I was like, “What the hell!” I literally had two dollars to my name, and she was like, “Whatever, you don’t need money: You’re money.” And I was like, “Yeah! I’m money!” So it’s really just me taking the piss out of the fact that I was broke while being on a number-one record. It’s actually just being ironic about the whole money thing, because I actually stand for the opposite of putting a lot of emphasis on money.
EW: Would you mind being rich?
K: It’s not at all the reason I’m doing it. I wouldn’t mind it, because it just so happens that if I am a successful musician and I make good records, I might make some money, too, and that’s totally fine. And I love that I don’t have to wait tables, and I’m so appreciative for anything I do earn, but I don’t have to be greedy and gluttonous about the money I’m making.
EW: What inspired the Diddy reference ["Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy"] in “TiK ToK”?
K: I used to live in this sort-of castle in Laurel Canyon. I woke up one morning surrounded by all of my hot babe friends because they had all crashed after a night out. And I woke up surrounded by babes—it was a total babe-fest—and I thought, “This must be what Diddy feels like every morning.” That was the first line of the song, and I took it in and Dr. Luke liked it.
EW: And I hear your family was on The Simple Life?
K: Unfortunately, yes, that is true.
EW: And somehow you vomited in Paris Hilton’s closet?
K: Totally separate occasion, but yes, that did happen. They stayed in my house in Nashville when I was 17. Then fast forward six months, I’m out in LA, and I sing background vocals for her second single. And then that night we went to her house and we were all dancing, hanging out. Then I got overexcited and ralphed in her closet. I thought it was a bathroom… and it just so happened not to be a bathroom. It was a closet. Continue Reading »
THE hottest new pop star to emerge from the States since Lady Gaga risked a spell in jail because of a desperate bid to find fame.
Tik Tok singer Ke$ha, whose real name is Kesha Rose Sebert, broke into Prince’s home in the hope that he would listen to a demo of her songs.
Fortunately for her, the surprised Purple Rain star was so impressed by her determination that he didn’t only take the tape but also decided not to call the cops.
Ke$ha, 22, admitted: “I did actually crawl under a fence to get into Prince’s house.
“I paid the gardener five bucks to help me make it to the other side.
“Then I went waltzing up the purple driveway and found the door was unlocked.
“I got inside and totally freaked out, because there was Prince playing guitar in the other room.
“I called my mum and whispered, Ke$Animal ‘What do I do, I’m in Prince’s house?’
“She was like , ‘W hat do you mean?’ be “I said, ‘I snuck into his house.’
‘We all were hanging out and I was so intimidated … but he was the nicest guy,’ she tells MTV News.
Ke$ha is having a moment. She just got booked on the Lilith Fair, and her single “Tik Tok” is burning up the charts. She has already collaborated with Flo Rida and Miley Cyrus and sang background for Britney Spears, so it’s no wonder she ended up teaming with Diddy in the studio.
“Diddy ended up on ‘Tik Tok’ because one morning, I woke up surrounded by a bunch of hot babes, and I was like, ‘I’m like Diddy, man,’ ” she told MTV News. “Then I wrote the first line of ‘Tik Tok,’ which is ‘Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy.”
Ke$ha then made the next logical step and took it to her producer, Dr. Luke, who also worked with her and Flo Rida on the hit “Right Round”, and the rest is pop-music history. “As fate would have it, I swear to you, about four hours later, Diddy called Luke for the first time ever saying we should do a song together some time,” she explained.
Diddy surprisingly also had a little bit of time in his very busy schedule to drop by the studio almost immediately to contribute his lines to “Tik Tok.” In the song, he raps, “Hey, what up girl?” and “Let’s Go.”
“He agreed to come in that day. It was so bizarre, but as fate would have it, happened in the course of hours,” he said. “We all were hanging out and I was so intimidated … but he was the nicest guy.”
Everyone’s favorite hot mess, Ke$ha, stopped by the 92.3 NOW studios in NYC to chat it up with Lisa Paige for her 6 Questions in 60 Seconds feature. Check out what the two ladies talked about in the interview above.
Ke$ha has said that she doesn’t like the double standard faced by women in the music industry.
The popstar sings about what men would look like naked in her track ‘Boots And Boys‘ and claimed that no-one would notice if she was a man talking about women that way.
“People are shocked by it, but if I were Guns ‘N’ Roses or Van Halen, no-one would be surprised,” she told The Observer. “Or a rapper – look at all those songs on the radio that are, like, ‘Girl go up and down the pole‘. I mean, dance for me dudes!”
Ke$ha added that she is frustrated by the double standard but continued: “But it’s life. I understand I’m supposed to be feminine and dainty, but I’m not.
“There are two sides to the coin. People are more impressed with things that I do because they almost treat you as if you’re handicapped if you’re a woman… people can be impressed that I can play a few chords on the guitar.”
The ‘Tik Tok’ singer also praised her mother for giving her “a very strong sense of who and what I am“.
“My mum’s a badass,” she added. “She has balls. You need that in this industry, in this world, to stand up for what you believe in. She taught me that you don’t need anybody else to validate anything. She wanted a child, she had me, she didn’t want a man to tell her when and what to do.
“I think that’s badass. She’s a strong woman, a total hippie.”
Pop sensation Ke$ha has promised that her debut album will be a “cheeky” and “funny” affair.
The 22-year-old singer – real name Kesha Sebert – is currently in the UK and US top 10, as well as No.1 in Australia, with her debut single ‘TiK ToK’.
Discussing the song’s appeal, she told DS: “I hope that it’s just kind of fun and unapologetically rambunctious. I just want people to party to it.”
She also predicted that fans of the single will enjoy her debut album Animal, which is due in January.
“I wrote every song on it so it’s all totally true stories about my life. It gets pretty specific and it’s pretty funny. I think it’s cheeky. If you like ‘Tik ToK’, I think you’ll like the record,” she said.
Press ‘play‘ below to watch our full interview with Ke$ha:
How do you pronounce a name that is spelt with a dollar sign? I ask because I am about to meet Ke$ha, this year’s hottest pop poppet, a 22-year-old tousled blonde who is so volcanically trendy that she has already been compared with Madonna and the Beastie Boys despite not actually having released her UK debut single yet.
But who cares when she acts the part of wild-eyed rock star so effectively? Today, she is wearing tiny cut-off denim shorts. Her feet are bare, her thin brown arms weighed down by heavy metallic bracelets and her fingernails slicked with black polish. Her mascara is mussed-up and she speaks with a throatiness that hints at a life of parties on the tour bus. “I could drink a pirate under the table,” she admits. “But last night wasn’t that late. It was only, like, 2am.”
Ke$ha’s first album, Animal, out early next year, is filled with what one critic calls “turbo-charged attitudinal electro-shock”. People are already calling her the new Lady Gaga.
Yes, Ke$ha is cool; so hip, in fact, that she feels no need to be constrained by boringly conventional things like the alphabet. Is the dollar sign meant to be taken as an ironic comment on the greed of the music industry? I wonder. And did she remember to change it into sterling when she flew into London? “The dollar sign, to be honest, was me taking the piss out of being broke,” she says in the Tennessee twang of her native Nashville. Earlier this year, when Ke$ha (pronounced Keh-sha) was an aspiring singer-songwriter, scraping a living in Los Angeles by waitressing and writing songs for other artists, a producer suggested she provide vocals for the Flo Rida cover of “Right Round”.
The song became a worldwide hit, reaching No1 in five countries, but Ke$ha never saw a cent. “I would hear my voice everywhere – I’d walk into a movie and it would be playing. I’d walk into Walgreens, the grocery store, and it was playing, at a time when I didn’t even have enough money to buy my groceries in, like, the dollar store.
“My friends and I would go to this bar where if you bought one shot of tequila, you got free tacos. We were sitting there, my song was playing, and my friend said, ‘Whatever. You don’t have any money. This is as good as it’s going to get.’ And she was right. One of my favourite memories in my entire life is sitting in that crappy bar with my friends eating free tacos. There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money.” Continue Reading »
Kesha Sebert, the singer/songwriter better known as Ke$ha, is a class act.
She has a dollar sign tattoed on her hand, inked over the spot of skin where she licks salt before slamming tequila shots; she recounts being trapped in a hotel elevator that she says went haywire after she provoked “ghosts” by joking around; she rambles excitedly about the psychic powers of narwhales — “the unicorn of the sea;” and, she asks if it’s okay to use the ladies’ room during her phone interview.
Her naughty qualities are part of her charm, as her electro-pop single, “Tik Tok,” inspired by a night of epic partying, currently sits at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 6 on Hot Digital Songs. The track is a constant reminder of the morning after, when she opened her eyes to find herself “surrounded by these foxy babes,” thinking: “This is what P. Diddy must feel like,” she tells Billboard.
Before her recent success and bad girl antics, the 22-year-old Los Angeles native was eating free tacos, and, at one point, living out of a gold 1978 Trans Am. She scored her big break earlier this year as a featured vocalist on Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in February and became the motivation behind that dollar sign tattoo.
“I got it because I was being ironic. I didn’t make any money off the Flo Rida song — no one knew it was me,” she says nonchalantly. “Whatever. I’m money — I don’t need money. I think people can stand to take themselves just a little less seriously. I’m fighting the war against pretension.”
That same month, she signed a deal with RCA Records, and now, Ke$ha is prepping the early 2010 release of her debut album, tentatively titled “Animals.”
If Ke$ha is serious about anything, though, it’s self-motivation. Case in point: she once snuck into Prince’s house to ask him to produce her album. “If you visualize what you want and you go for it and you work your ass off, I think that you can realize your own realities,” she says.
It’s that same no-limitation attitude that supplies her with the stories for her upcoming set, which features production from Dr. Luke and as well as collaborations with Max Martin and Benny Blanco. “Every song on the record is totally about my life,” she says.
Ke$ha is currently touring, backed by a DJ, a bassist and a keytar player, and armed with a glitter cannon. “If you come to a live show, it’s a sensory assault,” she warns. “You will leave covered in sweat, beer, glitter, and, just maybe, you’ll get a special edition Ke$ha condom. If it breaks, you have to name you daughter or son after me.”
When I was first asked to do this, I got really excited. “What?! I get to speak to that one from the Sugababes (mark II)? OMG!”
Sadly it wasn’t Keisha, the feisty little number, but America’s latest “alternative” female pop star, Ke$ha (don’t you dare forget that dollar sign) who had just vaulted to the top of our very own top 4o hit-parade. For those of you who don’t know she’s a 22 year-old singer who prides herself on irreverent lyrics, messy blonde hair, ripped black leggings and Jack Daniels before breakfast. I rang her up to find out her top 5 metal bands, and chat about the time she broke into Prince’s house.
How are you Ke$ha?
Good. I’m in L.A. at this hotel, and they put me in the ‘Scarface’ room. The machine gun from the movie is on the wall. It’s kinda cool, really gross and cheap.
Is there fake blood on the walls?
Maybe. Probably.
So, what are your top five metal bands?
1. KISS because they put on a kick ass live show and don’t hold back on the face paint and fire.
2. Valient Thorr because Valient really knows how to command the audience.
3. Black Sabbath have the best fucking jams ever. PUT SOME SABBATH ON!
4. Guns n’ Roses because Slash is the epitome of fucking rock and roll
5. Last but not least, AC/DC for having the catchiest songs but still being so badass and punk. I actually met Robert Plant recently.
How was it?
Oh my god, I almost pissed my pants. I don’t know if there is a god, but there is a Robert Plant. He told me that I reminded him of one of the girls in The Runaways, and then we talked about Africa. Fucking amazing.
Tell me about breaking into Prince’s house
I did not break in
You did
Look, in life if you want something you just have to go and get it, and I wanted him to be on my record so I just thought, “Fuck it!” As I snuck in I got wedged under his fence. There was this guy gardening and he refused to pull me through so I said, “I’ll give you five dollars, don’t be a cunt”. Everything in Prince’s house was purple, and there were pictures of him everywhere. Continue Reading »
“Before I leave, I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack.” “The party don’t start until I walk in.” “Gonna smack him if he’s getting too drunk.” No, these aren’t excerpts from Kate Moss’s secret diary, but choice lines from Ke$ha’s debut single ‘TiK ToK‘. Intrigued by this brazen hussy of a pop starlet – who also sang on Flo Rida’s ‘Right Round’ earlier this year – we hooked up with her for a chat. Before you read on, a brief warning: Ke$ha shares her favourite word with Joan Rivers and she really isn’t afraid to use it.
How would you introduce Ke$ha to the uninitiated?
“I’m all about irreverence and youthfulness and playfulness and taking the p**s out of life. We’re in a recession and there are wars happening, so when it comes to music, I wanna give people something that brings them joy. There are artists who do more serious acoustic stuff, and I really admire them, but what I want to bring to the table is just f***ing fun. Just because I do pop doesn’t mean I’m a c**t, you know.”
How did you land your record deal?
“I was signed by an amazing producer called Dr Luke. I was just sitting at home one day and he and Max Martin called my house. I didn’t understand how amazing it was at that moment, but then I looked online and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is a big deal!’ They found out about me through a friend of a friend and signed me pretty quick.”
Did you get nervous heading into the studio with such proven hitmakers?
“I used to, but then I realised we’re all artists and we all get insecure. You’re never going to produce great music from a place of insecurity. You just have to go in there and lay your balls on the table and do whatever you can do to write a great song. It either happens or it doesn’t. Y’know, everybody writes sh***y songs sometimes.”
What’s the story behind ‘TiK ToK’?
“I think one of my biggest strengths is being able to tell my story in a way that’s unique from other artists. ‘TiK ToK’ is about how I woke up one morning surrounded by all these gorgeous women who I live with. I was like, ‘This must be what being P Diddy feels like’. That was the first line of the song, so I took it to Dr Luke and he said, ‘Well, what did you last night with all these beautiful chicks?’ ‘TiK ToK’ became the story of this one epic night out just tearing it down with my best friends.” Continue Reading »
