Top 10 Best Songs by Kesha

Her absolute artistic masterpiece and one of the most spine-tingling ballads of the 21st century. After years of legal battles and trauma, Kesha sings about redemption and forgiveness, culminating in a legendary high note that blows away a decade of pain in one go; pure, unadulterated triumph.

The historic debut single that made her a world star and set the tone for pop culture at the turn of the decade ('Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy'). With her nonchalant talk-singing and unstoppable synthesizers, it became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time.

A euphoric ode to living in the moment as if it's your last night on earth. The acoustic guitar loop that flows into a pumping dance-pop beat made this one of the biggest radio hits of 2012, with a chorus that sticks in your memory.

A colossal global party anthem in which a rousing country harmonica and rap blend seamlessly with dance pop. Kesha delivers the indestructible chorus that got stadiums and festival fields moving all over the world.

An exuberant funk-rock explosion from her comeback album Rainbow. Backed by the blazing horns of The Dap-Kings, Kesha laughs out her joy and proudly claims her independence in one of the most liberating choruses of her career.

Written as a powerful empowerment anthem in response to a wave of suicides among bullied LGBTQ+ youth. Kesha combines a heavy club beat with a proud message of self-acceptance: be proud of who you are, glitter, scars and all.

A hard-hitting dance floor stomper where electropop meets heavy rock beats. The chorus explodes with aggressive energy designed to blow out the speakers, accompanied by a famously campy music video with unicorns.

A catchy pop song comparing infatuation to an all-consuming addiction. With sparkling synthesizers, spoken lines full of humor and a huge singalong chorus, it's one of the absolute highlights of her debut album Animal.

The title track of her 2010 EP, which enjoyed a huge second life years later thanks to TikTok. Kesha flips the roles of predator and prey with a brutal, Auto-Tune-drenched hook in which she mockingly sings that she devours boys for breakfast.

Pure party fun from her early electropop glory days. Driven by a rousing melody based on a classic snake-charmer tune, Kesha celebrates a wild night in an imaginary club full of freaks and misfits.
