Jakarta (ANTARA) - Kesha Sebert atau yang dikenal dengan mononim Kesha merilis lagu "TiK ToK" pada 2009 sebagai single utama dari album perdananya "Animal".

"TiK ToK" bercerita tentang momen-momen seseorang mengalami kesenangan yang berlebihan. Bait pertama lirik lagu "TiK ToK" menyebutkan nama panggung penyanyi rap Amerika Serikat Sean Combs yang saat itu dikenal sebagai "P Diddy" dalam konteks menunjukkan keadaan bersemangat dan percaya diri saat bangun tidur di pagi hari.

Diddy menyanyikan"Hey, what up girl?" dan "Let's Go" pada bait pertama "TiK ToK".

Kesha menulis lagu "TiK ToK" bersama produser musik Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke) dan Benjamin Joseph Levin (Benny Blanco).

Sejak kasus pelecehan seksual Diddy, Kesha beberapa kali mengubah bait pertama yang berisi "like P Diddy", antara lain menjadi "just like me" saat tampil di Los Angeles, Amerika Serikat, pada November 2023.

Lirik lagu Kesha "TiK ToK"

[Verse 1: Kesha dan P Diddy]
Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P. Diddy (Hey, what up, girl?)
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

[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
I'm talkin' pedicure on our toes, toes Tryin' on all our clothes, clothes

Boys blowin' up our phones, phones

Drop-toppin', playin' our favorite CDs

Pullin' up to the parties

Tryna get a little bit tipsy

[Chorus: Kesha]​​​​​​​
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

[Verse 2: Kesha]
Ain't got a 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
​​​​​​​
[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
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 (Dow—)

[Chorus: Kesha]
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, woah, woah, oh (Oh)
Oh, woah, woah, 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, woah, woah, oh (Oh)
Oh, woah, woah, oh

[Bridge: Kesha]
(DJ) You build me up, 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 (Oh, oh, oh)

(DJ) You build me up, you break me down

My heart, it pounds, yeah, you got me (Oh, oh, oh)

With my hands up, put your hands up, put your hands up

Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in

[Chorus: Kesha]

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, woah, woah, oh (Oh)

Oh, woah, woah, 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, woah, woah, oh (Oh)

Oh, woah, woah, oh
