Kesha Wants Your ‘Attention’ On Her Latest Single

On July 4 last year, Kesha declared her independence with “Joyride,” her first release through her newly founded Kesha Records label and the lead single to her first album as an independent artist. That album, Period, is set for release this July 4, and the hit-making singer has been tiding fans over in the meantime with the singles “Delusional,” “Yippee-Ki-Yay,” and “Boy Crazy.”

With just a few weeks until her new album’s release, Kesha is calling her fans to “Attention” with a new Slayyyter and Rose Gray collaboration. Though “Attention” doesn’t appear on the tracklist for the forthcoming album, it’s likely fans will hear it on the upcoming Tits Out Tour, as both artists will be accompanying Kesha as opening acts on different legs.

“Love it, hate it, leave it, take it / Click on the link to see me naked / If you want it, gotta chase it / When you ‘uh’ me, you can say you made it,” Kesha sings on the upbeat track. “Tits out, ridin’ with the windows down / They’re playin’ me on the radio right now / My name comin’ out of all of y’all’s mouths / Is it even a question? Do I have your attention?”

When speaking with Forbes.com last year about her creative process and its place in her life, Kesha said that writing and recording new music has become a form of therapy.

“If you feel rage, people can go bash a window of a car, but for me, if I feel rage, I take it to the studio and I currently surround myself with incredibly safe people that help me take my emotion and we alchemize it into song. So, it’s become the way I process life and the beautiful part of writing music or making any art of any kind is that you get to process something in, hopefully, a safe way,” she said. “Once it has come out of your body and onto the page or into the microphone, if you choose to share it, that healing that you experience, then can possibly help to heal other people.”

Period is out July 4. The Tits Out Tour kicks off July 1 in Salt Lake City and wraps up March 21 in Dublin.
