Ya’ll remember Kesha, right? The Hip Hop turned pop artist is celebrating the 15th anniversary of her breakout single “TiK ToK.” If you recall that song mentioned Diddy… Now she’s re-recording the song with a notable change to the most famous lyric that invoke’s that aforementioned name.
The 37-year-old singer shared her brow raising plans on X (yes, yes, formerly Twitter) and added some reflection on the cultural impact the song:
“‘TiK ToK’ was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!!” Kesha wrote. “I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel… What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all.”
Kesha has altered the original lyric “wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy” to “wake up in the morning like f**k P. Diddy.”
Kesha went on: “15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time. That girl was naive and wild and playful… The world has changed so much and so have I.”
Get this, she first debuted the new lyrics in April during a surprise appearance at Coachella with singer Reneé Rapp, who she credits for inspiring the change. Okay, flowers to Rapp.
Kesha described the reimagined as “fiercely protecting my fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others,” and encouraged her fans to reconnect with their inner “wild child-like joy.”
ICYMI, the lyric change was first introduced publicly during her November 2023 performance on her Only Love Tour in Los Angeles, where she sang, “Wake up in the morning feeling just like me,” a subtle nod to distancing herself from Combs amid his ongoing legal controversies.
Taking control of her own music. Good for her.
