Kesha is celebrating 15 years of her debut single, “TiK ToK,” with plans for a permanent change to the lyric about rapper Diddy amid his sexual abuse and sex trafficking lawsuits.
The singer-songwriter, 37, took to X on Wednesday, August 7, to reflect on the song and how far she’s come since its release in 2009.
“TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!! 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, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to,” she wrote. “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.”
