[Intro]
Hard, hard, hard, hard...
Tonight we’re going hard...
We are who we are
We’re dancing like we’re dumb...

[Chorus]
Tonight we’re going hard
Just like the world is ours
We’re tearing it apart
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are
We’re dancing like we’re dumb
Our bodies go numb
We’ll be forever young
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are

[Verse 1]
Hot and dangerous
If you’re one of us, then roll with us
'Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
When we’ve got our hot-pants on and up
And yes, of course we does
We’re running this town just like a club
And no, you don’t wanna mess with us
Got Jesus on my necklace

[Pre-Chorus]
Got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexy-fied
So let’s go, oh-oh
Let’s go!

[Chorus]
Tonight we’re going hard
Just like the world is ours
We’re tearing it apart
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are
We’re dancing like we’re dumb
Our bodies go numb
We’ll be forever young
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are

[Verse 2]
DJ, turn it up
It’s about damn time to live it up
I’m so sick of being so serious
It’s making my brain delirious
I’m just talking truth
I’m telling you ’bout the shit we do
We’re selling our clothes, sleeping in cars
Dressing it down, hitting on dudes
Hard

[Pre-Chorus]
Got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexy-fied
So let’s go, oh-oh
Let’s go!

[Chorus]
Tonight we’re going hard
Just like the world is ours
We’re tearing it apart
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are
We’re dancing like we’re dumb
Our bodies go numb
We’ll be forever young
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are

[Breakdown]
DJ, turn it up
DJ, turn it up
DJ, turn it up
DJ, turn it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexy-fied
So let’s go, oh-oh
Let’s go!

[Chorus]
Tonight we’re going hard
Just like the world is ours
We’re tearing it apart
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are
We’re dancing like we’re dumb
Our bodies go numb
We’ll be forever young
You know we’re superstars
We are who we are

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
