[Verse 1]
Here we go, welcome to my funeral
Without you, I don't even have a pulse
All alone, it's dark and cold
With every move, I die
Here I go, this is my confessional
A lost cause, nobody can save my soul
I am so delusional
With every move, I die

[Pre-Chorus]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick, it's all my fault

[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die

[Verse 2]
When did I become such a hypocrite?
Double life, lies that you caught me in
Trust me, I'm paying for it
With every move, I die
On the floor, I'm just a zombie
Who I am is not who I wanna be
I'm such a tragedy
With every move, I die

[Pre-Chorus]
I have destroyed our love, it's gone
Payback is sick, it's all my fault

[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die

[Bridge]
(Oh)
This is it and now you're really gone this time (Oh)
Never once thought I'd be in pieces, left behind

[Chorus]
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
Just fighting to get through the night
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die
I'm faded, I'm broken inside
I've wasted the love of my life
I'm losin' it (Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it)
With every move, I die

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.
