[Intro]
Haha
Dance

[Verse 1]
Back door cracked, we don't need a key
We get in for free
No VIP sleaze
Drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead
Now you're one of us
You're comin' with me

[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to kill the lights and
Shut the DJ down (This place about to—)
Tonight, we're takin' over
No one's getting out

[Chorus]
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to—

[Verse 2]
Now what? (What?) We're taking control
We get what we want
We do what you don't
Dirt and glitter cover the floor
We're pretty and sick
We're young and we're bored (Ha!)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to lose your mind and
Let the crazy out (This place about to—)
Tonight, we're takin' names 'cause
We don't mess around

[Chorus]
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to—

[Bridge]
Go-go-go-go insane, go insane
Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em
Let me see them Hands
Let me, let me see them Hands
Go insane, go insane
Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em
Let me see them Hands
Let me, let me see them Hands (C'mon!)
We're taking over (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Get used to it, okay?
(Blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This place about to—

Kesha

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.
