[Verse 1]
I know I’m not perfect
I know I got issues
I know that I’ve got a sordid past
And, yeah, some bad tattoos
I’m not a model
I’m not a saint
I’m sorry but I am just not sorry
‘Cause I swear and cause I drink

[Chorus]
Maybe it’s about the time
To let all of the love back in the light
Maybe it’s about the perfect place
To let go and forget about the hate
Love into the light

[Verse 2]
I know we’re all different
Baby, that’s life
But all of these differences
They make me feel alive
And I’ve got this question, yeah
Been burning through my head
Can’t we all get over ourselves
And just stop talking shit?

[Chorus]
Maybe it’s about the time
To let all of the love back in the light
Maybe it’s about the perfect place
To let go and forget about the hate
Love into the light

[Refrain]
All of the shit talk, yeah, all the chatter
Cuts like a knife, yeah, kills like a dagger
Love into the light
All that I have, yeah, all that I’m after
Love in this life, it’s what really matters
Love into the light

[Chorus]
Maybe it’s about the time
To let all of the love back in the light
Maybe it’s about the perfect place
To let go and forget about the hate
Love into the light

[Refrain]
All of the shit talk, yeah, all the chatter
Cuts like a knife, yeah, kills like a dagger
Love into the light
All that I have, yeah, all that I’m after
Love in this life, it’s what really matters
Love into the light

[Outro]
Love into the light
Love into the light
Love into the light

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.
