[Intro]
Hey! Uh-huh
Hey! Ya-huh
Hey! It's Kesha
Let's do it

[Verse 1]
The lights are off, it's time to play
Got work to do, but that can wait
I wanna let go, let everyone know
That, fuck it, I don't care
Been spendin' too much energy
On stupid shit when honestly
I wanna get high, just wanna get high
With everyone else here

[Chorus]
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life

[Verse 2]
We're made of stars, we're up in space
Now, in the dark, come kiss my face
We're swimmin' in gold, we're swimmin' in gold
Like fuck it, we don't care
Yeah, this just got sick before my eyes
Gon' stay up here 'til the end of time
I feel so alive (Feel so alive), I'm losin' my mind (Losin' my mind)
Like everyone else here

[Chorus]
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life (Oh), yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life (Yeah), yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life (Yeah, uh!)

[Post-Chorus]
It's rainin' down, been up all night
There's no excuses, we kiss the sky
Don't wanna come down, don't wanna come down
Is anyone out there?
Baby, all that matters

[Bridge]
Put your motherfuckin' phones up
Light 'em up, oh yeah
Put your motherfuckin' phones up
Light 'em up

[Chorus]
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life (Oh), yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life (Whoa), yeah, is the beautiful life (Yeah)
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life
Baby, all that matters is the beautiful life
Yeah, is the beautiful life, yeah, is the beautiful life

[Outro]
Baby, all that matters

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.
