[Chorus]
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone, yeah
But while you're here in my arms
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young

[Verse 1]
Hearts, out our minds
Running 'til we outta time
Wild childs, looking good
Living hard just like we should
Don't care who's watching when we tearing it up
That magic that we got, nobody can touch

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives
We'll keep dancing 'til we die

[Chorus]
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone, yeah
While you're here in my arms
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young, yeah
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young

[Verse 2]
Hunks taking shots
Stripping down to dirty socks
Music up, getting hot
Kiss me, give me all you've got
It's pretty obvious that you got a crush
That magic in yo' pants, it's making me blush

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives
We'll keep dancing 'til we die

[Chorus]
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone, yeah
While you're here in my arms
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young, yeah
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young, yeah

[Outro]
We're gonna die
Let's make the most of the night, like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young

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.
