[Verse 1]
I remember the night we first met
We were so young, I can’t forget
How you kissed my face (Whoa)
And you took me home (Whoa)
I remember the life years ago
The air mattress on the floor
That was before (Whoa)
A life took control

[Chorus]
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
Promise me you won’t cry
This is our last goodbye

[Verse 2]
When I was lost, I found you
When I was broke, you bought me shoes
You were my first (Whoa)
And dammit, this hurts (Whoa)
Now you’ve got a girl, someone new
And I can’t pretend to just be cool
I can’t be your friend (Whoa)
So this is the end

[Chorus]
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds (We lost our minds)
When we fell in love that night
Promise me you won’t cry
This is our last goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Promise me you won’t cry
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

[Chorus]
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds (We lost our minds)
When we fell in love that night (Love that night)
Promise me you won’t cry (No)
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Promise me you won’t cry
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

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.
