[Verse 1: Ke\$ha]
I could dream of ways to see you
I could close my eyes to dream
I could fantasize about you
But just do one thing for me
'Cause whenever I'm not with you
All I need is just to see
So just send a picture of you
A special picture just for me, yeah

[Chorus: Ke\$ha & Taio Cruz]
So take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Just take a dirty picture for me
Take a dirty picture
Just send a dirty picture to me
Send a dirty picture
Just send a dirty picture to me
Send a dirty picture
Picture, picture, picture, picture, picture

[Post-Chorus: Taio Cruz]

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.
