Singers, songwriters and producers Taio Cruz, Alex da Kid, Sean Garrett, Ne-Yo, Rico Love, Timbaland, Shontelle, David Guetta, and Drake worked on the album. "I'm gonna miss the Rated R era too, but nothing compares to the album I just made," Rihanna said, adding, "I made sure not to let you down with my music. You guys are always defending me, so now you’ve got some great songs to justify it. I didn’t want to go backward and remake Good Girl Gone Bad. I wanted the next step in the evolution of Rihanna, and it’s perfect for us". In early September 2010, she announced that the album would be called, Loud saying that "get Loud everybody, get crazy, get excited, because I'm pumped. I'm just gonna be me, because that's what you guys love the most, and that's what makes me feel best. Just being normal, normal for me is Loud! Sassy, fun, flirty, energetic." While Rihanna was on set filming for the movie Battleship, she explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "Loud is, the word, the name of the album definitely reflects the attitude of it, it’s really sassy and flirty and it grabs your attention and that’s why I enjoy it. It takes you through a really really interesting ride. So colorful the album.” The artwork of the album was revealed on September 28, 2010.

Ke$ha首张专辑《Animal》正式发行！现今乐坛显然是电子乐大行其道的地方，Lady Gaga大红大紫，众多大牌歌手乐队都在专辑中大量使用电子元素，电子乐新星的势力也同样不可小窥——22岁的Ke$ha凭借与Flo Rida合作的冠军单曲《Right Round》被人们熟知后，她的首支单曲《TiK ToK》在澳大利亚登上了排行榜冠军。
Tik Tok的制作人之一是Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald)，他正是Katy Perry ” I Kissed a Girl “的背后推手，也操刀过Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson等人的专辑，很辉煌，无法一一叙述就是了。另外，参与Tik Tok创作的除了Dr. Luke和Ke$ha本人，还有Benny Blanco，他相当年轻(1988年生)，比Ke$ha还小一岁，不过从跟着Dr. Luke开始，他已经参与过Katy Perry、Britney Spears、Flo Rida、Lady Sovereign等人的专辑制作。
Ke$ha本名Kesha Sebert ，出生于美国洛杉矶，后来大概在她4岁大时，一家人搬到田纳西州的Nashville，她在那里度过童年和青少年时光，17岁决定往音乐发展后，她自己一个人才又搬回到洛杉矶。 Ke$ha来自单亲家庭，妈妈Pebe Sebert在’70年代末也是创作歌手，小Kesha还是个婴儿时，妈妈在舞台上表演，她就被放在后台或吉他盒里，妈妈进录音室，她也被带着去，她长大后会当艺人，其实从小就有耳濡目染，母亲也常称赞她有很好的声音，鼓励她唱歌。 但是你一开始不会想到的是，因为母亲的关系，Kesha Sebert从小是在乡村长大的，她认为乡村歌曲对她的最大影响是强调歌曲的故事性，每首歌都有着故事，而Ke$ha喜欢透过音乐说她的故事。
