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。

"Take It Off" is a song by American recording artist and songwriter Kesha, from her debut album, Animal. The song was written by Kesha, Lukasz Gottwald and Claude Kelly and it was produced by Dr. Luke with vocal editing done by Emily Wright. It was released as the fourth official single from the album on July 13, 2010. "Take It Off"'s initial writing consisted of Kesha attending a drag show and becoming really turned on by transvestite men taking their clothing off. The song is an upbeat dancepop song that uses heavy amounts of auto tune and utilizes an electro infused beat.
Critical reception of the song has been mixed. A complaint amongst critics was the demonstration of overly processed vocals with the use of auto-tune. Other critics felt the song was a strong, irresistible dance pop song strictly made for the dance floor with a great carefree message. Due to strong digital sales from the release of Animal, the song charted in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada before being announced as a single. Since being released as a single the song has reached the top twenty in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
The music video for the single was released on August 3, 2010. The video features Kesha and her friends on another planet dancing around in a mosh pit while slowly turning into star dust as they "Take It Off". Kesha explained in an interview that the main idea behind the video was about taking off your inhibitions and being "raw and real." On August 13, 2010 Kesha performed "Take It Off" along side earlier singles "Your Love Is My Drug" and "Tik Tok" on NBC's Today Show.
