And this is where y'all lose what little respect you for some reason or another still have for me. But this has to happen. I honest to goodness wish it didn't, but it does. 'Cause when you school in New Hampshire and consequently end up DJing at fraternity parties and sorority formals two or three times a week, sometimes you've gotta play a little Ke$ha. And as much as I'd like to tell y'all that I hate it, y'all know I'm 100% down with the snippets that sound like Uffie. (Guess that's another credibility killer, but so it goes. Don't ever try to make me renounce my love for Lady Uff.) So in conclusion, this track kills it. Try playing this to a bunch of girls in their late teens and early 20s. Huge. Glad to get that off my chest. Thanks for understanding.
P.S. New Uffie material. I need it. Like really, really need it. I remember getting a MySpace message from her in mid-2008 telling me that an album was gonna drop by that Christmas. Sadly, no. Please Uffie, hook it up!
EDIT: Download the track for free here.

I have a feeling Ke$ha's music is about to seriously blow up - she reminds me a bit of this summer's Gaga, only without the penis.
Agreed on the Uffster front, I've been waiting impatiently for some new material since Steroids. Apparently she was filming a video for Pop the Glock this summer but no news since then.
HONESTLY I NEEEEEED MORE UFFIE.....
I FEEL LIKE UFFIE's finished material would sound very similar to this. she shouldnt let someone else just jack her style :(
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER since steroids. IS SHE EVEN WORKING ON ANYTHING!?!
According to Last.fm, she's got quite a few tracks out but thusfar its been near impossible to locate them on the internet. TikTok is the only one I can find.
i agree. she totally ripped UFFIE off..it seems like it should be illegal or something
When I first heard a Ke$ha song on the radio I was so psyched cause I thought Uffie was getting mainstream radio play in the states. As the song progressed I started to feel a little disgusted at how the song was playing out. I thought, “Is Uffie selling out to get the time of day”. Bottom line, Ke$ha songs are disco cheese but imitation is the best form of flattery.
Uffie should be getting more credit for the sound, but Kesha has better production and marketing.
To me, attempts to compare Uffie and Kesha are ridiculous, since Kesha is a substantially better musician than Uffie. Here’s why: her voice and songwriting is better, she’s more versatile, and she has a much better sense of humor.
Kesha has written (yes, herself) over a hundred songs of a wide variety of genres over many years, has recorded and released many of them into the public domain. They’re on a wide variety of topics, mostly banal and occasionally profound, but always humorous and self-deprecating. Uffie has also written songs over many years, but they’re far fewer, and are weak and lyrically often clichee. She sings about one thing: about how much of a bad-ass Lolita chick she is. Moreover, Feadz does all the musical work, whereas Kesha actually *writes* *music.*
Kesha has sung on all of her songs, in many different styles, from punk to country — without the use of Autotune, but with extensive use of a vocoder, for effect only. Kesha’s voice has tremendous range. Uffie, on the other hand, chants in one singular, nonvariable style only. Whereas Kesha presents a wide range of expressions, Uffie has only one presentation: bad-ass Lolita. However, Uffie also does make use of a vocoder from time to time.
Kesha doesn’t take herself seriously. You can tell as much from her music and she’s even said so herself. She says that “there’s a pop-song in every situation,” and from this it’s plain to see that she writes music for fun. She could’ve done much more with her life, having had near-perfect SAT scores and an admission to Columbia, but, as she’s said she’s chosen to do the one thing she’s wanted to do since she was little. Uffie, on the other hand, seems to take herself much more seriously. In fact, there’s no humor in her music.
Without her sheer-sexy-Lolita-hotness and without Feadz, where would Uffie be? Kesha, on the other hand, would probably be where she is now, no matter what her circumstances were.
Kesha wins.
