"Tik Tok" (styled as "TiK ToK") is the debut single by American recording artist Kesha. The song was produced by Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke and co-written by Blanco, Dr. Luke and Kesha. It was released on August 7, 2009 as the lead single from Kesha's debut studio album, Animal. The initial writing of the song consisted of Kesha coming home half-drunk and stumbling after a night out partying. Kesha would usually write down a few words of a song, then the next morning, she would wake up with the story waiting to be told. The song's opening line came from an experience in which Kesha woke up one morning where she was surrounded by "beautiful women", the experience made her think of Diddy being in a similar scenario. Lyrically, the song speaks about not letting anything bring you down.

The song received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised the lyrics and celebration of party lifestyle, others have criticized the song for sounding "irritating", and being too similar to other tracks performed by the likes of Lady Gaga, and Uffie. It achieved commercial success by topping the charts in eleven countries. The song performed best in the United States where it scored the biggest single-week sum of all time for a female artist selling 610,000 digital downloads in one week. As of July 2010 the single has sold 5 million downloads in the United States alone.

Writing and inspiration

"Tik Tok" was co-written by Kesha, Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco and was co-produced by Luke and Blanco. The song took three takes to get right as Kesha jokingly "white-girl rapped" over the beat.[1] At one point, she had wanted to rewrite the verses of the song because she did not think they were funny or clever.[2]

Kesha said the inspiration behind the song came from coming home half-drunk and stumbling after a night out of partying. She would usually write down a few words of a song, then the next morning, she would wake up with the story waiting to be told. The opening line came from an experience where she woke up surrounded by "beautiful women", to which she imagined Diddy being in a similar scenario.[3] Kesha further described the theme of the song in an interview, emphasizing that it embodied her own lifestyle,

We're [Kesha and her friends] all young and broke and it doesn't matter. We can find clothes on the side of the street and go out and look fantastic, and kill it. If we don't have a car that doesn't stop us, because we'll take the bus. If we can't afford drinks, we'll bring a bottle in our purse. It's just about not letting anything bring you down.[3]

Composition

"Tik Tok" is an upbeat dance-pop/electropop song. It utilizes a minimalist "video-game beat"[4] interspersed with handclaps[5] and synths.[6] The songs chorus uses rapped verses, enhanced by Auto-Tune in some places and features a line by Diddy.[1] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, the song is set in common time with a moderate beat rate of 120 beats per minute. The song is written in the key of D Minor. Kesha's vocal range in the song spans from the note of D3 to the note of D5.[7]

Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews. Kelsey Paine of Billboard called the song "a love letter to DJs everywhere, with hand claps that build to a crescendo of pure, infectious dance-pop."[5] Jim Farber of the New York Daily News called the song "a vintage lick of dance candy too tooth-rottingly sweet to resist."[8] Fraser McAlpine of the BBC noted its similarities to Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and their partying subject matter, but concedes that "[s]he does make it sound kinda fun though."[9] Billy Johnson, Jr. of Yahoo compared "Tik Tok" to the 1980s L'Trimm hit, "Cars that Go Boom" and notes that Kesha has "take[n] on L'Trimm's vocal styling for her own hit."[10] Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars, he spoke of the song giving Kesha a "hussy image", describing the lyrics as great, the use of auto-tune as fun and calling Dr. Luke's backing track as "bouncy, bubblegummy and electro".[11]

Jonah Weiner of Slate Magazine gave the song a negative review saying that "[t]he song sets up ship on the fault line between charmingly daft and deeply irritating." He then compared the song to work by other artists, stating that "[th]e rapped verses [were] sub-Fergie-grade, proudly stuffed with groaners and to-hell-with-the-expiration-date slang." Weiner echoed the sentiment that the plotline play[ed] as a sequel to "Just Dance": "girl wakes up drunk, stays drunk, finds a dance floor and (spoiler alert) gets even drunker."[12] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described the song as "a zippy and salacious celebration of late nights and mornings-after." He noted that "[s]ome have compared Kesha, unfavorably, to Uffie, who is signed to the influential French electronic music label Ed Banger and whose sass-rap predated Kesha’s by a couple of years." However, he thought that "if anyone should feel fleeced by "Tik Tok", though, it’s Lady Gaga, who probably hears significant chunks of her hit "Just Dance" in its melody and subject matter."[1]

Chart performance

"Tik Tok" made its chart debut on the official New Zealand Singles Chart at number seven on the issue dated October 5, 2009.[13] The following week, it moved up to number one.[14] It held the top spot for a total of five consecutive weeks.[15] The song made its first ever chart appearance in Canada, where the song debuted at number sixty-seven on the Canadian Hot 100.[16] It ascended to number one seven weeks after its debut, where it stayed for nine non-consecutive weeks.[16] The song also charted in Australia where it debuted on the ARIA Charts at number twenty-eight, and reached number one on its third week on the chart.[17] In Europe, the song debuted at number thirty-eight in Sweden on the issue dated October 23, 2009, and managed to peak at number three.[18] The song debuted at thirty-nine in Denmark and peaked at number three.[19] In Norway, the song debuted at number eleven and peaked at number three.[20] The song also charted in both the Dutch- and French-speaking regions of Belgium, peaking at number four and one respectively.[21][22] In Finland, the song debuted at number sixteen and peaked at number two.[23] It debuted on the official UK Singles Chart at number six on November 8, 2009, and over a period of just under three months climbed to a peak of number four on January 3, 2010, based on downloads alone.[24] It has sold a total of 442,287 copies in the UK as of February 2010.[25]

On the week ending October 24, 2009, "Tik Tok" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number seventy-nine.[26] It topped the charts on the week issued January 2, 2010, becoming the first number one of the new decade,[27] and topped the chart for nine consecutive weeks, the most for any single of the decade to date. This became the first number one solo single by the artist, and second overall after appearing on "Right Round" with Flo Rida earlier in 2009, although she was not officially credited. On the week ending December 27, 2009, "Tik Tok" broke the record in the United States for the highest single week sales, selling 610,000 digital downloads, the highest ever by a female artist since tracking began in 2003 and second highest overall, behind "Right Round".[28] As of August 2010, "Tik Tok" had logged a total of 5,078,000 downloads in the country alone.[29], making it the seventh best-selling song in digital history.

Music video

Kesha in the music video for "TiK ToK". She is standing in a gold 1978 Trans Am driven by Simon Rex.

The music video was directed by Syndrome[30] and begins with Kesha awaking from a bathtub in a home as she stumbles out and begins to look for a toothbrush in the restroom. She makes her way down a staircase looking at the pictures lining the wall. Kesha makes her way to the kitchen, walking in on a family having breakfast startling them. She shrugs and then leaves the home as the family gets up and follows her. When she arrives at the sidewalk, she picks up a gold bicycle lying against a fallen fence and rides off. Kesha meets a group of children where she trades the bicycle for their boombox. The video cuts to another scene where she rejects a guy and is picked up by a man portrayed by Simon Rex[31] who drives her in a gold 1978 Trans Am. They are pulled over by the police, who handcuff Kesha. The scene then pans to her singing while standing in the T-top as she dangles the handcuffs hanging from one of her arms. The next scene shows Kesha in an empty room filled with glitter. She then attends a party with Rex for the final scene. The video comes to an end with Kesha lying in a different bathtub from the one she woke up in.[30] The gold Trans Am used in the video belonged to Kesha and the video was shot in her old neighborhood. The final party scene was shot at one of her friend's house they called "The Drunk Tank".[32]

Promotion and live performances

"Tik Tok" was used to promote season six of Project Runway and was featured in the 2009 reboot of Melrose Place.[33] The song has also been featured on The Hills[34] , Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,[35] The Bounty Hunter. "Tik Tok" was used in the opening sequence for The Simpsons episode "To Surveil With Love", in which the entire cast lip-synced to the song.[36][37]

To promote the single, Kesha made several television appearances and performances across the world. The first televised performance of the song was on a part of MTV Push, a program broadcast on MTV Networks worldwide.[38][39] She performed "Tik Tok" at the Echo awards in Germany and on MuchOnDemand in Canada.[40][41] She also performed the song in a set for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend.[42] On May 29, 2010, Kesha performed "Tik Tok" alongside "Your Love Is My Drug" at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan.[43]

Kesha has also made appearances on the It's On with Alexa Chung, The Wendy Williams Show, Lopez Tonight, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform the song.[44][45][46] This song was also performed on Saturday Night Live on April 17, 2010.[47] On August 13, 2010 Kesha performed "Tik Tok" on Today.[48]

Cultural impact

The song was parodied by British comedy group The Midnight Beast. The parody discusses youthful subjects such as attempting to view the nude bodies of women and dodging parents' anger.[49] After Kesha discovered the parody, she left a message on her Twitter account: "Holy. S++t. [sic] This is better than my version."[49] Released to iTunes on January 15, 2010,[50] the song peaked at number four on the Australian Singles Chart, and at thirty-nine on the Irish Singles Chart.[51][52]

A second parody came about when Israel Defense Forces soldiers created IDF Tick Tock in 2010, a viral dance video that opens with six infantry soldiers on patrol in Hebron, walking cautiously down a deserted street, armed and wearing full combat gear,[53][54][55][56] when suddenly Tik Tok music breaks in, and the soldiers break into choreographed dance moves.[57][58][59][60][61][62]
