Song |
"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. Lyrically, the song speaks of attending a party one night and coming home half-drunk.
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 has achieved commercial success by topping the charts in eleven countries including the United States. It scored the biggest single-week sum of all time for a female artist selling 610,000 digital downloads in one week. As of June 2010 the single had sold 4.9 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 wanting to be told. The opening line came from a 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,
I just really wanted to embody the lifestyle that I live, [...] We're 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 "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." He elaborates, saying "[t]he L'Trimm influence on the song is obvious as Kesha borrows Lady Tigra and Bunny D's slurred cadence and airy persona."[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 quoting "The song sets up ship on the fault line between charmingly daft and deeply irritating." He then continued, making comparisons regarding other artists stating "The rapped verses are sub-Fergie-grade, proudly stuffed with groaners and to-hell-with-the-expiration-date slang." Weiner commented that the plotline plays a sequel to "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga: "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." He postulated 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 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 June 2010, "Tik Tok" had logged a total of 4.9 million downloads in the country alone.[29]
Music video
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 picture lining the wall. Kesha makes her way to the kitchen, walking in on the 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 that is walking down the street and looking at her, 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 convertible with the handcuffs hanging from one of her arms as she dangles it in front of the camera. The next scene showcases 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 car used in the video belonged to Kesha and the video was shot in Kesha's 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 immortalized 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] Kesha also performed the song at the 2009 Z100 Jingle Ball held on December 11 in Madison Square Garden.[1] She 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.[40][41][42]
