"Kinky" is a song by Kesha from her fourth studio album, High Road. The song "features" Ke$ha, making her "return" since 2013. The song was co-written by Kesha, Stint, Sean Douglas, and Wrabel. It serves as the eleventh track from the album.
Background
The song is about embracing one's sex life and celebrating kinky.
“ | Well, I just think there hasn't been a song — that I've heard, in recent history — that's just been celebrating kinks. Kinkiness can be really fun as long as it's all consensual. I think that everybody should have fun. | ” |
It features reminisces of Kesha's older music, hence the "featuring Ke$ha" credit on the song.
A snippet of the song leaked online January 22, 2020. On the same day, Kesha played a portion of the song at her album release party with iHeartRadio. The demo version of the song leaked January 25, 2020.
When asked by a fan on Reddit about the "featuring Ke$ha" credit, Kesha answered,
“ | i really want to reclaim all sides of my voice on this album and embrace where I'm at everything I've gone through, and that includes Ke$ha. She was how I first got introduced to this world and how I met so many of my fans and also I'm kinda taking the piss of the fact that I have 2 names. i think sense of humor is a big part of my personality and i want to make sure i maintain that and my fans should know i dont take myself that seriously, | ” |
Because the Kesha's Weird & Wonderful Rainbow Ride Round 2 was supposed to kick off on October 16, 2020, but was not able to due to COVID-19, Kesha announced via her hotline that she would be doing an exclusive performance of "Kinky" for the people who were going on the cruise.[2] The performance was recorded on the same day she did her Ellen Show performance of "Little Bit of Love".
Composition
"Kinky" is a "suitably weird, wonderful and horny" electro-R&B song with elements of 1980s music and a "raunchy bassline". Lyrically, the song sees the singer "celebrating kinks"
Lyrics
You like to put on my dress
I like to put on your boots
We make the bed a mess
Even if it’s just me and you
It’s only human nature
To want to fuck a stranger
Long as we’re honest
We got this
Not this is something major
One plus one is two
That’s me and you
Plus one is three that’s
Fun fun fun fun
Boys kiss boys kiss
Girls kiss girls
That's how it's meant to be
Baby you're my lover
We can go find some others
As long as it's not a secret
We can keep it kinky
I'll be yours forever
You I'm down for whatever
Tell me of all of your deepest fantasies
We’ll keep it kinky
You and me got an understanding
Nobody gotta understand it
Tell me the freakiest shit
You secretly wanna do
Baby don’t be embarrassed
I probably wanna do that shit too
Monogamy ain’t natural
At least not for me and you
We’re in our own dimension
We’re making up our own rules
One plus one is two
That’s me and you
Plus one is three that’s
Fun fun fun fun
Boys kiss boys kiss
Girls kiss girls
That's how it's meant to be
Baby you're my lover
We can go find some others
As long as it's not a secret
We can keep it kinky
I'll be yours forever
You I'm down for whatever
Tell me of all of your deepest fantasies
We’ll keep it
Kinda sweet stuff
Kinda freaky beaky shit
You can trust me
I can be a kinky bitch
You say can’t turn ho into a housewife
But who wants a housewife who ain’t a ho sometimes
I like it kinda slow and sweet sometimes
I like it when you’re begging on your knees sometimes
I like it in the bed, or the car, or the kitchen
In the bar at your best friend’s party
Baby you're my lover
We can go find some others
As long as it's not a secret
We can keep it kinky
I'll be yours forever
You I'm down for whatever
Tell me of all of your deepest fantasies
We’ll keep it kinky
You and me got an understanding
Nobody gotta understand it
You and me got an understanding
Nobody gotta understand it
You like to put on my dress
I like to put on your boots
We make the bed a mess
Even if it’s just me and you
It’s only human nature
To want to fuck a stranger
Long as we’re honest
We got this
Not this is something major
One plus one is two
That’s me and you
Plus one is three that’s
Fun fun fun fun
Boys kiss boys kiss
Girls kiss girls
That's how it's meant to be
Baby you're my lover
We can go find some others
As long as it's not a secret
We can keep it kinky
I'll be yours forever
You I'm down for whatever
Tell me of all of your deepest fantasies
We’ll keep it kinky
You and me got an understanding
Nobody got an understanding
Tell me the freakiest shit
