Background[]
Kesha told NPR about the song,
| “ | ‘Let 'Em Talk’ is one of my favorite songs on the album. It’s kind of part of a running theme: basically it’s about those same bastards that try to bring you down, but it’s about not caring, letting go of control and letting them do whatever they’re gonna do. You can’t stop them from talking about you, so just let them talk and while they’re talking about you, just dance through it and laugh about it. | ” |
Lyrics[]
You, you got your own opinions
But baby, I don't even need to hear 'em
It used to hurt me, used to bring me down
Do your worst, 'cause nothing's gonna stop me now
Don't let those losers take your magic, baby, yeah!
Shake that ass, don't care if they talk about it
Fuck all that, haters, just forget about 'em
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
Do your thing, don't care if you make 'em jealous
We're the kings, life is just our party palace
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Do whatever makes you happy
And screw everything else, if you ask me, yeah, yeah
'Cause life is short and we only got one shot
So let's go, balls out, give it everything we got
Don't let those losers take your magic, baby, yeah!
Shake that ass, don't care if they talk about it
Fuck all that, haters, just forget about 'em
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
Do your thing, don't care if you make 'em jealous
We're the kings, life is just our party palace
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
Just let 'em
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Let them talk
Just let 'em talk, just let 'em
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Let them talk
Boys and girls, everybody talks about you
Loves and hates, they don't really know about you
I've decided all the haters everywhere can suck my dick
Un, deux, trois, four!
Shake that ass, don't care if they talk about it
Fuck all that, haters, just forget about 'em
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
Do your thing, don't care if you make 'em jealous
We're the kings, life is just our party palace
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
(Ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
Just let 'em talk about it
Just let 'em
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Let them talk
Just let 'em talk, just let 'em
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Let them talk
Just let 'em talk, just let 'em
Just let 'em
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Let them talk
Just let 'em talk, just let 'em
(Let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk about it, let 'em talk)
Let them talk
Okay
