Kesha Drops New Single ‘Delusional’: Listen

Kesha released her latest single, “Delusional,” over the long holiday weekend, gifting fans with new music the same week she delivered a music video for “Joyride.”

“Delusional” — co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love, and produced by Zhone — is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and more, and can be purchased on the iTunes Store. Preview the song below.

“I’ve been living the goddamn dream/ My time expensive and you’re just too cheap/ The way I’m single, do it so obscene/ Watch me gettin’ hotter on your cheap TV/ I’m in the heavens, I’m on 11/ You’re like a four, but who’s keepin’ score?/ Live for the heartbreak, it gets my bills paid/ Thank god you walked out that door,” Kesha sings on “Delusional,” leading up to the chorus: “Baby, you’re delusional/ Thinking you could ever find/ Something that’s as beautiful/ Someone with a love like mine.”

On Wednesday, Kesha had teased the release of “Delusional” at the end of her new “Joyride” video, perhaps launching a high-speed journey into a new chapter of her career.

“Joyride,” which premiered in July, was the first single to be released via the singer’s own Kesha Records.

Kesha’s independent label has a global distribution deal with ADA that gives her full creative control and ownership of her work. ADA is also working together with Crush Music, Kesha’s management company, to oversee marketing and promotion for the pop star’s next album, expected to arrive in 2025. In the announcement of the partnership in September, Kesha noted, “I am excited to take control of my narrative and rewrite my story in the music business.”

Kesha’s record label launch and her newly released tunes follow the settling of a defamation suit filed by Dr. Luke in 2023, which came several years after the singer filed a suit against the producer in 2014 alleging physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
