Kesha releases her first independent single 'Joyride' after parting ways with Kemosabe and RCA
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kesha has finally made it as an independent artist as she released her first single.

Kesha releases her new single 'Joyride'
Kesha has now released her first single ‘Joyride' and has shared it on her social media.
“I couldn’t have made it through without all of you. Now we joyride,” Kesha wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter.)
The lyric video launched on YouTube features fiery visuals of a truck and the words “Are you a man? 'Cause I’m a b*tch, I'm already rich, just looking for that (Mm) This party sucks, I'm ’bout to ditch."
“Don't, don't, don't, don't even try to gi-give me s---, I've earned the right to b-be like this, Oh, you say you love me? (That's funny), Well, so do I,” the song continues.

Kesha co-wrote Joyride with Madison Love and Zhone
According to Rolling Stone, the singer co-wrote ‘Joyride’ with Madison Love and Zhone. Zhone also served as a producer of her new single.
The 37-year-old star has been sharing snaps from her new single to tease fans on Instagram.
After the release, she posted a video as she sang the new track with friends on the platform. “MY NEW SINGLE JOYRIDE IS OUT NOW,” she captioned the post.
In March, the pop artist first suggested she’d be returning with some music soon. “Freedom, I’ve been waiting for you. Everything’s changed now, we haven’t talked in a while," she sang in the clip shared on Instagram at the time.
Later on March 6, she announced on X, "First day I've owned my voice in 19 years. Welcome."
Kesha told V Magazine earlier about going independent. "I’ll say … to all my fans, all my animals, this has been a ride. I’ll say that there is a day — although I won’t say the day — but there is a day marked on my calendar when I am free to release music," she said when asked what she wanted to "put out there into the world."
The ‘Let ‘em Talk’ crooner settled the lawsuit out of court with producer Lukasz "Dr Luke " Gottwald" last year.
