Here’s Kesha Singing About Being Seduced By A Producer Six Years Ago
“I was a fresh 18, you’re makin’ me phat beats.”
1. After she was discovered by Dr. Luke, but before Animal made her a household name, Kesha recorded a trove of songs for her debut that got left on the cutting-room floor. One, titled “7 AM,” is about being discovered by a producer who becomes a lover.
The song leaked online a few months after Animal was released in 2010. It was officially registered with BMI in 2008.
2. The lyrics to the song, of course, could be fictional. But they’re strikingly similar to Kesha’s own story: She began working with Dr. Luke at age 18 and, by producing songs like “Tik Tok” and “We R Who We R,” he helped make her a star.
I was a fresh 18
(I’m bein’ such a good girl)
You call me while I sleep
(Get into my world)
You’re makin’ me phat beats
(Oh God look at him)
You’re sayin’ that you think I got star quality.
3. Like “Dancing With The Devil,” another unreleased song written years later about a relationship with a producer, “7 AM” takes on new relevance after Kesha’s date rape and abuse accusations against Luke.
In one especially chilling line aimed at the producer-turned-paramour she sings: “Need a shot of your tranquilizer.” Kesha’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, has alleged that Dr. Luke gave Kesha the date-rape drug GHB and called it “sober pills.”
