Kesha plans to re-record Tik Tok with P. Diddy lyric change

Kesha plans to re-record her hit song Tik Tok with a significant lyric change once she has the "legal rights to".

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the singer-songwriter celebrated the 15th anniversary of the track, which she originally dropped on 7 August 2009.

"TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!! I remember making it fun and happy because that's how I felt and wanted others to feel," she wrote. "What I'm so proud of is that's how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to. 15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time. That girl was naive and wild and playful. This song eternalizes a side of myself that I love very much, and now see I have to protect fiercely. The world has changed so much and so have I."

In addition, Kesha confirmed that she will re-record Tik Tok in the future to reflect a lyric change.

While performing at Coachella alongside Reneé Rapp last year, the pair changed the lyric "wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy" to "wake up in the morning, like, 'F**k P. Diddy.'"

The alteration came in the wake of Sean 'Diddy' Combs being hit with a lawsuit by former partner Cassie Ventura. In court documents, Cassie alleged Combs had subjected her to physical and sexual abuse during their relationship.

Hip-hop mogul Combs denied the allegations and the pair later reached an out-of-court settlement. The lawsuit was dismissed.

"I absolutely love the new lyric change. (Shout out to @reneerapp). Yes it is permanent. I will re-record it when I have legal rights to! Now, my first baby stands for so much. It stands for fiercely protecting fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others. The whole ride has been absolute insanity, but the JOY is still riding," Kesha continued, referring to her new single Joyride. "I hope you all can find 3 1/2 minutes of play in this song and connect with your wild child-like joy. Thank you for making my life so magical animals, it's one for the books!"
