"TiK ToK" bercerita tentang momen-momen seseorang mengalami kesenangan yang berlebihan. Bait pertama lirik lagu "TiK ToK" menyebutkan nama panggung penyanyi rap Amerika Serikat Sean Combs yang saat itu dikenal sebagai "P Diddy" dalam konteks menunjukkan keadaan bersemangat dan percaya diri saat bangun tidur di pagi hari.
Diddy menyanyikan"Hey, what up girl?" dan "Let's Go" pada bait pertama "TiK ToK".
Kesha menulis lagu "TiK ToK" bersama produser musik Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke) dan Benjamin Joseph Levin (Benny Blanco).
Sejak kasus pelecehan seksual Diddy, Kesha beberapa kali mengubah bait pertama yang berisi "like P Diddy", antara lain menjadi "just like me" saat tampil di Los Angeles, Amerika Serikat, pada November 2023.
Lirik lagu Kesha "TiK ToK"
[Verse 1: Kesha dan P Diddy]
Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P. Diddy (Hey, what up, girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city (Let's go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't comin' back
[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
I'm talkin' pedicure on our toes, toes
Tryin' on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowin' up our phones, phones
Drop-toppin', playin' our favorite CDs
Pullin' up to the parties
[Chorus: Kesha]
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Oh, whoa, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa, whoa, oh
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Oh, whoa, whoa, oh
[Verse 2: Kesha]
Ain't got a care in the world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
And now the dudes are linin' up 'cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
I'm talkin' 'bout everybody gettin' crunk (Crunk)
Boys try to touch my junk (Junk)
Gonna smack him if he gettin' too drunk, drunk
Now, now we go until they kick us out (Out)
Or the police shut us down, down
[Chorus: Kesha]
Don't stop, make it pop, DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight 'til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock, but the party don't stop, no
Oh, woah, woah, oh (Oh)
Oh, woah, woah, oh
Don't stop, make it pop, DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight 'til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock, but the party don't stop, no
Oh, woah, woah, oh (Oh)
Oh, woah, woah, oh
[Bridge: Kesha]
(DJ) You build me up, you break me down
My heart, it pounds, yeah, you got me
With my hands up, you got me now
You got that sound, yeah, you got me (Oh, oh, oh)
(DJ) You build me up, you break me down
My heart, it pounds, yeah, you got me (Oh, oh, oh)
With my hands up, put your hands up, put your hands up
Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in
[Chorus: Kesha]
Don't stop, make it pop, DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight 'til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock, but the party don't stop, no
Oh, woah, woah, oh (Oh)
Oh, woah, woah, oh
Don't stop, make it pop, DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'ma fight 'til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock, but the party don't stop, no
Oh, woah, woah, oh (Oh)
Oh, woah, woah, oh
