Kesha turns life into art in the most cheeky way with the cinematic music video for her July-released single ‘Joyride.’

Making what appears to be multiple references to her bad blood with former label boss Dr. Luke, the Laura Gorun-directed clip kicks off with a voiceover saying the songstress is “set to be released after nine years of wrongful imprisonment.”

“Are you a man?/ Cuz I’m a b–ch/ I’m already rich/ Just looking for that mmmmm/ This party sucks I’m ’bout to ditch,” she sings over the Zhone-produced cut.

‘Joyride’ is lifted as the first single from Kesha’s own self-titled label after settling the defamation suit Luke filed against her in 2023 – a shocking end to years of her attempting to take legal action against him for allegedly sexually and emotionally abusing her.

The tune’s video arrives just a week before her next drop, ‘Delusional,’ hits digital shelves on November 29.

Ahead of the latter’s arrival, enjoy the ‘Kill Bill’-inspired action of ‘Joyride’ inside.
