Kesha is back with “DELUSIONAL,” a synth-pop anthem that blends anger, indifference, and empowerment in the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The song captures Kesha’s journey of realizing her worth and moving on from an ex who was blinded by delusion. With lines like “You’re so lucky I was jealous / Now you’re just another song on my setlist,” she makes it clear that her ex is now a distant memory, while she’s come out stronger and more confident.
The chorus hits hard: “Baby, you’re delusional / Thinking you could ever find / Something that’s as beautiful / Someone with a love like mine.” Kesha challenges her ex’s belief that they can find someone better, emphasizing her own irreplaceable value.
With its catchy synths, heavy drums, and interesting vocal production, “DELUSIONAL” continues in the same musical vein as her previous single “JOYRIDE”, a previous single released just a few months ago. Both tracks reflect Kesha’s growing confidence and creative independence, as she embraces her freedom following her departure from Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. “DELUSIONAL” also sets the stage for her upcoming album, due in 2025 under her own label, Kesha Records.
Cover Art Controversy
The song’s cover art, featuring spray-painted handbags with the title “DELUSIONAL” (misspelled), has raised eyebrows. Fans have speculated that the image was AI-generated, with some urging Kesha to collaborate with human artists instead. Despite the controversy, “DELUSIONAL” is still a pretty decent track in Kesha’s musical journey, so do check it out!
