“I was a fresh 18, you’re makin’ me phat beats.”
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.
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.
