Kesha kicks off holiday season with ‘Delusional’

Her 2025 live schedule includes sold-out House of Kesha headlining shows and top-billed festival performances

Multi-platinum global pop superstar Kesha is marking Black Friday with the arrival of her hugely anticipated new single, “Delusional.” Produced by Zhone (Troye Sivan’s Grammy Award-nominated “Rush”) and co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love (Lady Gaga, Ava Max) – the same team behind this summer’s worldwide hit single, “Joyride” – the visionary new track is available everywhere now on her own Kesha Records.

“Delusional” was heralded last week via the final moments of the official music video for “Joyride,” streaming now on YouTube. The action-packed visual was directed by Dimitri Basil (Kylie Minogue, Vance Joy), Cooper Roussel (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Miami Horror), and Laura Gorun (Joywave, Kings of Leon).

Currently boasting over 100 million worldwide streams and counting, “Joyride” has proven a true sensation since its July 4th release, reaching No. 6 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs along with the top 30 on Pop Airplay and chart success around the world from the UK to New Zealand. In addition, with fans everywhere clamoring for the unapologetic pop anthem’s official music video, the “Joyride” official lyric video has earned over 7.2 million views via YouTube.

Produced by Zhone and co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love, “Joyride” represents the triumphant first chapter of a milestone new era for Kesha, celebrating both her long overdue empowerment as an independent artist as well as a powerful sonic evolution following 2023’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Gag Order.

One of Spotify’s Top 100 Artists with close to 40 million monthly listeners, Kesha will wrap up her incredible 2024 by joining forces with iHeartRadio for eagerly awaited performances at Kiss 108’s Jingle Ball Presented By Capital One at Boston, MA’s TD Garden on December 15th and Hot 99.5’s Jingle Ball Presented By Capital One at Washington, DC’s Capital One Arena on December 17th. What looks to be an even more stacked 2025 will see the release of Kesha’s hugely anticipated sixth full-length studio album and an ambitious tour schedule that already includes several sold-out House of Kesha headlining shows and top-billed festival dates around the globe.
