Kesha is back after a four-year emotional break, and we’re so happy she’s kicking ass and taking names.

Her first solo, “Praying,” comes after her very public legal battle with music producer Dr. Luke.

The powerful piano ballad is raw and revealing.

According to NME.com, Kesha said this:

“This song is about coming to feel empathy for someone else even if they hurt you or scare you. It’s a song about learning to be proud of the person you are even during low moments when you feel alone. It’s also about hoping everyone, even someone who hurt you can heal.”

We adore you Kesha! You are the Phoenix rising from the ashes!

 

This is NOT a #TBT – @KeshaRose is back ❤️ Listen to her undeniably powerful single that stopped us in our tracks. https://t.co/yLLKdVCfGE pic.twitter.com/lDwpxCJTPz
