Kesha wept as she played a clip of her new song on Instagram Live.

The 37-year-old was streaming with happy tears as she celebrated "owning her voice" for the first time in 19 years on Wednesday (06.03.24).

The 'Tik Tok' hitmaker – who released the album ‘Gag Order’ last year - was seen wiping away her tears as she treated fans to a preview of the unnamed new track.

Kesha - who has stripped bare to express her freedom in a series of photographs - has also sent fans to the website keshaiswaitingforyou.com to sign up for information regarding her new era.

She also posted to her Instagram Story: "March 6, 2024.

"First day I've owned my voice in 19 years."

Kesha departed Dr Luke's Kemosabe - which is distributed by RCA Records - in December, six months after her long-running legal battle with the producer came to an end and she is excited about her "brand new and very exciting chapter".

She told V magazine: "There is a day - although I won’t say the day - but there is a day marked on my calendar when I am free to release music.”

Asked what she wants to tell her fans, she added: “So just know that she is out here in the woods writing and singing till four in the morning, ferociously. I am being a feral wild woman out here. So just know that.”

The 'Praying' hitmaker insisted she is in a good place in her life right now.

She said: “I’ll say this: I’ve never felt happier, more excited, more at peace and had such a purpose in my entire life. And I feel like I have earned the right to be this happy for sure. So letting that be…I am loving every minute of what feels like a brand-new and very exciting chapter."

Kesha and music producer Dr. Luke, 50, had been locked in a legal dispute for years after she filed a lawsuit accusing him of drugging and raping her after a party in 2005, prompting the music executive - who denied the allegation - to file a defamation case.

But in June last year, they settled out of court after nearly 10 years, just weeks before they were set to go to trial.

The pair said in a joint statement shared on Kesha’s Instagram stories: “Kesha and Dr Luke have agreed to a resolution of the lawsuit, and have agreed to issue and post a joint statement regarding that resolution.”

It went on to give two separate statements from the pair.

Kesha, previously known as Ke$ha, said: “Only God knows what happened that night. As I have always said, I cannot recount everything that happened.

“I am looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning a new one.

“I wish nothing but peace to all parties involved.”

Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald, maintained his innocence in his statement below Kesha’s message.
