Kesha Returns With 'Praying,' Her First New Single In 4 Years: Watch the Healing Video

Kesha makes a welcomed return to music with her emotionally-driven new single, "Praying." It is the singer's first taste of new solo tunes in four years. While it's been a long, frustrating and tearful wait for both Kesha and her fans, she has proved it was worth it.

She wrote "Praying" with Ryan Lewis (who also produced it), Ben Abraham and Andrew Joslyn. It signifies a new, refreshed era for Kesha, as she pours all of the gripping emotions she's been going through amid the vitriolic legal battle with producer Dr. Luke. "Am I dead? Or is this one of those dreams, those horrible dreams that seem like they last forever? If I'm alive, why?" she asks in the mournful opening monologue of the video. "If there's a God or whatever, something...somewhere...why have I been abandoned by everyone and everything I've ever known?" Stranded. What is the lesson? What is the point? God, give me a sign, or I have to give up. I can't do this anymore. Please just let me die. Being alive hurts too much."
