“High Road” Q&A
-
Why did Kesha choose this title for the album?
She explained to Radio:
[The phrase] has many meanings. I feel like as a human being, morally, I try to take the high road. People may assume that that’s what the entirety of the record is about, but in fact, the song itself is about people who like to try to bring you down and talk shit. Sometimes you just got to stay above it, sometimes you gotta just get really high and laugh about it. In a sense, I take the high road but in a sense, I definitely am not taking the high road in that song. So, the irony of the title is why I chose that to be the name of the record.
