"When I was in high school, I'd come home, and for fun we'd write songs together," she says. "I wrote every song on this album. I always knew it was what I wanted to do. ... I never believed in having a backup plan."

With near-perfect SAT scores, for her, a backup plan was never out of the realm of possibility. As a teenager, Ke$ha had a strong intellectual curiosity that extended beyond the music world.

"I was very studious," she says. "I was in the international baccalaureate program, I loved physics and math, and I was in the marching band. After practice, I would drive to Belmont [a college in Nashville] and listen to Cold War history classes; I just think it's so interesting. I was really curious about a lot of things that are much deeper than partying and dancing."

Apart from partying and dancing, Animal deals with many topics relevant to teenagers: friends, love, pain. In "Stephen," the 22-year-old sings about a love interest who refuses to give her the time of day.

Is the Ke$ha persona an act? I think so...

But she brushes her teeth with a bottle of jack...

Of course it's an act. Every musician is an act.

but especially Ke$ha.
I had honestly thought it was for a while now. I'd believe anything nowadays, but her role was insane.  I thought "This girl either has SERIOUS daddy issues or she's just insanely stupid. When I found out about her SAT scores and all that, I thought it had to be an act.

She likes school subjects and other things that good-girls would do/like, it's gotta be an act indeed.

I doubt anyone is actually as disgusting as Ke$ha pretends to be.

^ You'd be surprised.

Just because you do well in school that doesn't mean you can't be dumb. Obviously you guys have not spent enough time at college

I completely disagree with TJ, not every musician is an act. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are the perfect example of something that always came from the heart.
