Background

[edit]

On March 24, 2025, Kesha announced "Yippee-Ki-Yay" as the third single from Period (2025).[1][2][3][4] The song was released with the pre-order for the album, and impacted US radio stations on April 16, 2025.[5] The song was produced by Pink Slip and Nova Wav.[6] She appeared at weekend two of Coachella as a special guest of A. G. Cook where she performed an unreleased remix of the song with him.[7]

Composition

[edit]

The song is a twangy hip hop[8] and country pop track that drew comparisons to Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)".[9][10][11][12] The song fuses acoustic guitar, percussion and clap snares as Kesha sings about spending time with friends around a bonfire.[13]
