Kesha first splashed on to the scene with her 2009 debut single "TiK ToK" and while the song became a hit and a favorite on the party scene, she is now confessing to once thinking the song was "too dumb" to release.

The "Joyride" singer recently appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show where she shared behind-the-scenes details of writing the popular track and admitted to host Jennifer Hudson that she did not believe it would become as successful as it did, per People.

"When I was writing 'TiK ToK,' it was weird, because the dumber it got, the better it got," she said. "Which was confusing, because I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent human being. But it just got dumber and dumber and better and better."

Kesha followed her instinct and ended up with single that has proved to have lasting power, going on to become a top-charting track and get certified 12 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

"When I listened to the final product, I was like, 'This is too dumb.' And it's like 1.5 billion streams at this point," she said.

The "Yippee-Ki-Yay" musician noted how different the writing process for "TiK ToK" was compared to what she learned growing up from her songwriter mom, Pebe Sebert, who co-wrote Dolly Parton's 1980 song "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You."

"I would come home from school, and I'd be like, 'Mom, this boy was mean to me,' and she'd be like, 'Write a song about it,'" she said. "It was, like, how we dealt with everything as a family."
