Subtlety is Not Her Style

The album's title, "Gag Order," is a direct reference to Kesha's ongoing legal battles with producer Dr. Luke, whom she alleges sexually and emotionally abused her. Throughout the album, Kesha confronts the trauma and pain she has endured with unflinching honesty and fierce resilience.In the album's anthemic title track, Kesha declares, "I'm gonna make a f**king mess / They can't control me anymore / I've got a gag order / But they can't silence my roar." The powerful lyrics and aggressive instrumentation serve as a testament to Kesha's determination to break free from her constraints and reclaim her voice.
Finding Strength Amidst Darkness
Despite the album's dark and heavy subject matter, "WEB: Gag Order" is not without its moments of vulnerability and empowerment. In the haunting ballad "Prayer," Kesha sings about seeking comfort and strength through her own pain.In the fierce and defiant "I'm Not the One," she embraces her imperfections and embraces her right to exist on her own terms. The album's final track, "The Burning House," is a cathartic release of all the anger and frustration that Kesha has been holding onto.
