Why Kesha Never Got Credit For Her Hit Song With Flo Rida

Following the release of "Right Round," Flo Rida opened up about the success of the song, which he called a blessing. "It's crazy, because people feel like you get lucky the first time you do something like that. But the second time? You know you're blessed," he told MTV in 2009. However, the song — which samples Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" — also featured backing vocals from Kesha.

In 2010, Kesha revealed to Entertainment Weekly that she was not paid for singing on the chart-topping single. "I didn't get credit, I didn't get paid," she said. "Honestly, I walked into the studio and there was Flo Rida and Dr. Luke doing the song, and I was like, 'I'll just sing on it. I'm just happy you like my voice enough to put me on your song.'" The Los Angeles native went on to explain that she was simply happy to have been included in a song that was playing on the radio.
