Olivia BeeKesha has released yet another song from her upcoming album, Rainbow. This one is called “Hymn.”
The song is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt like a misfit. Kesha further explains its meaning in an essay for Mic.com.
“I think that one of the reasons why my music connects with people who feel like they don’t fit in is because I have never fit in either — this is why the song ‘Hymn’ is so special to me,” she writes. “The longer title was ‘Hymn for the Hymnless.’ And when I say ‘hymnless,’ I’m talking about people who feel like they don’t fit in, people who feel like they don’t have a hymn.”
She co-wrote the song with her mom, Pebe Sebert, as well as a few other songwriters.
“I’m a fragile soul for this world — I feel like I live by something unexplainable [sp] and magical in outer space,” Kesha writes. “I love the idea of people with similar philosophies being brought together, and that was one of the inspirations for this song.”
Kesha’s new album, Rainbow, will be released on August 11. She’ll be performing on Good Morning America on August 9.
