After the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary last week, Ke$ha's single "Die Young" was taken out of rotation in radio stations across the country. Now, Ke$ha responded to the controversy and Tweeted that she never approved the lyrics in the first place. Those Tweets were deleted.
Yesterday, she released an OFFICIAL statement regarding the controversy.
She said: "After such a tragic event I was feeling a lot of emotion and sadness when I said I was forced to sing some of the lyrics to Die Young. Forced is not the right word. I did have some concerns about the phrase "die young" in the chorus when we were writing the lyrics especially because so many of my fans are young and that's one reason why I wrote so many versions of this song. But the point of the song is the importance of living every day to the fullest and staying young at heart, and these are things I truly believe."
