Jeffries noted that the album lyrically revolves around avoiding reality with a preference for a “garbage chic” one with lyrics such as “Maybe I need some rehab, or maybe just need some sleep” from the opening song “Your Love Is My Drug”.^[3] “Tik Tok” was written about an experience Kesha had where she woke up in her house in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, California, surrounded by several of her attractive female friends. She compared the experience to feeling like rapper Diddy,^[4] who contributed two lines to the song.^[5] The song “Kiss n Tell” was written about Kesha’s discovery that her boyfriend was cheating on her with a femalepop singer.^[6]

The writing of “Party at a Rich Dude’s House” came about from an incident where Kesha vomited in Paris Hilton’s closet during a party held at Hilton’s home,^[6] while “Backstabber,” according to Kesha, was written about “some dumb [girl who] fronted like she was my friend but then secretly tried to bring me down.”^[6] “Boots & Boys” is a “lusty” song reminiscent of INXS’s “Suicide Blonde”, but from a female point of view.^[3] Jeffries concluded that, overall, Animal portrays Kesha as “a gum-snapping,alcohol-abusing Facebook jockey straight out of the suburbs who spits sophomoric but fun putdowns, come-ons, and sig files all over electro beats”.^[3]
