Coutts took on Kesha\u2019s rap bridge, keeping one of the song\u2019s most recognisable moments intact, while the group leaned into their own aesthetic with wired headphones and bold red-and-black styling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The cover arrived the same day Blusher released <em>Racer<\/em>, their second EP. Alongside the Kesha rendition, they performed their own track \u201cLast Man Standing\u201d live in the triple j studios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cYour Love Is My Drug\u201d originally peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2010, becoming Kesha\u2019s third top 10 hit that year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, Kesha\u2019s latest studio album <em>.<\/em> (<em>Period<\/em>) made its mark on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/kesha-makes-chart-topping-debut-001910477.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Billboard\u2019s charts last month;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Billboard\u2019s charts last month<\/a>, debuting at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums and Top Dance Albums (chart dated July 19). It marks her first independently released album after a career with Kemosabe\/RCA Records. The set was issued through the singer\u2019s own Kesha Records label and distributed by Warner Music Group\u2019s indie distribution arm Alternative Distribution Alliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In support of the new album, the singer recently announced she is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/kesha-announces-australian-return-2026-034551044.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:set to return to Australia;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">set to return to Australia <\/a>for a run of headline dates.
