Background[]

The song was recorded for Kesha's second album, Warrior. Kesha stated that the track is this album's version of her 2010 single "We R Who We R". She recorded the song in June 2012.

will.i.am was in a nearby recording studio when he heard Luke, Blanco and Cirkut working with Kesha on the track, and immediately wanted to get involved. He co-wrote the album version and later wrote and recorded a new verse for himself, hoping he would be the featured artist in the song. Initially the record label decided not to include his verse; however, later his verse was included in the single/remix version of the song. In this remix, Kesha's second verse is omitted completely in favor of Will.i.am's verse. It officially impacted Top 40/Mainstream radio on April 29, 2013 and Rhythmic radio on May 7, 2013. It was made available for purchase as a digital download on April 30, 2013. will.i.am produced two other tracks whilst working with Luke, Blanco and Cirkut; they appear on will.i.am's album #willpower.

The song has been treated to two other remixes as well, one featuring Juicy J, and one featuring Pitbull. Each remix follows the formula of omitting Kesha’s second verse, in favor of the new rap verses by each rapper in their respective remix. The remix featuring Juicy J is included on Now That’s What I Call Music! 47.

Lyrics[]

Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dancefloor
Or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight we do it big and shinin' like stars
We don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are

And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
Them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
We are the- we are the crazy people

I see ya in the club, showin' Ke$ha love
Ain't trippin' on them bitches, that be hatin'
Catch a dub, chuckin' deuces
Y'all hatin's useless
It's such a nuisance
Y'all chickens keep your two cents
And keep your dollars, keep your loot

I'm fresher than that Gucci
Them boys, they want my coochie
I say no, I'm no hoochie
Your homegirl hatin', I say who she?

Ke$ha don't give two fucks
I came to start that ruckus
And you wanna party with us
'Cause we crazy motherfuckers

Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dancefloor
Drinkin' by the bar
Tonight we do it big and shinin' like stars
we don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are

And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
Them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
We are the- we are the crazy people

You see us in the place, trippin' off the bass
DJ rock a beat, make the fucker shake
Like an earthquake, like an earthquake

Booty pop all my shorties on the dancefloor
Make your hearts stop
Stop your cardiac
Sipping Cognac in the back
They they chasing my kitty-cat
They know my zodiac

I'm no virgin or no Virgo
I'm crazy, that's my word doe
It's Ke$ha in the casa, baby, let's kick it loco

Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dancefloor
Or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight we do it big and shinin' like stars
We don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are

And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
Them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
We are the, the, the, the

This is all we got and then it's gone
You call us the crazy ones
But we gon' keep on dancin' 'til the dawn

'Cause you know the party never ends
And tomorrow we gonna do it again
We the ones that play hard
We live hard, we love hard
We light up the dark

Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dancefloor
Or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight we do it big and shinin' like stars
We don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are

And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
Them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are the crazy kids
We are the- we are the crazy people

I’m buzzin' off these bubbles
I'm sippin' and I guzzle
I'm the n---- that says Mazel Tov
I bring the trouble
If they don't have no alcohol
Then I'm gonna smuggle
Some Rose, Chandon, drink 'til I see double
She put boobies in my face and now I'm really seeing doubles
I, I took her to my place to blast off like the shuttle, wait
Kissing while we talkin'
So I'm speaking with a mumble

Uh-huh!
Let's get crazy, let's live it up
I get plenty bitches, can't get enough
Wake up on 'em, damn, there's breakfast on bed
Just orange juice, no bacon and eggs
My system is loud, my weed is louder
In the club, make it rain, no scattered showers
A little bit of that, a whole lot of this
Ta-ta-ta-ta-take your pick
I got bands, I got bands, bring a chick, bring your friend
Like they bopping for apples, how they do it with no hands
Baby girl, lose your man, let's disappear
Juicy J so fly, I come with landing gear
Get me later, where she fuck free
Cause she wanna meet, they mu-must be driven
In Miami on the beach with the college girls
'Bout to take these freaks to Molly world

Intro:
They didn't believe me
Now they gotta see me
As a matter fact, now they wanna be me
Mr. Worldwide and Ke$ha
Boys looking like mustard
But they better catch up

Don't you know I'm loco?
I'm just a little bit crazy
13, I had a psychiatrist
But that ain't faze me
I get loose and screwed
What that mean, I got a couple screws loose?
If that's the case, then so be it
I've done it, I've seen it, cubanito
I say it, I mean, latino
I live it, I breathe it, 305
I love it, I bleed it, that's right
Now let's get it
I've earned so much credit
I could pay the global debt
Don't believe me? Bet it

Trivia[]
