Sassy songstress Ke$ha says most people get the "wrong impression" of her "fun" public persona.

The 'Tik Tok' singer's music revolves around the themes of partying and drinking.

Ke$ha - who is also famed for her provocative dressing - wishes people didn't take her cheeky attitude so seriously though.

She explained: "The thing about me and what I do is that I think some people initially got the wrong impression, that I was taking it really seriously... that it was somehow supposed to be a really serious thing. And it's just fun..."

She added: "All I want to do is inspire other people to be themselves and have a f**k off good time. Honestly. And I don't really find anything negative in that."

Ke$ha's second studio album Warrior is due for release next month, and she is hopeful that it will impress.

Speaking to Wonderland magazine she continued: "Of course the goal is to reinvent pop music. That's the very lofty goal when anybody's making a new record. We shall see. It could come out and everyone thinks it's total garbage. I hope not because I've spent a year and poured my heart and soul into it," she said.
