Kesha Promises The 'Best Day' Of Your Life on Sunshiny 'Angry Birds 2' Track: Listen

Kesha performs in concert during the Rainbow tour at Hammerstein Ballroom on Oct. 9, 2017 in New York City.
Kesha has a very simple message for you on her new song from the Angry Birds 2 soundtrack: this is gonna be the best day of your life. The singer dropped the Ryan Lewis-produced remix of the song "Best Day" on Thursday (July 25) and the message is perfectly simple, the meaning is clear. "I'm feelin' so nice/ I ain't got no negative energy/ High fives and good vibes/ Wrote this one for all my friends/ And enemies," she sings on the bouncy tune that bops along on finger snaps, funky plucked bass and a multi-tracked chorus of her sunshiny vocals.
The song, co-written with the singer's frequent collaborator Wrabel, as well as Scott Harris and Lewis, is her latest soundtrack effort, following on the heels of the more serious "Here Comes The Change" from the Ruth Bader Ginsburg biopic On The Basis of Sex and the soaring "This is Me" from The Greatest Showman. She dropped "Rich, White, Straight Men" last month, imagining a world where the aforementioned didn't keep ruling the world anymore.
Lewis was excited to share the new track on twitter, calling it the "happiest song I've ever produced." In a statement, Kesha said, “I wanted to write a song that would make people feel GOOD. Life can be hard sometimes, and I wanted to write something to listen to in the morning to remind myself to be happy, grateful, positive and remember that I can choose to have the best day of my life (of my life, of my life). Every day. I also think high fives are great and would like to promote high fives whenever possible.”
The Angry Birds 2 voice cast includes Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Leslie Jones, Bill Hader, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, Eugenio Derbez, Danny McBride, Peter Dinklage, Zach Woods, Pete Davidson, Dove Cameron, Lil Rel Howery, Beck Bennett, Nicki Minaj, Brooklynn Prince, Maya Rudolph, Tony Hale, JoJo Siwa, David Dobrik, Gaten Matarazzo, and Colleen Ballinger.
And another one! This might be the happiest song I've ever produced haha https://t.co/FLEWED1Gc6
