Not only is Ke$ha readying the release of her new album Warrior, the party pop aficionado is also preparing an illustrated memoir called My Crazy Beautiful Life, The Associated Press reports.

Out on November 20th through Touchstone (Warrior hits shelves on the 30th), Ke$ha noted in a statement that the memoir will show how her life is "not all glamourous" but is "all real." 

Touchstone, a Simon & Schuster imprint, added that the book will contain "thoughts and reflections" from Ke$ha, paired with pictures covering her childhood to her most recent tour.

You can check out the first taste of Warrior now on the endless-night anthem "Die Young."

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
