Praying (song) "Praying" is a song recorded by American singer Kesha for her third studio album Rainbow (2017). It was made available for digital download by Kemosabe Records on July 6, 2017 as the record's lead single. The track originates from Ryan Lewis, who contacted Kesha and offered her the song. "Praying" was written by the singer with Ben Abraham, Andrew Joslyn, and its producer, Lewis. Musically, the song is a gospel and soul-influenced pop piano ballad that features minimal production and accompaniment from violins, backing vocals and drums. Inspired by suicidal thoughts she has had in the past, Kesha said that "Praying" is about "hoping everyone, even someone who hurt you, can heal".[1] "Praying" was written to showcase the singer's vocal range and to represent her as a person, and also features her nearly screaming at the top of her register. Various reviewers suggested that the song is about Dr. Luke, whom Kesha accused of sexual assault and emotional abuse in a lawsuit, although Luke is never mentioned in the song by name.
