Right Round

Flo Rida’s “Right Round” (2009), featuring uncredited vocals by Kesha, is a rap-pop earworm that flips Dead or Alive’s ’80s hit into a strip-club anthem. With a whirling synth hook and Flo Rida’s rapid-fire verses about a captivating woman, the track’s familiarity and energy were a winning combo. It debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and set a digital sales record at the time. Besides dominating airwaves, it also introduced many to Kesha’s voice just before she broke out on her own, making “Right Round” a memorable meeting point of retro hit and modern hitmakers.
