"No, I won't apologize for the fire in my eyes, / let me show you my true colors," sings Kesha, in her first release since 2013.

Her latest song, a ballad produced and rereleased by Zedd, is the first work anybody has heard from her after her lawsuit, which states that in the ten years working with Dr. Luke, she suffered abuse at his hands, both sexual and mental. The abuse ranged from rape, forced use of illegal drugs, to harmful comments about Kesha's body. Dr. Luke, her long time producer, denies all of these claims.

Kesha's case has been a high profile one, garnering support from fans, who started the #FreeKesha and #SonySupportsRape movements online. After a judge denied the court injunction that would allow Kesha the right to release music outside her contract - a contract which requires six songs on each of her albums to be produced by Dr. Luke - many artists began to show their support, too. Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to Kesha for use in her legal case, and she was not the only one to outwardly show her support.

Gaga tweeted,

There are people all over the world who love you @KeshaRose. And I can say truly I am in awe of your bravery.

Gaga also posted a picture of her and Kesha, with the caption, "Free Kesha."

Gaga's tweets were one of many, as a plethora of artists added their voices to a sea of support.

standing with @KeshaRose through this traumatic, deeply unfair time. send good vibes her way everyone

really disappointing to hear about this kesha case. no one should be denied freedom from their abuser, nor freedom of their creativity.

Disgusted by anyone in power positions abusing their authority. My heart breaks for Kesha and all people affected by this toxicity. Fuck.

devastated by the @KeshaRose ruling. no one should feel so uncomfortable creating and expressing themselves #FreeKesha

Some of the other notable tweets were from singer/songwriters and producers themselves. Jack Antonoff wrote,

hey @kesharose -- don't know what the legal specifics are, but if you want to make something together & then leak it for everyone I'm around

Along with others, Zedd offered up his help to Kesha.

@KeshaRose very very sorry to hear about the whole situation. I'll be happy to produce a song for you if you want my help.
— Zedd (@Zedd) February 22, 2016

He held true to his word, and brought her out during his Coachella set to sing the title track of his second album, 'True Colors.'

On April 29th, Zedd and Kesha released "True Colors" as a joint release between both of their labels, Interscope and Kemosabe. Yet, the original lyrics couldn't be more fitting, as Kesha belts in the chorus: "A promise with a lie, is broken by design / What we thought we knew, has been swallowed by the truth / It's time to light the flame, right before it rains / I'm not afraid, I'm not."

She makes some noticeable changes, singing "It ain't your rainbow," instead of the original "it ain't no rainbow." Maybe the most powerful change is her change of the lyrics, "We've escaped our capture, yet we have our masters" to "I've escaped my capture, and I have no master." Kesha's no damsel in distress.

Following the release of "True Colors," Kesha took to Instagram to express her gratitude.

Forever grateful to @zedd and all of YOU for making True Colors possible. Baby steps. All I want to do is make music. Hope to be able to really get back to work and record an album soon. But this feels great. this is why I'm here. I had forgot the feeling... #truecolors

This entire situation shows how pervasive rape culture is in today's society, which is perhaps one of the saddest parts of the court case. Despite the outpouring of support for Kesha, her fight reminds victims of abuse how hard it can be even when you do speak up, even when you are heard. Kesha's case only shows how little progress we have made, and how important her fight is.

Be a Kesha, be a Zedd; speak the truth, even if your voice shakes, and don't be afraid to help. Always.
