Blusher Brings Glittery Magic to Kesha’s “Your Love Is My Drug”
So, here’s a treat for pop fans — Australian trio Blusher have made their Like A Version debut, and their song of choice? Kesha’s 2010 hit Your Love Is My Drug . Now, if you remember the original, it’s this wild, rave-ready anthem with big beats, cheeky lyrics, and an unapologetic party vibe. Blusher managed to keep that infectious energy but completely wrapped it in their own glittery, dreamlike style.
The decision to cover Kesha wasn’t exactly a tough one. As Jade Ingvarson-Favretto explained, Kesha is basically part of the band’s DNA. Back when Blusher’s members — Jade, Miranda Ward, and Lauren Coutts — first met in 2021, they bonded over deep-cut Kesha tracks. To them, Kesha represents a shameless love for pop music, something they’ve carried into their own work.
Their version of Your Love Is My Drug starts soft, almost ethereal, with delicate three-way harmonies that feel straight out of dream-pop heaven. But don’t be fooled — the tempo kicks up, choreography bursts in, and live drums add drama to the mix. They swapped out the original’s synth-heavy “bleeps and bloops” for their signature shimmering vocal loops, giving the track a completely different emotional texture while still making it feel fun and alive.

Each member got a chance to shine, but Lauren’s delivery of Kesha’s iconic rap-bridge deserves a special shout-out. And just when you think it’s over, Jade cheekily drops in a few lines from ABBA’s SOS — because why not throw in another dose of nostalgia? The result is a performance that feels both refreshingly modern and warmly familiar, like a party where you already know all the words but are still surprised by the playlist.
The band’s new EP RACER is packed with the same kind of feelings-first electronica that made this cover work so well. Tracks like MARATHON show off their bratty pop side, while LAST MAN STANDING hits with a more anthemic punch. Kesha’s hit sits somewhere in between, making it the perfect canvas for Blusher’s debut in the Like A Version studio.
Their inspiration for the performance came from other memorable Like A Versions — Confidence Man’s turbo-charged take on Heaven and CHVRCHES’ haunting rework of Arctic Monkeys’ Do I Wanna Know? . That same mix of transformation and respect for the original runs through Blusher’s cover, and honestly, it looks like they had the time of their lives performing it.
And here’s the best part — they’ve hinted it might just make it into their live setlist. So if you catch them on stage, don’t be surprised if you hear that glittery, harmony-laced Your Love Is My Drug lighting up the room. For fans of both Blusher and Kesha, it’s a pop dream come true.
