"
We R Who We R" (abbreviation for
"We Are Who We Are") is a song by American recording artist and songwriter
Kesha from her first
extended play (EP),
Cannibal (2010). The song was released as the EP's lead single on October 22, 2010. It was written by Kesha, with Jacob Kasher Hindlin,
Dr. Luke,
Benny Blanco and
Ammo. Production of the song was completed by Dr. Luke, Blanco, and Ammo. In the wake of news that
bullying had led to
multiple suicides of gay youth, Kesha wrote the song in hopes that it would become a pride anthem. The song is intended to inspire people to be themselves, and as a celebration of anyone deemed quirky or eccentric.
