Kesha hasn't released new music in a long time--she's been stuck in a protracted legal battle with her former producer whom she accused of sexual abuse. But on The Sex Files 2 A Dark XXX ParodyWednesday she gave her fans a surprise: she's releasing a song this week.

In a video posted to her social media accounts, the singer announced a new song, "Praying," coming out Thursday.

She vaguely touched on the lawsuit that has kept her from releasing new music since her 2012 Warrioralbum, telling her fans this has been "hands down the hardest time of my entire life."

But she seemed optimistic about what's coming next. "I couldn't have done this without you. I f*cking love you," she told her beloved fans, or "animals."

Earlier this week, she hinted at new material on her Instagram with this tile design.

At least it's almost Thursday, animals!
