"Your Love Is My Drug" is a song by American singer-songwriter Kesha, taken from her first album, Animal (2010). It was released as the album's third single on May 14, 2010. The song was written by Kesha, Pebe Sebert and Ammo, who co-produced the song with Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. Described by Kesha as a "pretty happy" song with dark undertones, the song's inspiration came from Kesha's relationship with an ex-boyfriend. Written about the couple's codependency, the song compares their love for one another to a drug.
Prior to the release of Animal, the song charted in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. After being released as a single the song reached the top five in Australia and the United States, as well as reaching the top ten in Canada and Ireland. It was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling five million equivalent units in the United States.
Kesha notably performed the song alongside "Tik Tok" on the 35th season of Saturday Night Live where she was covered in glow-in-the-dark tribal-like make-up. In the psychedelic-influenced music video for the song, Kesha is featured in the desert, while being chased by a love interest. The video also features a digital animation sequence which was inspired by the Beatles' film Yellow Submarine.
