Bonnie McKee

Bonnie Leigh McKee (born January 20, 1984) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her debut album Trouble was released in 2004 by Reprise Records. After the label dropped her, she took a musical hiatus and established herself as a professional songwriter. She has written 10 singles that have reached number one in either the United States or the United Kingdom, which have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide combined. In 2013, she made a return to music with the single "American Girl". In 2015, she independently released the EP Bombastic. In 2024, after 11 years of anticipation by her fans expressed on social media and internet forums, she released a re-recorded version of what was meant to be her second LP, Hot City, originally supposed to be released through Epic Records in 2014, but ultimately cancelled by the label. Shortly after the cancellation of her album, a number of tracks meant for inclusion in its tracklist leaked on the internet. In the following years, they were cherished by her fans, prompting McKee to rerecord them in light of the Taylor Swift masters dispute. McKee released several tracks originally meant for her shelved 2014 album as singles from mid-2023 to early 2024, finally independently releasing the 16-track album on music streaming platforms. McKee is particularly known for collaborating with singer Katy Perry. The duo wrote "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", "Part of Me", "Wide Awake", and "Roar". McKee also co-wrote "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz, which became the second-best-selling song by a British artist in the digital era. McKee co-wrote other songs including "Hold It Against Me" by Britney Spears and "C'Mon" by Kesha. She additionally has written for Cher, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Lambert. McKee has also collaborated with Canadian a cappella singer Mike Tompkins.
