Background and development
Kesha said that she wrote the song as a, "celebration of survival, liberation and radical joy".2 Additionally, she said that, "Origami!" is a celebration of sex. Wherever and with whoever you choose to have it with! It’s about embracing freedom and self-love that we all deserve".3
Reception
DraftKings Network gave the song a positive review, saying, "Origami! points toward Kesha’s raunchy, wink-heavy club-pop register: chant-ready hooks, body-forward imagery, travel-gloss fantasy, and the central fold-me-up metaphor carried directly through the title".4
Live performance
During a surprise DJ set for Live Nation in San Francisco, Kesha live debuted the track for the first time.5
