The song was written in 2012, after Kesha traveled the world. Before working on her second studio album, she went on a [[spiritual journey]]. Recalling experiences of feeding baby lions and swimming with [[great white shark]]s, Kesha said, "I got hypnotized, and I just really wanted this record to be really positive, really raw, really vulnerable and about the magic of life."<ref name=huffpost>{{cite web|title=Ke$ha 'Die Young' Hits Airwaves, Party Anthem Boasts Stripped, 'Hippie Rock' Sound|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/25/kesha-die-young-new-song-new-album-listen_n_1912850.html|work=[[The Huffington Post]]|publisher=[[AOL]]|accessdate=1 October 2012}}</ref><ref name="Rolling Stone">{{cite web|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/massive-beats-wild-nights-and-crazy-tattoos-ke-ha-rocks-out-on-new-album-20120720|title=Massive Beats, Wild Nights and Crazy Tattoos: Ke$ha Rocks Out on New Album: T.

==Critical reception== |

MTV praised "Supernatural" as displaying Kesha's musical maturation, adding, "It's the kind of high-gloss production she largely avoided on her breakthrough ''[[Animal (Kesha album)|Animal]]'' album..."<ref name=mtvsuper/> Although Kesha's vocals are still masked by Dr. Luke's production, MTV noted that it was "great to hear Ke$ha's pipes in action...".<ref name=buzzworthy>{{cite web|last=Rubenstein|first=Jenna Hally|title=New Song: Ke$ha, 'Supernatural'|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/11/28/kesha-supernatural/|work=MTV Buzzworthy|publisher=Viacom|accessdate=9 March 2013|date=28 November 2012}}</ref> ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' said: "Featuring an insidious, sneering synth hook and surprise songwriting contributions from 80s [[one-hit wonder]] [[Nik Kershaw]] ("[[Wouldn't It Be Good]]"), "Supernatural" is a surprisingly strong [[ode]] to reaching out to the other side, so to speak."<ref name=billboard/> |

Redirect to:
- From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
- There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
- For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
- For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.
