At age 17, Trainor won the worldwide Sonicbids 2011 Tennessee Concerts Song Contest with her song "You're Good With Me." She also attended the Durango Songwriter's Expo and Big Al Anderson of NRBQ introduced her to Carla Wallace of Big Yellow Dog Music. Trainor signed as a songwriter with Big Yellow Dog Music shortly after her 18th birthday, while she was still in high school. In 2011, Trainor wrote and self-released two albums, I'll Sing With You and Only 17. She went on several writing trips to Los Angeles, New York City, and Nashville. She settled in Nashville full-time when she was 19. She has had songwriting cuts with Rascal Flatts, Sabrina Carpenter, R5, and many others.
On one of Trainor's writing trips, she met and wrote with Grammy-nominated producer Kevin Kadish. They wrote "All About That Bass" in 2014, and her publishing company told her that many artists might be interested in recording the song. L.A. Reid heard Trainor's own demo of the song and signed her to Epic Records, where she was able to release the song as a solo artist. "All About That Bass" has since become her first #1 single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and has topped charts in various other countries including Australia, Canada, Denmark and New Zealand. On September 28, 2014, the UK's Official Charts Company confirmed that "All About That Bass" made chart history in the UK by becoming the first act to officially enter the Official Singles Chart Top 40 based on streams alone. The song then remained at the top of the UK chart for four weeks, becoming the longest-running number one by a female act in 2014.
Trainor's debut EP "Title", was released in September 2014. It debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number fifteen.It peaked at number seventeen on the Canadian Albums Chart. "Dear Future Husband" was originally announced as the second single in an interview with PopJustice; however, in an interview with MTV, Trainor revealed that she had chosen "Title" as the second single instead. The song was canceled as a single, but peaked at number 9 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. Meghan Trainor was nominated for an American Music Award in 2014 for New Artist of the Year.
On October 21, 2014, Trainor released the single "Lips Are Movin" to contemporary hit radio stations as the lead single from her upcoming third studio album "Title", which is set to be released on January 13, 2015.
In late 2014, Trainor announced her first-ever headlining tour That Bass Tour, which is scheduled to begin on February 11, 2015 in Vancouver, Canada and end on March 20, 2015 in Nashville, Tennessee. Trainor's fans have since adopted the collective, "Megatrons". Trainor received two nominations at the 57th Grammy Awards: Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Meghan Trainor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After it all
If only time could bend
I'd go back to the start
If I could
I'd do it over again
Mhm-m'Cause I'm good growin' old
With my friend
Hmm-mmh
And we'd be layin' there
Your hand in my hand
I'll look at you
And see the memories we had
And the words I'd choose
For my final breath
Will be, "I love you"
Do you remember me
From lifetimes before?
It feels like eternity
But I, I want more
If I could

This song is heartbreakingly beautiful. It’s not only about being with the one you love for the rest of your life, but it also deals with the fear of death. It helps push those fears away, knowing you’ll be by your lover’s side to the very end.
@22taylorsversion9
I expected this to be mostly a dance album but this was heartbreaking. And I mean that in the best way possible. She has improved so much with her songwriting. She has a lot of vulnerability and emotion in her vocals. So so proud of you Meghan
@daringmore6892
I felt that also, and loyalty.

My husband and I have been married for 33 years. It’s hard to find the words for the kind of Love we have. It feels so consuming and so different from when we were young. The love was amazing. But the kind of love you share when you spend so many years together and have so many experience’s , good and bad, is unexplainable. Each experience in your life draws you closer together through the highs and lows, the deepest moments you could ever dream of and the some of the most gut wrenching experiences that you could have imagined. The intimacy you share is incredibly deep.

I’m struggling with anxiety and depression… this song made me cry but in a good way… and I dedicate this song to my family and closest friends, and everyone out there who’s going through the same. 💚
@charlottebalow6395
I wasn't expecting this...I have chills and I'm crying. There's just an unexplainable aura from this song. It's indescribable
@memyself2011
I just listened to the whole album and there's not a single bad song. I swear, this album is more than amazing
@Teratola
I have to agree! Thought I’d check out some songs for my Zumba class but fell in love with EVERY song. This one touched me deeply as I recently reunited with someone from high school (decades ago). Wish I could go back in time, do it over and have spent those decades with him. ♥️ It is for sure people are going to be finally sitting up and taking notice of this incredibly talented young woman.
