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.
I'll Sing With You
Meghan Trainor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I
Ever smile again
But then I heard that simple song
And told myself to sing along
Suddenly I
Finally see that
Because I heard that simple song
And told myself to sing along
And it said when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you
For awhile I
I never understood
How life could be so hard (so hard)
Then I opened up my heart
And gave myself a brand new start
Then I realized
How beautiful life
Turns out to be
Because when I heard that simple song
I told myself to sing along
And it said when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you
And it's OK when nothing goes your way
It's OK when it doesn't seem right
It's OK when it all falls down and no one comes around
Cause we'll laugh about it
Yeah we'll laugh about it
And when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
Whoa-whoa when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you
Whoa-whoa when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
Whoa-whoa and when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you
The opening lines of this song suggest that the singer has been through difficult times and struggles to find a reason to be happy again. However, the simple act of hearing a song and singing along to it has made her realize that life is not all that bad. The chorus of the song tells us that singing a simple song can help alleviate feelings of sadness, and the singer promises to be there to sing along and be true to the listener when they are feeling down.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on how she had once believed that life was hard and found it difficult to open up her heart to new experiences. However, hearing the simple song brought about a change of heart, and she was able to appreciate the beauty in life. The song repeated the chorus again comforting the listener that it was okay to have bad days and that they will always be there to sing together and make things better.
The message of the song is quite clear: sometimes we might feel overwhelmed by life's difficulties, but a simple song and someone to sing it with can be what we need to get through tough times. The song is about the power of music and the comfort that comes from having someone to support you when you're feeling low.

@lrav2000
I would hear this song on the radio right now. Why isn’t this song a single on iTunes? This is such a bop!!!
@jesseszymcik3026
I think Only 17 made it to Apple Music.i heard that the independent albums had to get pulled from the shelves when she signed her record deal. Maybe they wouldn’t accept no profit from it while she was under contract. Can understand her not wanting them to get a slice when she made the whole thing, herself, with her dad sitting in a little.
