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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I need you
And you're questioning
Ho I'd be if you needed me
'Cause I can't go on without you here I need you
So please don't go away, not today
If I were alone would you come around
If I were alone you you come to me
'Cause you can't see what I see I need you here with me
And I know I know I know you're good with me
Ooh I, I am questioning all your love
Is it really enough
Ooh and I'm wondering where our love could go
'Cause from here I don't know
And I can't go on without you here I need you
So please don't go away, not today
If I were alone would you come around
'Cause I'm awful on my own I'm feeling too alone now
If I were alone would you come to me
'Cause you can't see what I see I need you here with me
And I know I know I know you're good with me
If I were alone would you come around

Yes I need you now, I need you now

I'm wondering what you'd do
I am curious about how you would react
If I need you
If I require your presence
And you're questioning
You are uncertain
How I'd be if you needed me
My reaction if you needed my assistance
'Cause I can't go on without you here I need you
I am unable to carry on without you, I require your presence
So please don't go away, not today
Stay with me, at least for today
If I were alone would you come around
If I were alone, would you visit me
'Cause I'm awful on my own I'm feeling too alone now
Being by myself is daunting and quite lonely right now
If I were alone you you come to me
If I were alone, would you come to me
'Cause you can't see what I see I need you here with me
You do not have the same perspective as me, I require your presence here with me
And I know I know I know you're good with me
I possess the knowledge that you support me
Ooh I, I am questioning all your love
I am doubting your love
Is it really enough
Is the love you have for me adequate
Ooh and I'm wondering where our love could go
I am pondering where our love could lead to
'Cause from here I don't know
As of now, I am unsure
If I were alone would you come to me
If I were by myself, would you join me
I'm not good alone and I need you now
I struggle to function by myself, and I require your presence at this moment
Yes I need you now, I need you now
I am urgently in need of you, right now

Letra 😊
Eu cometo erros, sim, eu admito
Eu desmoronei na frente do seu rosto
Mas você acha fofo, você zomba de mim
Querida, eu sei que você está aqui para ficar
Três pequenas palavras dizem mais que o suficiente
Nós temos essa base que estamos construindo
E não demorou muito para saber que você é o único
Essa comunicação me fez apaixonar
Quem sabia que nós encontraríamos isso em breve?
Caindo como os amantes
Agora reunimos nossas vidas inteiras
Poderíamos chamar um longo tempo para sempre
Sim, eu sou seu maior fã
Você gosta de mim como eu sou
Então eu sempre vou ficar para sempre
Mesmo se eu cometer erros, sim, eu admito
Eu desmoronei na frente do seu rosto
Mas você acha fofo, você zomba de mim
Querida, eu sei que você está aqui para ficar
Você está aqui para ficar
Querida, é por isso que estou aderindo a você, o que for preciso
Querida, eu sei que você está aqui para ficar
Desamparado sem você
Eu não quero amar ninguém além de você
Eu não quero encontrar alguém novo, sim
Estou tão satisfeito, eu
Eu não quero amar ninguém além de você
Eu não quero encontrar alguém novo, sim
Quem sabia que nós encontraríamos isso em breve? (conheça isso em breve)
Caindo como amantes fazem (amantes fazem)
Agora reunimos nossas vidas inteiras
Poderíamos chamar um longo tempo para sempre
Sim, eu sou seu maior fã (maior fã)
Você gosta de mim como eu sou (como eu sou)
Então eu sempre vou ficar para sempre
Mesmo se eu cometer erros, sim, eu admito (oh não)
Eu desmoronei na frente do seu rosto
Mas você acha fofo, você zomba de mim
Querida, eu sei que você está aqui para ficar (oh, fique)
Você está aqui para ficar (oh)
Querida, é por isso que estou aderindo a você, o que for preciso
Querida, eu sei que você está aqui para ficar.

lyrics:
This time, I'm taking it away
I've got a problem
With me getting in the way
Not by design
So I take my face
And bash it into a mirror
I won't have to see the pain
Pain, pain
This state is elevating
As the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
The hurt inside is fading
This shit's gone way too far
All this time, I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything
And, oh, I cannot give any more
My mind's done with this, okay?
I've got a question
Can I throw it all away?
Take back what's mine
So I take my time
Guiding the blade down the line
Each cut closer to the vein
Vein, vein
This state is elevating
As the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
The hurt inside is fading
This shit's gone way too far
All this time, I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything
And, oh, I cannot give any more
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it
This state is elevating
As the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
The hurt inside is fading
This shit's gone way too far
All this time, I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything
And, oh, I cannot give any more
Give any more
Give any more
Give any more
Give any more

Jacob Hnamte 🥇for your true words
@GeorgeRaphaelHarriss
I read an excerpt about the mental breakdown she had and what they were doing to her with the music and everything. I definitely agree that she deserves her music to be heard and experienced more than a lot of other people in the industry. I really hope she keeps at it and never takes her claws off the industry's neck!! ❤️
@isaiahharrell4159
I could have sworn that it was a panic attack or anxiety attack. I didn't know it was a mental breakdown.
@GeorgeRaphaelHarriss
@Isaiah Harrell yea, that happened as well. A lot was going on and it was a lot of pressure.
@kurtbautista9992
This is one of my favorite song from this album. It's so calm that you could play it in your car.
