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.

Watch Me Do
Meghan Trainor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the shhh, be quiet
I've been on a low-hater diet
I'm the shhh, be quiet
I've been on a low-hater diet

'Cause I just woke up and I feel some type of way
I get all choked up when I see how much I made
And I feel so good like James Brown in his day

Singing hey, hey, hey

Watch me do, watch me
Watch me do, watch me
Wha-da-do, watch me
Let me hear you sing hey, hey, hey

I ain't saying I'm the besteses
But I got nice curves, nice breasteses
I don't erase the textes from my exeses
All in my DMs, leaving messages
Whoo, head spinning like an exorcist
And I ain't a teacher, but the lesson is
If you wonder how I make it look effortless
The answer to your question is

That I just woke up and I feel some type of way
I get all choked up when I see how much I made
And I feel so good like James Brown in his day
Singing hey, hey, hey

Watch me do, watch me
Watch me do, I said watch me
Wha-da-do, watch me
Let me hear you sing hey, hey, hey

I'm the shhh, be quiet
I've been on a low-hater diet
I'm the shhh, be quiet
I've been on a low-hater diet
I'm the shhh, be quiet
I've been on a low-hater diet
I'm the shhh, be quiet
I've been on a low-hater diet

'Cause I just woke up (Good morning!)
And I feel some type of way
I get all choked up when I see how much I made
And I feel so good like James Brown in his day
Singing hey
Come on now, hey
Come on now, hey
Singing, singing, hey

Watch me do, watch me
Watch me do, watch me

Wha-da-do, watch me
Let me hear you sing hey, hey, hey
