AceShowbiz - Meghan Trainor wrote a number of sexy songs for her new album with her brothers. Set to release her next record "Takin' It Back" in October, the "All About That Bass" hitmaker opened up about her songwriting process, revealing a number of the saucy tracks on the album were co-created with her siblings Ryan and Justin Trainor.
The 28-year-old talked about her new song "Dance About It" during an appearance on E! News' "Daily Pop" show. She explained, "It's like, 'Let's just like hook up and have a good night.' And I'm like, 'God, I'm writing this with my bros.' But it's just like normal for us. We're just writing songs, telling stories."
Meghan became a first-time mum in 2021 when she welcomed baby Riley with husband Daryl Sabara. Admitting her new role as a parent has influenced her music, she revealed one of the tracks called "Don't I Make It Look Easy" is about social media and how it can distort the truth about parenting.
"I talk about how we post on social media, how easy our life is," she explained. "We don't post the bad. And I'm like, 'Don't I make being a mom, a hardworking mom look easy?' That's what I'm really talking about. But also, social media's a lie."
Meghan also tackled difficult subject matters including a tricky relationship with a family member in the song "Bad For Me". She added of the track, "I like when people take it into their own world and their own life situations. On TikTok, I see a lot of people telling their stories in it. It makes me emotional and makes me feel like, 'Oh, it's important that we put this out.' "
