God forbid a woman who represents more of the average female comes along and promotes a self-empowering anthem about embracing a "standard" body. It's not as if we had decades of the media and pop culture stuffing unrealistic/photoshopped image/body exepectations down our throats. Really? Get out with that nonsense. I won't get out with that "nonsense" until Meghan Trainor gets out with this bulls**t and people like you stop misinterpreting it. It's not self-empowering; it's self-defeating. -- Once again, I feel like you're not properly appreciating what makes this particular song so special -- and so different from the "empowerment" songs that are usually lame, cliched and, yes, self-defeating. Here, Meghan Trainor is not simply saying it's society's job to stop being so shallow and start finding "average" women more attractive. She's outright declaring herself HOT because of how she looks. "She can shake it shake it, like she's supposed to do." She has that extra booty that guys want to hold at night. She knows you know you love that bass. That's why people are so misguided when they get mad at Trainor for "skinny shaming." The reason this song works is because Trainor is outright saying she feels she is sexier BECAUSE of how she looks (and she's asking women to feel similarly empowered). A self-defeating song would be one that said, "I know I'm not hot and skinny, but love me anyway." It's universal because others should feel similarly sexy and confident in their own bodies. They can be all about those abs. All about those boobs. All about that red hair. Be all about yourself - and find the guys who are all about you. -- I also think you're drifting dangerously close to the implicit judgment argument that really bothers me. It's like when I see people say, "You don't have to be fat - work out." When you say that, you are *inherently* making a value judgment in favor of being skinny. You are saying she could change her weight...as if she SHOULD change her wait. This idea that skinny > fat is exactly what Meghan is trying to downplay. (And don't give me the health argument. Speaking as a guy who's into powerlifting/athletic lifting, I can promise you I work out harder and am far stronger and healthier than Justin Bieber. But because strength is my priority, I'm not as skinny - and thus don't have Justin Bieber ab definition. So, "working out to be healthy" is not a synonym with "working out to be skinny")

Looks like it'll squash next week's competition on the UK Chart, as it's number 1 with a huge margin with just hours of being available, plus there are phony versions on the chart as well, the highest at number 8!

I didn't like this at first didnt really give it a chance. I saw the colorful video, the multi colored wigs all over the set. I got flashbacks to another trash pop female and her songs/videos.
However, once i listened properly this song is not only catchy but its really good. I love to doo-wop and r&B elements contained among its pop side. Meghan has some soul, I can tell. I like something in her voice and I don't know what yet. However for a huge pop song, this is actually really good. Hope it does well.
