I WILL say that, having had this thought today, that "Title" is probably one of the most lyrically-on-brand songs she has that manages to be both authentic and put a spin on the "confidence" thing. Like, "Title" is quintessentially everything that works about Meghan and her appeal in an authentic way. So like "duh" to the rest of us. I agree. Remember that I'm saying that in the context of these songs that have reviewers saying are commercialized versions of feminism with hollow anthemic lyrics. "Title" is a gem that stands out. (Note that aside from the two singles I haven't listened to the album yet.)

So the "controversy" got me to at least watch the video. But IMHO the song sounds like an reject novelty song from the 80's. Abort this one, next single please...

Now that I notice that she says "if I was you" when it's supposed to be "were," it's bugs me, but still loving this track! The second verse is my favourite!

I'm surprised at how decent this song was. I was expecting another turd after she released that God awful "no" mess.
The video was almost okay, except she insists on this whole "let me be glamorous" and pretending she's Britney with the dance scenes. if she deleted every scene including that blue skort/dress disaster it would be a much better video. if she looked like herself and had backup dancers that were her size I don't think she would look bad at all.

Slightly but slowly growing on me, still one of her weakest singles.

Definitely not as bad as people are making it seem, but it's another bad chorus though :\

Totally my guilty pleasure at the moment, quite like the video too! This really reminds me of something though, well the chorus.

Being on here makes me feel like I have such bad taste lol.
I like this song! Definitely get the will.i.am and Trouble For Me comparisons, I'm trying to think of something else it reminds me of.
I think the spoken chorus works well here too! And the longer hair does wonders, even though I still wish she were blonde.
This is not the direct I saw her going, and it's not the best song, but I'm not complaining, just jamming!

This song is a total jam! I'm no surprised at all the backlash on here especially when certain groups gang up against a song. This song will be massive this summer. It's catchy and most importantly current. This era will be big for her.

Pulse is gonna be so mad once this becomes a hit. You're the one here who seems to really care about it, darling. I don't believe anyone here is hoping she flops. As far as I know people are entitled to not enjoy a song. But I can see why you're always so mad about "general Pulse" opinions.

I'm not mad about anything actually. I'm sure those "sophomore curse" comments are mild compared to the criticisms about her weight. But hey we're all rooting for her.

Huh?? Some people... I like Meghan. I liked AATB, LAM, LIGLY, MG. I didn't like DFH as much because I always heard Runaround Sue instead. I liked NO too. Matter of fact I've blasted it in my car four times this week. I really thought it was gonna be a major it. The video was problematic but the song was good, so the way radio dropped it like a hot potato is certainly concerning. I hated MT when I first heard it. I like it a bit more now but I still don't have a positive opinion about it and thus I think it's her worst single to date. The video is pretty good though. I like her dancing scenes too. She seems to enjoy it. The song just sounds dated and not good, almost parody-like, or something I'd hear from like Aqua or Mr Frog lol The only part I dig is the pre-chorus, which somewhat reminds me of Ain't no other man. I hope she somehow gets a hit out of this but in pretty concerned

Maybe this Photoshop drama will give her a streaming hit.

Uhhh...this is pretty terrible. The rest of her songs are annoyingly catchy. This one is just annoying, though.

My god, this is one of the stupidest songs I have ever heard. Listen, it's okay to like yourself, there's nothing wrong with doing that. However, Trainor presumably doesn't understand the difference between doing that and outright gloating, especially when the gloating is done in such a clearly manufactured way. I'm pretty sure at this point the team has no idea what to market Meghan as, especially with No flopping, so they just decided to take the idea of self confidence, like she has been promoting, blow it up to 10, and then create a fake photoshop contraversy so the song will get noticed in some way. I really hope that within 5 Meghan Trainor not only has no career, but the public looks back on the fact that she ever did and laughs. That being said, despite how insanely annoying the chorus (along with the rest of the song) is, it's super catchy. It's already stuck in my head

If I never hear NO again, I'll be fine but this is pure ear candy and has been stuck on repeat for me. I hope it smashes.
