my little puppy's going to come on tour with us.
I love that. Okay. Her name is Biggie. Biggie. It's great. Like Biggie Small. Is Biggie potty trained?
Yep. She's pretty good. She's not bad.
You're making, you're making hit songs. Forget about the potty training. It's fine.
She's like I don't know where I am. I'm going to poop right here. I would believe that. You know I've been that girl. That's fantastic. Scratching my mom.
I'm Mr. I'm Oliver Trevin here with Young Hollywood, the gorgeous, the bubbly, the lovely Meghan Trainor. How are you? Yes, that you just walked in here. It was just wonderful. You just like lit up the whole room.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Um, exciting times. Your second album.
Oh yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
It's out soon. It is. It is. I've listened to the record, which you know because what you do, my favorite. Mom was nice though. Mom was nice as well. You're on it. How is this different to your first record?
Oh, it's so different as you can already tell.
Well, as I can tell, but for you, I mean, it's got more. It's got a bit more funk. It's still got the Meghan Trainor sass and you know, it's me. But uh, I love how artists like Bruno Mars can do different genres and every album you hear the progression and you hear like the he's slapping you in the face. It's like, listen to this. My name is no. My number is no. You need to let it go. You need to let it go. Need to let it go. I tell her I tell her no, no, no. And you're very hands on as well. Co-producer, you know, very hands on with all your songs and music which which which shows because you've just got, it's just Meghan Trainor when you listen to it.
That's all I'm going for.
Exactly, which is good. Stick with it. Yeah. I don't like yeah, some artists you'll hear stuff that you're like, huh? Right. And this was just one producer for the record, right?
Uh, no. But uh, there is one producer that did the majority of them. I asked him like, will you oversee every song and help me on every song? Ricky Reed. And he killed it.
Lots of success. Jason Derulo.
Oh yeah. I've been a fan of his for a while. Since you know, wallpaper. I didn't know wallpaper. He's him as the artist. And when I was in high school, they had that song. Best song ever. It's a swear word. And I would party. I would guess that was a swear word. And it was a party song and I remember just in high school just drinking away, you know. So that's how.
Did you, did you do that in high school? You'd have a drink and then go.
Oh yeah. You'd be like, best song ever, you know. That should be a song as well. If I'm going to do, I feel like you should be as well. Yeah. That's all day. We've written three. We're going to be so rich. So rich. So rich. Load of money. Loads of money. And uh, me too.
Yes, me too. You don't even heard it. I haven't heard me too because I couldn't hear me too.
I'll play it for you.
You play it for me. I'll get a little secret inside.
I have a music video and everything. Every day. I woke up feeling this way. And I can't help loving myself. And I don't need nobody else.
What's your favorite? Do you have a personal favorite song on this new record? That's a tough question. It's like asking a parent to pick a favorite child. Right. Parents still have a favorite child.
They do. They just don't tell it. Yeah, you're the favorite. Um, I like.
You're my parent's favorite child and you're not even my child. Yeah. Great. Love it. Parents love me. It's insane. My favorite song right now is this is your song, you mean? I'm talking about your song. Of course. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Oh panic. I'm not going to go pick something. I like. What do we like? Oh, better. Yeah. We've been bumping better extra in the car lately with you. And then your tour coming up. Untouchable tour. Very exciting. Untouchable. Isn't that nice? Untouchable. Such a lovely word. Untouchable. Sounds so cute. Untouchable. Even though it's just not that inviting. Really?
Well, untouchable. I'm untouchable. Don't try and touch me. You know? Come to the show and try.
Okay. I will. Oh, I will. We've got it on camera. So I'm allowed. It's pretty. Um, when you're on the road, what three things can't you do without?
My little puppy's going to come on tour with us. I love that. I've never done that. So we'll see how she does that. Her name is Biggie.
Biggie. It's great. Like Biggie Small. Is Biggie potty trained?
Yep. Okay. Sure. She's pretty good. She's not bad.
You're making you're making hit songs. Forget about the potty training.
She's like I don't know where I am. I'm going to poop right here.
Um, we're going to discover some things about you. I'm going to pull out this card. It's going to be like get to know you better. Did you like that? It's a magic trick. It's magic. It's magic. Ready? Do it again. Yes. Who's an undiscovered artist on your radar that we might not know about?
Jon Bellion. Oh, I don't know about him. Right. Okay. Jon Bellion. J. O. N. Bellion. I can see Jojo giving it one of those as well. That's all we listen to. That's my dude. He is unbelievable. He uh, told me, I think that he mixes sounds like Kanye West with The Cab. Like Death Cab for Cutie, all those like indie rock, punk rock stuff mixed with like hardcore drums and I love it. And um, he's out on SoundCloud. You can go check him out there. But he's officially putting out his big album soon. That's the that's the closest I've ever heard. He's written songs like Monster by Rihanna and M&M.
Wow.
Yeah, he was a writer on that. And uh, Trumpets by Jason Derulo. He's a very good songwriter.
Speaking of songwriter, you've just had a number one in the country charts. Did you write it?
I did. Yes, Rascal Flatts. You forgot about that? I just.
You forget about that. Just that's just a normal day for you now. Just like number one number one number one. Tell me something I don't know.
No, that was crazy cuz I was like 19, 18. I was a baby when I wrote that. And I thought like, you know what, I was like, oh my god, it's a Rascal Flatts cut. I didn't think it would be a single. Right. And then it was a single and then it was number one. It was the same time that No came out. So I was like, wow, I'm a pop star with my second album coming out. My first single and as a songwriter, I have this song over here on the number one country. And all my friends are texting me like, Meghan, who's history? I love it. I love what you like. Maybe I want like a little Meghan doll.
Thank you. That does all the little things. Right. Yeah. Thank you. That's all I do. when you when you didn't want to swear. You did something. You like it was different. It was a. Get it right, man. It's a different. That's what we're doing. Um, what's your favorite social media platform? Cuz you're huge on Snapchat. Is that your favorite now?
