Young Hollywood

I love that. Okay. Her name is Biggie. Biggie. It's great. Like Biggie Small. Is Biggie potty trained?

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

Yep. She's pretty good. She's not bad.

Young Hollywood

You're making, you're making hit songs. Forget about the potty training. It's fine.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

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.

Young Hollywood

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.

Oh yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

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?

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

Oh, it's so different as you can already tell.

Young Hollywood

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.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

That's all I'm going for.

Young Hollywood

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?

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

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.

Young Hollywood

Lots of success. Jason Derulo.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

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.

Young Hollywood

Did you, did you do that in high school? You'd have a drink and then go.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

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.

Young Hollywood

Yes, me too. You don't even heard it. I haven't heard me too because I couldn't hear me too.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

Young Hollywood

You play it for me. I'll get a little secret inside.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

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.

Young Hollywood

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.

Meghan Trainor’s British Accent

They do. They just don't tell it. Yeah, you're the favorite. Um, I like.

Young Hollywood

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?

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.
