Meghan Trainor is back yâall and demanding respect with sassy new track âNo Excuses.â The 24-year-old songstress stopped by On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Thursday, March 1, to discuss the jam and her forthcoming third studio album.
âNo Excusesâ is about female empowerment and blasting sexism and mansplaining. The power anthem, Meghan shared with Ryan, is her âsassiestâ song yet.
âItâs classic Meghan Trainor sassy girl," she shared in-studio. "The rest of the album is just a love album and fun and of course my dance songs. [Thereâs] only one ballad and itâll make you cry for days, but [everything else off the album is] all upbeat and every song is a dance song,â she added. âBig pop anthem.â
While âNo Excusesâ is a funky, respect-demanding empowerment jam, the majority of other songs off her upcoming LP were inspired by her new fiancĂ©, Spy Kids star Daryl Sabara. The couple got engaged ahead of her birthday this past December.
âHe was there while I was writing [the album]. He was in the studio with me for most of the songs so he got used to watching me write because month one [in of dating] I wrote âMarry Me,ââ Meghan shared of Daryl. âIâm a bit aggressive,â she joked, âIâm, like, youâre mine forever!â
Daryl, who accompanied Meghan to the studio, adorably added that Meghan even warned him early on about the songs sheâd be writing inspired by their romance.
âWhen we started dating though sheâd look at me and go, âWow, man, think of the songs!â Daryl shared.
