"All About That Bass" is a song by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was recorded for her 2014 debut EP ''Title'' and her 2015 studio album of the same name. Epic Records released it as Trainor's debut single on June 30, 2014. "All About That Bass", written by Trainor and Kevin Kadish, is a bubblegum pop and doo-wop song that draws influences from various musical genres including R&B, hip hop and country. Lyrically, it discusses positive body image although this is disputed by some. "All About That Bass" received favorable reviews from music critics for its melody and vintage sound, though some accused Trainor of anti-feminism for its lyrics. It was named one of the best songs of 2014 by several publications and received Grammy Award nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. The song sold 11 million copies worldwide, becoming the fourth best-selling song of 2014 and one of the best-selling singles of all time. Fatima Robinson directed the song's accompanying music video, a viral online success that was noted for its visuals and lighthearted nature. The song inspired a variety of viral videos and tributes, while ''Vogue'' recognized it as part of "the era of the big booty".〔 Trainor has performed it on television and at various concerts, and notable artists have recorded cover versions. Trainor regularly performed the song during her That Bass Tour (2015) and MTrain Tour (2015). ==Writing and development== Developed in 2013 by Trainor and American songwriter and producer Kevin Kadish, "All About That Bass" was written in 40 minutes. At the time the song was written, Trainor lacked a recording contract but was writing tracks for other artists. Kadish recalled the session as "a blind date" and felt they had a strong chemistry. The pair wrote the song with the intention of handing it to another recording artist.〔 Kadish then proposed the song title "All Bass, No Treble"〔 to Trainor who, at the time, was in a phase of saying "I'm all about that Mexican food." She then responded to Kadish with the track's hook, "I'm all about that bass, no treble". Suggesting the topics "booty" and thickness for the song, Trainor got inspiration from the size difference between the bottom and top sections of a bass guitar.〔〔 Trainor and Kadish discussed their love for 1950s music, and decided to incorporate the style into the song〔 along with doo-wop because Trainor felt that the genre was very catchy. Kadish then developed a modern beat for the song and Trainor began freestyling the first verse.〔 She felt encouraged by the result and pictured the song to contain a theme of girl power. Trainor intended for the song's lyrics to be about self-acceptance of body type, a theme inspired by her own struggles in self-image as a teenager.〔〔 Kadish related to Trainor's lyric ideas due to his own experiences with weight insecurities during adolescence.〔〔 Trainor wanted the track to criticize the use of photoshopped images after she saw a feature on ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' of a model whose photographs were graphically edited.〔 She obtained additional inspiration for the song from American singer Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" (2010) and The Chordettes' "Lollipop" (1958). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All About That Bass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
