About Mom (feat. Kelli Trainor)

This “mom song” is one that can bring emotion and fun. This song is showing Meghan’s thanks to her mom for being the best mom she can. She is also expressing the love her mom gives towards her, to her fans and of course, her mother!

Meghan Trainor's mom, Kelli, earns a vocal credit on this tune thanks to the inclusion of a phone call between her and her lead-artist daughter. The "All About That Bass" singer explained to OfficialCharts.com how the collaboration happened: "With that session, I wrote and produced the song with my little brother at home. I then took it to this big producer called Johan Carlsson who I love, and I asked him to beef it up. We re-wrote the verses and beefed up the production with real horns, because it's a doo-wop-y song, but we didn't have bridge for it. He suggested we call her up and record her on a big microphone, so I called her and said, 'I really love you mum... tell me how much you love me!', and we recorded her response and cut it up. I've played it to a few people and they just break."
