About ALL THE WAYS

"All the Ways" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. The song was released on June 21, 2018, as a promotional single for the initial intended release of Trainor's third studio album, Treat Myself, and later only appeared on its Target deluxe edition following the album's 2020 release. The song was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio as the lead single from Trainor's second EP, The Love Train, on February 11, 2019. The song was written by Trainor, Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Andrew Wells, and produced by Wells. Billboard described it as fun and danceable, while Trainor stated that it was inspired by a conversation she had with her husband Daryl Sabara that always makes her smile. "All the Ways" peaked at number 16 on the US Adult Pop Songs chart, spending 13 total weeks on it. Brian Petchers directed the music video for the song, which was released on February 15, 2019, and depicts Bailee Madison going on an outing with a date. The song was used in a 2018 Target marketing campaign.

Meghan Trainor had been searching for a producer to create her upcoming third major-label studio album Treat Myself with, when she conduced the first session for it with songwriter Jacob Kasher Hindlin. He suggested that they work with then-unknown producer Andrew Wells. Trainor, who was expecting the session to go "really bad or really awesome", ended up writing the song "Let You Be Right" with them, and knew Wells "was the one". The trio subsequently wrote "All the Ways", and Wells produced it. The latter ended up collaborating with Trainor on four songs for her second EP, The Love Train (2019), two of which were co-written by Hindlin. Trainor uploaded a 20-second sample of the song to Twitter on June 19, 2018. It was digitally released as a promotional single two days later. "All the Ways" was used in a 2018 Target marketing campaign. She delayed the August 2018-scheduled release of Treat Myself to January 25, 2019, because she wanted to add more songs to it, though it was not released on that date either. In February 2019, Trainor announced the release of an EP called The Love Train, describing it as "something of an appetizer" to Treat Myself. Her reasoning was that her father told her there were "way too many love songs" on the album, which caused her to put them out as a separate project. "All the Ways" was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio as the lead single from the EP on February 11. Trainor stated in a January 2020 interview that Treat Myself will be an attempt to make a pop record that feels relevant in an era when hip-hop reigns, adding that she had written four albums worth of material trying to adapt to new trends in the music industry. She decided to include it as the 16th track on the Target deluxe edition of Treat Myself (2020).
