More about this title
About the Artist: Meghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor burst onto the pop scene in 2014 with a retro-influenced sound rooted in doo-wop, funk, and 1950s aesthetics. Her debut album established her as a songwriter and producer with a distinctive vocal style and an ear for infectious hooks that appeal across age groups. Trainor's work has made its way into countless school choral programs because her melodies sit naturally in ensemble voicings and her messages resonate with student singers.
Beyond chart success, Trainor's songwriting reveals a gift for narrative and personality. Her lyrics balance humor with genuine sentiment, and her arrangements often feature rhythmic precision and tight ensemble work that rewards careful rehearsal. For music educators, she represents a contemporary artist whose catalog bridges commercial appeal with legitimate musical substance.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the playful confidence of the original while crafting something that actually sits well for mixed voices. The pop sensibility stays front and center without requiring your ensemble to sound like a karaoke backing track. Students gravitate toward this title because it feels current and fun, yet it demands genuine musicianship in its rhythmic precision and vocal blend.
What to expect
Playful and confident. The arrangement swings with a retro-modern groove that feels cheeky and lighthearted without becoming silly. There's real charm in the vocal interplay, and the entire piece carries the energy of young singers who genuinely enjoy what they're performing.
Who it's for
Any director building a concert around contemporary pop or looking to program a title that engages students without sacrificing musical quality. High school choirs and show choirs benefit most from the rhythmic vocabulary and the opportunity to connect with material their peers actually listen to.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock in the rhythmic pocket early. This arrangement's groove depends on the ensemble committing to the written rhythms rather than pushing or dragging behind the beat.
- Balance the solo line against the background vocals. The lead needs clarity without drowning out the harmonic support that makes the arrangement work.
- Shape the phrasing around the lyrical content. The humor and sass of the text should inform how you approach dynamics and articulation, especially in the comedic moments.
- Use the accompaniment to establish tempo and feel before rehearsing with voices. Let students hear how the groove sits in the original production.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary titles to build a concert segment that proves pop music can coexist with more traditional repertoire. It works particularly well as a lighter moment in a concert, giving audiences and singers alike a chance to smile while still demonstrating musical competence. Consider programming it in the spring when student morale and confidence are high.
