"All About That Bass" is the debut single of American singer-songwriter
Some music critics praised "All About That Bass"'s production and memorable message, while others called it a novelty song and criticized the failure of its lyrics to empower every body type. The song was nominated for awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. It was the best-selling song by a female artist during the 2010s in the United States, and was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also reached number one in 58 countries and received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Spain, and the United Kingdom, becoming the fourth best-selling song of 2014 with 11 million copies sold worldwide.
Fatima Robinson directed the song's music video, which features 1950s-inspired aesthetics and a pink pastel backdrop. The video was released on June 10, 2014, and played an important role in the song's rise to prominence. "All About That Bass" inspired parodies and cover versions. Trainor performed the song on television shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Country Music Association Awards, and The X Factor UK, and included it on the set lists of her concert tours That Bass Tour and MTrain Tour (2015), and The Untouchable Tour (2016).
Background
After independently releasing three albums herself between 2009 and 2010, Meghan Trainor decided to write songs for other singers because she considered herself "one of the chubby girls who would never be an artist".[2][3] In 2012, she signed a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music, a Nashville, Tennessee-based music publishing firm, and moved to Nashville the following November.[4] American songwriter Kevin Kadish met Trainor in June 2013 at the request of Carla Wallace, a co-owner of Big Yellow Dog. Kadish liked Trainor's voice and booked a writing session with her the following month.[5] He said it was "like a blind date" because they had a strong song-writing affinity and a mutual love of pop music from the 1950s and 1960s.[6]
Kadish read a list of potential song titles to Trainor, of which "All Bass, No Treble" was her favorite.[5][7] Trainor was inspired by her teenage problems with self-acceptance and body image, and suggested these as a basis for the lyrics.[4] She told Rolling Stone Kadish had experienced similar problems during his childhood and could relate to these themes.[7] She suggested a booty theme with "it's about the bass, not the treble".[8] Trainor was also inspired by Bruno Mars's "Just the Way You Are" (2010), and criticized the use of electronically edited images in beauty magazines.[8][9] Kadish played a drum beat while Trainor sang the hook, "I'm all about that bass, 'bout the bass, no treble".[4][5] Kadish and Trainor wanted to incorporate influences of 1950s doo-wop, a genre Trainor found catchy, into the song,[4][10] which they wrote within 40 minutes.[7] According to Kadish, he and Trainor equally contributed to the lyrics and melody,[5] and Kadish finished the demo of "All About That Bass" two to three days later.[1]
Although both were satisfied with the song, they doubted its commercial prospects.

The lyrics of "All About That Bass" are a call to embrace inner beauty, and to promote positive body image and self-acceptance.[29][30][31] The line "I'm bringing booty back" references Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" (2006).[25] In her song, Trainor criticizes the fashion industry for creating unreachable beauty standards.[32] She affirms the listeners their bodies are flawless, and asks them to "move along" if they are only attracted to thin women.[33] Trainor relates the form of music (bass and treble), to the human body being thicc or thin, and asserts the importance of the former. Kevin O'Keeffe of The Atlantic compared its lyrical message to those of Kesha's "We R Who We R" (2010), Pink's "Fuckin' Perfect" (2010), and Sara Bareilles' "Brave" (2013), among others.[21] The Guardian's Caroline Sullivan called "All About That Bass" a 2014 version of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" (2002).[9]

The lyrics of "All About That Bass" caused controversy; some critics called the song
Entertainment Weekly's Melissa Maerz named "All About That Bass" one of the two best tracks on Title, describing it as a "boomin' booty ode".[55] Shah praised its lyrics and bassline but felt it did not signal a long career for Trainor.[49] Writing for Spin, Dan Weiss called the song a "fluke hit" but noted it was historic and would uplift more listeners than it offended.[33] Sullivan stated that while the track's palatable nature and retro-inspired "cuteness" contributed to its success, the unwavering body-positive message of its lyrics was its biggest appeal.[9] Stereogum's Chris DeVille considered criticisms of the lyrics valid but praised the "pleasant swagger" in Trainor's expressionless delivery and its joyful nature, finding it a clever update on its retro influences.[25] Yahoo! writer Paul Grein called "All About That Bass" one of the greatest and most successful contemporaneous "message songs".[56] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters called the song optimistic, lively, and "absolutely delightful", and concluded that it was one of the most enjoyable songs of 2014.[17]

Music video
Background and concept
Synopsis
The music video has a 1950s visual theme.[48] Trainor is dressed in a pink sweater and long, white socks; she sings and dances in front of a pink backdrop.[3] In following scenes, she dances with female dancers and exaggerates her facial expressions.[22][48] Kelepi appears throughout the video; in one scene he pirouettes and performs a full split. Two girls are shown playing with dolls in a dollhouse, dancing in a bedroom, and riding bicycles. During a repetition of the line "I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll", Trainor throws away a doll.[131] Writing for Out, Stacy Lambe stated the video delivers a "retro pop world" that "makes you want to dance in your seat".[132]
Reception
Jim Farber of the
USA Today writer Brian Mansfield described the clip's theme as a fusion of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" (1992) and "Beauty School Dropout" from the 1971 musical Grease.[135] DeVille said despite its flaws, the visuals are endearing and effective.[25] Billboard writer Andrew Hampp interpreted the video as "slyly satirical".[136] Julie Zeilinger of the same magazine criticized it for drawing inspiration from the thin women Trainor criticizes in the song's lyrics, and noted that Trainor failed to acknowledge body diversity as a spectrum and instead depicted only its extremities.[137] Emma Garland of Vice found the video enjoyable, cautious, and easily digestible but she criticized its choreography.[138] Diana Cook of Cracked.com felt it displayed a double standard, saying there would be much more of a backlash if Taylor Swift created a song about men preferring smaller bodies and mocked an overweight woman eating a cupcake in its video.[139]
Robin James and Kat George of Vice found cultural appropriation in the scene where Trainor is surrounded by black women twerking; according to James, Trainor appropriates "respectable chubbiness" to improve her own body image.[140][141] The Fader's Larry Fitzmaurice shared a similar opinion and placed the video third in his list of "Music's 8 Most Cringe-Worthy Acts Of Cultural Appropriation In 2014".[142]

According to Sullivan, "All About That Bass" resulted in Trainor being viewed as "the poster girl for the larger woman" and "pop's emblem of self-acceptance".
Parodies
The success of "All About That Bass" spawned viral
The many parodies and homages led to Time publishing an article titled "No More 'All About That Bass' Parodies, Please" on December 15, 2014. In it, Daniel D'Addario attributed the song's popularity among parodists to its hook's emphasis on the words "bass" and "treble", which are easy to rhyme, and Trainor's impassioned delivery on it.[169] In early 2016, on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Trainor and Corden performed a parody of "All About That Bass" about failed New Year's resolutions.[175]
Cover versions
The Roots covered "All About That Bass" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on August 20, 2014; Chris Payne of Billboard called the performance "angelic".
