Critical reaction to "All About That Bass" was mixed: some publications named it one of the best songs of 2014, while others called it a novelty song and opined that it failed to promote positive body image as it intended to. The song was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. In the US, "All About That Bass" spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also topped the charts in various countries including Australia, Canada, and the UK, and was the fourth best-selling song of 2014 with sales of 11 million copies worldwide.

Fatima Robinson directed the accompanying music video for "All About That Bass", which was released on June 10, 2014. Featuring 1950s-inspired aesthetics, particularly a pink pastel backdrop, the video played an important role in the song's rise to prominence. The song inspired various parodies and cover versions, including covers from Canadian singer Justin Bieber and former Pentatonix member Avi Kaplan. Contemporary publications such as Vogue felt that "All About That Bass" was influential to the "Era of the Big Booty", when women deemed prominent buttocks attractive. Trainor performed the song on various shows including The X Factor UK and the Jingle Ball Tour 2014 and included it on the That Bass, MTrain and The Untouchable Tour set lists.

Writing and production

Meghan Trainor co-wrote "All About That Bass" with American songwriter Kevin Kadish in 40 minutes.[1] At the time, Trainor had yet to obtain a recording contract and was writing tracks for other artists.[2][3] Kadish recalled that his writing session with Trainor was "a blind date" with a strong chemistry, thanks to their mutual love for music from the 1950s and 1960s.[4] Intending to give it to another artist, Trainor would later release it as her debut single.[5] Kadish initially proposed the song's title to be "All Bass, No Treble".[1] Trainor was in a phase of saying "I'm all about that Mexican food", and responded to Kadish with the track's hook, "I'm all about that bass, no treble".[6][7] Trainor said to him, "Let's do booty! And thickness! Like, it's about the bass, not the treble".[6]

Trainor and Kadish wanted to incorporate influences of 1950s doo-wop, a genre that Trainor found catchy.[3][8] Kadish then developed a modern beat for the song and Trainor freestyled the first verse.[3] Lyrically, Trainor wanted the song to promote girl power and self-acceptance of body type,[9] the latter being inspired by her own struggles in self-image as a teenager,[3] to which Kadish also related.[1] Further inspired by Bruno Mars's "Just the Way You Are" (2010), a song about self-empowerment, Trainor wrote the lyrics criticizing the use of photoshopped images on beauty magazines.[6][10]

Epic Records chairman L.A. Reid decided that Trainor's demo should remain the track's final version with additional mastering.

Although Trainor and Kadish were satisfied with their work on the song, they doubted its commercial prospects.[3] They pitched the song to a few record labels, who felt that the song would not be successful because of its retro-styled composition and wanted it reproduced with synthesizers.[11][12] Trainor recorded a demo of the song for Paul Pontius, who was the A&R for Epic Records chairman L.A. Reid. She later performed the song, accompanying herself on an ukulele, in front of Reid; she was signed with Epic Records by Reid 20 minutes later.[1] Reid decided that the demo should remain the track's final cut, with additional mastering.[1][13] Trainor's vocals were recorded by Kadish, at The Carriage House in Nolensville, Tennessee, who was also responsible for the track's mixing, programming, sound design, and engineering. The song's instrumentation includes electric guitar, bass, and drums played by Kadish, as well as piano, baritone, saxophone, and Hammond organ played by David Baron. Trainor provided the track's clapping and additional percussion. The song was mastered by David Kutch at The Mastering Palace, New York City.[14]

Release

"All About That Bass" served as Trainor's debut single, and appeared on her debut extended play, Title (2014), and 2015 major-label studio album of the same name.[15][16] The single was first digitally released in several countries on June 30, 2014.[17] Epic Records serviced the song to contemporary hit radio and urban contemporary radio in the United States on July 1, 2014.[18] Streaming and digital release dates were held back on different dates for the song to increase download sales in the United Kingdom.[19] The song was made available for streaming on Spotify in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2014, as well as for digital download on September 28, 2014.[19][20] An "All About That Bass" EP was released in German-speaking Europe on October 3, 2014.[21][22] The EP featured the tracks "Title", "Dear Future Husband", and "Close Your Eyes" as its b-sides.[23] On the same day, a CD single for the song was issued in Germany, with only "Title" as its b-side.[24]

An alternate version of "All About That Bass" was recorded by Trainor, with more family-friendly lyrics for its impact on Radio Disney in the United States.[25] Trainor and Kadish agreed to this on the condition that it be relegated to Radio Disney and not be made available for purchase.[4] Radio Disney vice-president of programming, Phil Guerini, felt the alternate version ensured support from their targeted kids and family audience. This version was later used on adult contemporary radio in the United States.[25]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"All About That Bass" is a bubblegum pop, doo-wop and retro-R&B song.[26][27][28] Using the 4/4 time signature with a tempo of 134 beats per minute, the song's key signature is in A major; Trainor's vocals span from E3 to C♯5. The song follows a basic chord progression of A–Bm–E–A invoking a throwback musical style of the 1950s and 1960s.[29][30][31] Critics noted influences from a variety of genres, including hip hop, country and rock and roll.[30][31] It was also noted to have an earworm hook, early 1960s soul-pop and groove influences, a scatting tempo and shimmying melody.[32][33][34] Trainor delivers a hint of Caribbean reggae in addition to a variety of background vocal and rapping techniques.[35][36] Wordless vocal ad-libs in the song's outro feature Trainor pitching down an echoing "bass, bass, bass" at the end of the chorus mark.[35] The vocals of "All About That Bass" have been compared to the harmonies of 1960s girl groups and vintage 1950s singers Betty Everett, Doris Day, Eydie Gormé and Rosemary Clooney.[34] "All About That Bass" has also been described as melodically similar to the 2006 song "Happy Mode" by South Korean group Koyote, and both songs have been noted for their similarity to the 1989 song "Contact" by American rock band Phish.[37][38][39]

According to some, including the singer, the lyrics of "All About That Bass" provide a callout to embrace inner beauty, and to promote a positive body image and self-acceptance.[40][41][42] The line "I'm bringing booty back" references Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" (2006),[35] and the line "All the right junk in all the right places" OneRepublic's "All the Right Moves" (2009). In the song, Trainor criticizes the fashion industry for creating unreachable standards of beauty.[43] Its lyrical message has been compared to Kesha's "We R Who We R" (2010), Pink's "Fuckin' Perfect" (2010) and, Sara Bareilles' "Brave" (2013), among others.[44] The song was further compared to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" (1992), and other 2014 songs "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj and "Booty" by Jennifer Lopez for its references to the female derriere.[45] "All About That Bass" has also been regarded as a modern version of American singer Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" (2002).[10]

Critical reception

A variety of critics predicted it as a strong candidate to be 2014's "Song of the Summer".[30][31] It was later awarded the title in a poll held by NBC's Today in September 2014.[46] Yahoo! writer Paul Grein deemed it "one of the biggest and best 'message' songs of recent times".[47] The Guardian journalist Caroline Sullivan stated that the song was significant on combating "the media-propagated notion" that only small buttocks are sexy and said the track had the "aura of a hard-won victory against self doubt".[10] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters commended the track's lyrics for showcasing Trainor's personality and wrote that it was "one of the funnest songs" of 2014.[36] Erik Ernst of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called it "universally catchy" and "shamelessly dance-ready".[48] Gary Trust of Billboard felt that the song sounded completely different from every other pop song on radio at the time.[49] Forbes journalist Hugh McIntyre described it as "insanely catchy," "easy-to-love" and "heartwarming," adding that it would be an interesting song for young children to listen to, while praising Trainor's lyrics choice.[50]

Beejoli Shah of The Guardian stated the song has "instantly-memorable" lyrics and an "addictive" bass line, but saw it as a novelty song.[51] Jon Carmanica of The New York Times echoed Shah's view and called "All About That Bass" a "cheeky novelty hit," and quipped, "'I'm bringing booty back,' she sings, though there's probably already a line forming to assure her it never went anywhere".[52] In a mixed review, Slate journalist Chris Molanphy commended the lyric "Every inch of you is perfect / From the bottom to the top," which he felt was "effortlessly memorable".[34] He went on to compliment Kadish's production on the song and felt that he created a "wispy tune in vintage white-girl, Italo-Latin soul, expertly aping the sound of peak Rosemary Clooney and Eydie Gormé".[34] However, Molanphy was critical of the track's use of the word "treble" as a metaphor and concluded, "Let's just hope Trainor's gross misuse of 'treble' as a metaphor doesn't wreck the word's definition for a generation".[34] In a negative review, Time named "All About That Bass" the sixth worst song of 2014.[53]

Recognition and controversy

"All About That Bass" garnered praise from a variety of Trainor's contemporaries, including Beyoncé, Becky G, Colbie Caillat, Maejor Ali, Miranda Lambert, and T-Pain.[6][9][54][55][56][57] Cosmopolitan ranked it at number 17 on their "Best Songs of 2014" list.[58] In the annual Pazz and Jop mass critics poll of the year's best songs in 2014, "All About That Bass" was ranked at number 23.[59] The song was nominated in the category Best Song with a Social Message at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, but lost to Beyoncé's "Pretty Hurts".[60] It was nominated in the category for Favorite Song at the 41st People's Choice Awards.[61] At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, the song was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, losing both to Sam Smith's "Stay with Me" (Darkchild version).[62][63]

The song's lyrics became a subject of controversy among music critics who felt that the song did not promote a positive body image as Trainor intended.[44][64] Trainor was accused of anti-feminism and shaming thin women in the song.[64][65] Kris Ex of Complex said that the track "jacked both the stereotyped body priorities of black beauty and the codes of black slang".[66] Naomi Schaefer Riley of the New York Post dubbed the song as "faux empowerment" and wrote, "feminists want her to know she's not going to get away with it".[67] Kelsey McKinney of Vox felt that some verses in "All About That Bass" uplifted ideas of body positivity and self-worth while destroying those ideals in others by putting down other women.[64] The Independent writer Yomi Adegoke said that the song's replacement of one ideal with another was a poor representation of body positivity, and felt that its enforcement that "real men love curves" was insulting.[68]

Trainor responded, "I didn't work this hard to hate on skinny people, I wrote the song to help my body confidence—and to help others".[3][8] PopMatters writer Evan Sawdey defended the song, writing, "This song is so positive, so energetic, and so universal—it's something people of all shapes and sizes can get behind".[36] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian wrote that the fact critics took offense to the song's lyrical content, manifested the delicacy of the issue of body image.[10]

Music video

Background and concept

"All About That Bass" was accompanied by a music video directed by Fatima Robinson and choreographed by Charm La'Donna. The clip was shot over a two-day period which began on May 8, 2014.[118][119] It was premiered online by music website Idolator on June 10, 2014.[31] Robinson conceptualized the clip's look "with pastel colors", trying to show Trainor as "a little innocent-looking girl doing, like, booty-bumping dance moves", to which Trainor agreed.[2] Robinson and Trainor wanted to make the visual as fun as possible to co-relate with the song's lyrical themes.[2] When Trainor first received the video, she cried, and said, "I don't want to do this anymore".[1] As a result, Trainor was involved in performing several edits to the clip because she disapproved on some of its shots and felt her face looked "weird" in some segments.[1] She later approved of the video's final edit and felt that it depicted her as a "pop star".[1] Trainor said she envisioned it as "a[n] [adorable] cartoon" she would play, but then the video became "bigger than anyone expected, it's like, crap, I have to kind of look like that now".[120]

Social media played a key role in how the video was made and marketed.[121] Robinson discovered one of the video's dancers, Sione Maraschino, online through the now-defunct social media service Vine, where Maraschino rose to popularity. Maraschino later shared the "All About That Bass" music video with his followers on Twitter and YouTube, which became a contributing factor to the clip going viral.[121] Trainor stated she could not dance and that Robinson "made [her] a rock star in two days".[119] She added, "Charm made up most of those dance moves, and taught me how to perform and [told me to] 'make sure you smile!'"[55]

Synopsis
Trainor and her accompanying dancers performing intricate choreography in front of a pink pastel-colored backdrop in the music video for "All About That Bass".

Predominantly, the music video comprises candy colors and choreography, as well as a pastel 1950s-theme.[9][52] It features Trainor in an uncharacteristic wardrobe of sweaters and white ankle socks.[120] It opens with Trainor dancing in front of a pink pastel backdrop. She sports a light blue collared sweater beneath a sundress of the same color, and a material bow headpiece. The clip then switches to a scene with Trainor wearing a headpiece made of roses and a light pink collared sweater beneath a sundress of the same color. The video returns to the original scene where Trainor engages in a dance scene with four other female dancers who sport similar outfits to hers. The scene later sees the five women dancing while sitting on chairs. The routine is intercepted with Maraschino donning a white collared shirt and light blue shorts performing a dance sequence on his own, which includes him doing split acrobatics. Three women, wearing platinum blonde wigs that cover their forehead and eyes, are also pictured in their own dance routine.

In another scene, Trainor, with her hair now loose, sports a yellow sweater and sings in front of a variety of colorful balloons and on top of a wide range of colored material. The singer is also pictured at a dining table topped with candy, offering a young man a cupcake and forcing him to smile with her hands. Two children, in a separate scene, are shown playing with dolls in a dollhouse, dancing in a bedroom and riding bicycles. Trainor is later seen posing next to the dollhouse, and while singing, "I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll," she tosses the doll across the room. In another segment, other girls are pictured smiling while holding magazines with their faces on the front covers.

Reception

The music video resulted in "All About That Bass" rising to prominence as a viral hit.[9] Jim Farber of the New York Daily News observed "the 'debate' over [Trainor's] size—is she too big? Too small?—has taken on a life of its own" in the comment section of the video on YouTube.[8] It was YouTube's most-streamed music video for most of September and October 2014, and was the ninth most-viewed music video on the website for 2014.[34][122] It was Vevo's second most-streamed music video of the year, behind Iggy Azalea's "Fancy".[123]

The music video garnered generally favorable reviews from music critics. Yahoo! writer Paul Grein opined that the clip was the leading candidate to win Best Song with a Social Message at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.[47] Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles stated that her readers and staff saw Trainor as an ambassador for embracing creativity and individuality.[121] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters deemed the video "fun and buoyant".[36] Jon Carmanic of The New York Times opined that the video "bolstered" the song and called it "vivid".[52] Idolator's Robbie Daw praised the clip's "memorable" dance routine and vintage aesthetic.[55] Out journalist Stacy Lambe described it as "a retro pop world that makes you want to dance in your seat",[30] and according to Erin Kean from Salon, the clip "offer[ed] a hard sell for" the song.[124]

Lauren Valenti of Marie Claire felt that the video put an end to the unattainable standards of the beauty industry.[125] USA Today writer Brian Mansfield described the clip as "'Baby Got Back'-meets-'Beauty School Dropout'",[33] while Stereogum's Chris DeVille commented, "the video, for all its foibles, is both cute and effective".[35] Billboard writer Andrew Hampp described the clip as "slyly satirical";[126] Julie Zeilinger of the same publication gave the clip a negative review, and wrote that Trainor was "mimicking music videos by the 'silicone Barbie dolls' her song references".[127] Zeilinger opined that the clip's body imagery should have imparted a different message and stated that Trainor "points out the focus on women's appearance... by focusing on women's appearance".[127] Emma Garland of Vice opined that it was fun, safe and easily palatable. However, she felt that the clip did not require much thought and dismissed its choreography as the kind "year 2 schoolgirls would invent".[128] Diana Cook of Cracked considered the video for the song an example of skinny-bashing and noted a double standard: "imagine if Taylor Swift started singing about how boys prefer her awesome pert ass, while dancing around a chubby chick ... the Internet would explode".[129] The Fader placed the music video third in their list of "Music's 8 Most Cringe-Worthy Acts Of Cultural Appropriation In 2014".[130]

As of April 2020, the video is the 32nd most viewed YouTube video of all time with over 2.3 billion views.[131]

I hated life. I didn't want to go to school. I get bullied. And then I heard your song and I cried'".[12] Following the song's rise to prominence, its co-writer and producer, Kevin Kadish, was signed to Sony/ATV Music Publishing in October 2014.[147] Sony/ATV CEO, Martin Bandier, stated, "'All About That Bass' is clearly one of the biggest songs of the year and we know there is a lot more to come from him".[148] According to Billboard, the song's success "also brought acclaim" to Trainor's label, Epic, by becoming the label's first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 since Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" (2007).[78]

"All About That Bass" along with "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj (left) and "Booty" by Jennifer Lopez (right) were recognized by a variety of publications for playing into pop culture's "Era of the Big Booty".

The success of "All About That Bass" prompted Kris X of Vogue to state: "We're Officially in the Era of the Big Booty".[66] On September 23, 2014, Steven J. Horowitz of Billboard wrote that "booty records" had "made a mainstream comeback thanks to records like Jennifer Lopez's 'Booty' and Meghan Trainor's 'All About That Bass'".[45] Erika Ramirez of the same publication placed "All About That Bass" fifth in her list, Top 10 Moments of the Year in Ass, and deemed it 2014's "most catchy self-love song".[149] The coinciding release of "All About That Bass" and Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" in the United Kingdom resulted in a chart battle dubbed by British publications as "the battle of the booty songs".[150][151] Rolling Stone journalist Steve Knopper wrote, "If we assume the latest sing-about-your-butt trend in pop music has finally reached its, uh, conclusion, the unquestionable winner is Meghan Trainor's 'All About That Bass'".[152] Sullivan opined that the three songs signaled a shift in mindset in pop history, where female artists frequently endured "scrutiny" from society for their weight.[10] Yomi Adegoke of The Independent wrote that the tracks helped "curves" reach the forefront of pop culture.[68] On November 11, 2014, it was reported that American company Booty Pop experienced a 47% increase in demand as a result. A New York doctor, Matthew Schulman, told Billboard that Brazilian buttock augmentation plastic surgery had risen by 25% at his practice in 2014. Boston entrepreneur and gym instructor Kelly Brabants stated in an interview with the magazine that she experienced a waiting list for her Booty by Brabants class. Brabants went on to opine, "It's not about being stick-thin anymore, every girl now wants a booty".[153]

Parodies

The song's "smash hit status", according to Jason Lipshutz of Billboard, made it a popular focus of "viral videos and musical tributes".[56] On December 1, 2014, in an episode of Canadian comedy series This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the cast made a parody music video of the song, releasing it as a Conservative political ad smearing the Federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, with the video titled "Just a Pretty Face".[154] On December 7, 2014, Nerdist Industries released a parody song "All About That Base: No Rebels", performed by Team Unicorn. Their video comprised a Star Wars theme and its premise sees men, depicted as stormtroopers, engaging in choreography alongside cheerleaders dressed in attire inspired by the fictional character Darth Vader. Mitchell Peters of Billboard opined that the parody was "catchy" and "hilarious".[155] On December 12, 2014, a parody music video by NASA entitled "All About That Space" went viral. The video featured NASA interns performing choreography and shots of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The parody also comprised altered lyrics written by Sarah Schlieder. NASA's parody video attained over one million views in four days. Lee Moran of the New York Daily News called the rendition "wonderfully a-dork-able".[156] The high amount of parodies created eventually led to Time publishing an article titled "No More 'All About That Bass' Parodies, Please" on December 15, 2014.[157] An addition parody was done by Randy Turnbow, "All About That Borg", which portrays Pickard, Worf, and several Borg Drones dancing to Star Trek themed lyrics with the Meghan Trainor melody, and features an interesting mashup of the original series Star Trek music played with the current "All About That Bass" supporting accompaniment. It is viewable at Randy Turnbow's channel on YouTube.

Cover versions

On August 4, 2014, American boy band Emblem3 performed an acoustic cover of "All About That Bass".[158] The Roots covered the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on August 20, 2014. Their rendition was deemed "angelic" by Chris Payne of Billboard.[159] Canadian singer Justin Bieber posted a cover version of "All About That Bass" on his SoundCloud on October 15, 2014.[160] In early September 2014, Kate Davis performed the song and played double bass under the leadership of pianist Scott Bradlee; in three months their 1940s jazz-style version, called "All About that (Upright) Bass", had received 8 million views on Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox YouTube channel.[161][162][163] On October 24, 2014, American group Pentatonix's Avi Kaplan released his cover version of the song online. Kaplan's rendition was positively reviewed by James Grebey of Spin who wrote, "Trainor's tune sounds very different a few octaves lower," and added, "We think it might just be an improvement".[164] "All About That Bass" was also covered by Jamaican-American singer Anita Antoinette during the seventh season of the American series The Voice, receiving praise by the show's judges Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine. Ashley Lee of Billboard wrote that Antoinette provided the song with "a reggae twist".[165] In the beginning of 2016, Trainor and James Corden performed a parody of the song about failed New Year's resolutions on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[166]

Two cover versions entered the UK Singles Chart around the same time as Trainor's version, by Power Music Workout and Meghan Tonjes.[167]
