"All About That Bass"
Song

"All About That Bass" is the debut single by Meghan Trainor. It was released by Epic Records in June 2014.

The song depicts "skinny" as overrated and promotes body acceptance and celebrates men and women of all sizes and shapes.

Reception

Since its release, "All About That Bass" has received mixed reviews from critics. Robbie Daw of Idolator commented, "Adorable video aside, we say that “All About That Bass,” with its blend of country, pop and throwback rock ‘n’ roll, has just the type of unique sound to break through the EDM rut radio seems to be stuck in." Meanwhile, Joe Hatfield of Pop Appraisal critiqued the song's blatant "skinny shaming" tendencies, remarking: "Though “All About That Bass” will be a summer hit, Trainor’s ablity to be inclusive and have mass appeal will potentially be tainted by her youthful ignorance to celebrate all body types."
