Amid eager anticipation from fans, Meghan Trainor officially released her new single “No Excuses” Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
The song, which features her signature lyrical style, throwback vibe and self-assurance, serves as the lead single from her forthcoming third album.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love how so many women are standing up for what\u2019s right,\u201d says the Grammy-winning Trainor in an official press release. \u201cI wanted to write us all a powerful anthem. Sometimes, people talk down to me, because I\u2019ve only been doing this for four years, so I wrote this song. It\u2019s my modern version of \u2018R-E-S-P-E-C-T.\u2019 It\u2019s all about equality and being kind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the audio, Trainor debuted the official music video for the song (watch it below).<\/p>\n
Trainor, who recently wrapped her first season as a panelist on “The Four,” will be promoting “No Excuses” on Thursday’s “Daily Pop,” Friday’s “Ellen DeGeneres Show,” and this coming Monday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”<\/p>\n
Trainor’s forthcoming album will be the follow-up to her platinum-certified “Thank You.” Said sophomore album spawned singles in “NO,” “Me Too,” and “Better.”<\/p>\n
In between the two album cycles, Trainor released “I’m A Lady” from the “SMURFS: The Lost Village” soundtrack.<\/p>\n
