May 24, 2024|Author: Rebecca Zamer

Meghan Trainor’s new album, “Timeless,” is filled with gems that contain messages of self-love, but she took inspiration from her first son Riley for a special song.

The singer shared with Access Daily hosts Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover how the song “To The Moon” came about from her 3-year-old’s love of space.

“The song itself ‘To The Moon’, my son Riley, he loves rockets and space and astronauts and he has this rug in his bathroom, I decorated it all to look like space” , she shared, adding, “He has this rug that says ‘To The Moon’ and I always say ‘I love you to the moon and back’ and my mom tells me that.

The clip also features special cameos from Riley and Meghan’s husband Daryl Sabara.

His sixth studio album, which is released on June 7, is followed by his “Timeless” tour with Natasha Bedingfield which begins in September. She is preparing to take her two sons with her for the tour. The “All About Tat Bass” singer shared that she gets advice from a group text filled with celebrity moms who have their kids with them on the road.

“They gave me the best advice to take my children with me. The best advice I received was, ‘Ask your bus driver if you can drill the crib on the bus,'” Meghan said. “There are so many moms there and I know Whitney Cummings is there, Jordin Sparks, Natasha Bedingfield and many others that I can’t remember at the moment.”

Although singing is Meghan’s passion, filling the seat of “American Idol” judge Katy Perry might be in her future.

“This is my dream job, please, I went everywhere saying, ‘Hey American Idol. Choose me to be a coach please or a judge. I will be the best and I will give all my heart and soul. I promise. Please choose me, choose me, love me,” she said.

Meghan’s new album, “Timeless,” which features her new single “Been Like This” featuring T-Pain, will be released on June 7.
