Meghan Trainor’s ‘timeless’ album inspired by motherhood and personal growth

Meghan Trainor’s latest album Timeless marks an important milestone in his career. A pop sensation. The album, released on June 7, 2024, is a testament to her growth as both an artist and a mother. It reflects themes of self-love, empowerment and family values. Trainor’s personal life, particularly her experiences as a mother of two young children, played a significant role in shaping the album’s creative direction.

In an interview with Apple Music, Trainor revealed that her children inspire her to be the best version of herself. She emphasized the importance of self-love and confidence. Stating “Babies are inspiring, they make me want to be the best human being I can try to be.” This feeling is reflected throughout the album. It aims to teach self-love and self-confidence to its children and listeners.

The album title “Timeless” is a nod to Trainor’s fear of death and her desire to be present for her children. She has spoken openly about her experiences as a mother. Including the challenges of balancing career and family life. Trainor has also been open about her mental health and says she takes antidepressants and sees a therapist regularly to maintain her well-being.

Musically Timeless mixes Trainor’s signature pop sound with new elements such as vintage influences and collaborations with other artists. The album contains a range of tracks. From the upbeat “Been Like This” to the more contemplative “To the Moon,” the latter is dedicated to Trainor’s youngest son, Barry Bruce Trainor. The album also includes “I Wanna Thank Me”, which samples Niecy Nash-Betts’ Emmy acceptance speech and features Nash, his daughter and his wife on backing vocals.

Throughout the album, Trainor’s emphasis on self-love and empowerment is evident. She spoke about the importance of these themes in her music. “I have my self-love pop bangers that I do in my sleep. It’s my therapy that I need for myself, it also helps people. So it’s just a win-win in as a songwriter.”
