It's going to be great."
Trainor is no stranger to receiving criticism about her lyrics. Her debut single "All About That Bass," which
peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks last year, got similar criticism from feminists for
shaming skinny women and relying on men for positive body image.
