The M-train is officially back!
After teasing new music earlier this week, Meghan Trainor returned today (Thursday March 1) with “No Excuses,” a boy-banishing girl power anthem with a pastel-saturated video to match.
Trainor, whose spent the last two years undergoing surgeries for a vocal cord hemorrhage, also detailed the new song in an interview with People, explaining it was inspired, in part, by the #MeToo movement. “When I do look back — especially to when I was 18 and 19 in the industry, talking to older adults, mansplaining was very real, and it’s still real — you feel like you’re fighting for your word, fighting to show them you do know what you’re talking about,” she told the outlet. “I finally reached a point where I needed to write a song about it … It just reminded me we need more respect in the world, and we need more respect for each other at every age.”

Trainor last released 2016’s Thank You. A release date for her new record has yet to be announced.
