Title

Title is the debut major-label studio album by the American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was released on January 9, 2015, by Epic Records. Initially a songwriter for other artists, in 2013, Trainor signed with the label the following year and began recording material she co-wrote with Kevin Kadish. Trainor and Kadish produced the album, alongside Trainor's brother Justin, Chris Gelbuda, The Elev3n, and J. R. Rotem. The album was recorded from 2013 to 2014 at multiple studios across the United States, and was preceded by her debut extended play of the same name in 2014.

Title is a doo-wop, pop, blue-eyed soul, and R&B record, with elements of Caribbean, hip hop, reggae, and soca music. Trainor and Kadish were dissatisfied with the electronic dance music predominant in contemporary hit radio and drew influence from retro-styled 1950s and 1960s music. Inspired by past relationships and her insecurities about body image, Trainor wrote songs she wished existed before she attended high school. The songs on the album explore themes such as female empowerment, self-respect, and self-awareness.
