Meghan Trainor has shared a new single.
I Wanna Thank Me features actress and producer Niecy Nash-Betts, and marks the latest taster of the Grammy Award-winning artist's sixth album, 'Timeless', which is due out on June 7.
Inspired by Nash-Betts' 2023 Emmy Awards acceptance speech, the empowering doo-wop pop bop follows To The Moon and the T-Pain collaboration Been Like This in previewing the record. Trainor commented:
"I think we often forget to take time to appreciate the hard work we’ve done – when I heard Niecy’s speech at the Emmys, I was so moved and so inspired. I knew I had to write a song about it. I still can’t believe I got to work with THE Niecy Nash-Betts in my studio AND have her amazing wife and daughter sing on the song with me! It was a moment I’ll cherish forever. Working with her and getting to know her has been a dream come true as I have been a huge fan of hers for so many years! I’m too excited for everyone to hear this empowering anthem!"
"Meghan is not only a friend but an incredible and super talented artist so I am thrilled that she was inspired by my Emmy Speech and wanted to do a collab together," added Nash Betts. "Who would think that our two different worlds would collide in the music space, but here we are with a whole song together, I Wanna Thank Me is a whole vibe, with significant meaning and we’re excited about sharing this exciting moment of empowerment with our fans, this is just the beginning for me in this music space so get ready, I think it’s time for a Grammy too!"
Trainor will support the LP with a North American tour of the same name in the fall. Support on select dates will come from Natasha Bedingfield, Paul Russell, Chris Olsen and Ryan Trainor. She'll also play the Capital FM Summertime Ball at London's Wembley Stadium in June. Tickets are on sale now.
