Title is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer-songwriter
Meghan Trainor (pictured). Trainor wrote all of its songs with its
producer, Kevin Kadish. The two conceived the EP shortly after Trainor
signed with Epic Records in 2014. The label released it on September 9,
2014. Inspired by doo-wop from the 1950s, Title comprises songs that lie
between modern R&B; and melodic pop. The EP has a lyrical theme of
commitment and staying true to oneself, which Trainor hoped would
empower women. It includes Trainor's debut single, "All About That
Bass", which reached number one in 58 countries with worldwide sales of
11 million units. Title garnered mixed reviews from critics, who
thought its tracks had potential for commercial success, but considered
the lyrics too repetitive and questioned Trainor's musicality. The EP
debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200. Trainor promoted Title by
performing its tracks on television shows and her concert tours.
