was released on Trainor's 2014 Title EP. The song features kitschy lyrics

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.
