Original track is from forthcoming fourth album
Meghan Trainor has released an acoustic version of her newest single “Bad For Me” featuring Teddy Swims. The stripped back track elevates both Trainor’s impassioned vocals, as well as the vulnerable lyrics about walking away from a toxic relationship, with Swim’s vocal turn uplifting the song’s sentiment.
The accompanying video sees the pair performing the song together live in a recording studio, along with a pianist and guitarist. The setting allows fans to experience the song in a new, more intimate format while still paying homage to the whimsical world of the original music video.
Earlier this summer, Trainor announced her anxiously awaited fourth full-length album, Takin’ It Back, arriving October 21st via Epic Records. This time around, she made a conscious decision to hark back to the signature sound she introduced on her 2015 full-length debut, Title, and bring it forward to today.
To bring the record to life, she worked closely alongside a “core squad” of Gian Stone, Federico Vindver, Sean Douglas, and little brother Justin Trainor out of her own home studio. Musically, she integrates doo-wop and classic harmonies into one anthem after another taking you through her journey into marriage, motherhood, and achieving a new level of confidence.
