At the time the song was written, Trainor lacked a recording contract but was writing tracks for other artists. Kadish recalled the session as `` a blind date '' and felt they had a strong chemistry. The pair wrote the song with the intention of handing it to another recording artist. Kadish then proposed the song title `` All Bass, No Treble '' to Trainor who, at the time, was in a phase of saying `` I 'm all about that Mexican food. '' She then responded to Kadish with the track 's hook, `` I 'm all about that bass, no treble ''. Suggesting the topics `` booty '' and thickness for the song, Trainor got inspiration from the size difference between the bottom and top sections of a bass guitar. Trainor and Kadish discussed their love for 1950s music, and decided to incorporate the style into the song along with doo - wop because Trainor felt that the genre was very catchy. Kadish then developed a modern beat for the song and Trainor began freestyling the first verse. She felt encouraged by the result and pictured the song to contain a theme of girl power. Trainor intended for the song 's lyrics to be about self - acceptance of body type, a theme inspired by her own struggles in self - image as a teenager. Kadish related to Trainor 's lyric ideas due to his own experiences with weight insecurities during adolescence. Trainor wanted the track to criticize the use of photoshopped images after she saw a feature on The Ellen DeGeneres Show of a model whose photographs were graphically edited. She obtained additional inspiration for the song from American singer Bruno Mars ' `` Just the Way You Are '' ( 2010 ) and The Chordettes ' `` Lollipop '' ( 1958 ). Recording L.A. Reid tagged `` All About That Bass '' as Trainor 's debut single and decided that her demo should remain as the track 's final version with additional mastering. While Trainor and Kadish were happy with the song after it was finished, they doubted its commercial prospects. They pitched the song to a variety of recording labels, but all of them were critical that the track did not have more mainstream appeal and the production team did not make use of a synthesizer or Auto - Tune. The song was further criticized for not having a `` big chorus '', a suggestion that Trainor and Kadish balked at. With no one else interested in recording it, Trainor agreed to use the song as her own at Kadish 's suggestion. Trainor recorded a demo of the song and later met Paul Pontius -- the A&R for Epic Records chairman L.A. Reid -- and sang the track for him. Even though admittedly nervous, she next sang it for Reid while accompanying herself on the ukulele. After signing Trainor to Epic, Reid made a decision the final cut would be the same version as the demo but with additional mastering. `` All About That Bass '' was recorded at The Carriage House in Nolensville, Tennessee. Trainor 's vocals were recorded by Kadish, who was also responsible for the track 's mixing, programming, sound design, and engineering. The song 's instrumentation includes electric guitar, bass, and drums by Kadish ; and piano, baritone, saxophone, and Hammond organ by David Baron. Trainor provided the track 's clapping and additional percussion. The song was mastered by David Kutch at The Mastering Palace, New York City, New York.

It was later awarded the title in a poll held by NBC 's Today in September 2014. Yahoo ! writer Paul Grein deemed it `` one of the biggest and best ' message ' songs of recent times ''. The Guardian journalist Caroline Sullivan stated that the song was significant on combating `` the media - propagated notion '' that only small buttocks are sexy and said the track had the `` aura of a hard - won victory against self doubt ''. Evan Sawdey of PopMatters commended the track 's lyrics for showcasing Trainor 's personality and wrote that it was `` one of the funnest songs '' of 2014. Erik Ernst of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called it `` universally catchy '' and `` shamelessly dance - ready ''.

Trainor was accused of anti-feminism and shaming thin women in the song. Kris Ex of Complex said that the track `` jacked both the stereotyped body priorities of black beauty and the codes of black slang ''. Naomi Schaefer Riley of the New York Post dubbed the song as `` faux empowerment '' and wrote, `` feminists want her to know she 's not going to get away with it. '' Kelsey McKinney of Vox felt that some verses in `` All About That Bass '' uplifted ideas of body positivity and self - worth while destroying those ideals in others by putting down other women. The Independent writer Yomi Adegoke said that the song 's replacement of one ideal with another was a poor representation of body positivity, and felt that its enforcement that `` real men love curves '' was insulting. Trainor, who did not identify as a feminist at the time, responded, `` I did n't work this hard to hate on skinny people, I wrote the song to help my body confidence -- and to help others. '' PopMatters writer Evan Sawdey defended the song, writing, `` This song is so positive, so energetic, and so universal -- it 's something people of all shapes and sizes can get behind ''. Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian wrote that the fact critics took offense to the song 's lyrical content, manifested the delicacy of the issue of body image. In an interview in 2016, Trainor claimed she 's a feminist : `` I 'd been told : ' Do n't say you 're something if you do n't know what it is. ' So I was like : ' Well, I 'm not a feminist, ' because I did n't really understand it and then I was like ' Oh shit, obviously I am a feminist. My songs are women 's anthems across the board. ' ''.

When Trainor first received the video, she cried, and said, `` I do n't want to do this anymore ''. As a result, Trainor was involved in performing several edits to the clip because she disapproved on some of its shots and felt her face looked `` weird '' in some segments. She later approved of the video 's final edit and felt that it depicted her as a `` pop star ''.

Rolling Stone journalist Steve Knopper wrote, `` If we assume the latest sing - about - your - butt trend in pop music has finally reached its, uh, conclusion, the unquestionable winner is Meghan Trainor 's ' All About That Bass ' ''. Sullivan opined that the three songs signaled a shift in mindset in pop history, where female artists frequently endured `` scrutiny '' from society for their weight. Yomi Adegoke of The Independent wrote that the tracks helped `` curves '' reach the forefront of pop culture. On November 11, 2014, it was reported that American company Booty Pop experienced a 47 % increase in demand as a result. A New York doctor, Matthew Schulman, told Billboard that Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery had risen by 25 % at his practice in 2014. Boston entrepreneur and gym instructor, Kelly Brabants stated in an interview with the magazine that she experienced a waiting list for her Booty by Brabants class. Brabants went on to opine, `` It 's not about being stick - thin anymore, every girl now wants a booty ''. Parodies The song 's `` smash hit status '', according to Jason Lipshutz of Billboard, made it a popular focus of `` viral videos and musical tributes ''. On November 18, 2014, a parody music video of the song, `` All About Those Plums, '' was released on YouTube by local poet Michael Rosen. On December 1, in an episode of Canadian comedy series This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the cast made a parody music video of the song, releasing it as a Conservative political ad smearing the Federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, with the video titled `` Just a Pretty Face. '' On December 7, Nerdist Industries released a parody song `` All About That Base : No Rebels '', performed by Team Unicorn. Their video comprised a Star Wars theme and its premise sees men, depicted as stormtroopers, engaging in choreography alongside cheerleaders dressed in attire inspired by the fictional character Darth Vader. Mitchell Peters of Billboard opined that the parody was `` catchy '' and `` hilarious ''. On December 12, a parody music video by NASA entitled `` All About That Space '' went viral. The video featured NASA interns performing choreography and shots of the Johnston Space Center in Houston. The parody also comprised altered lyrics written by Sarah Schlieder. NASA 's parody video attained over one million views in four days. Lee Moran of the New York Daily News called the rendition `` wonderfully a-dork - able ''. The parodies later led to Time publishing an article titled `` No More ' All About That Bass ' Parodies, Please '' on December 15. Cover versions On August 4, 2014, American boy band Emblem3 performed an acoustic cover of `` All About That Bass ''. The Roots covered the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on August, 20. Their rendition was deemed `` angelic '' by Chris Payne of Billboard. Canadian singer Justin Bieber posted a cover version of `` All About That Bass '' on his SoundCloud on October 15. In early September 2014, Kate Davis performed the song and played double bass under the leadership of pianist Scott Bradlee ; in three months their 1940s jazz - style version, called `` All About that ( Upright ) Bass '', had received 8 million views on Bradlee 's Postmodern Jukebox YouTube channel. On October 24, American group Pentatonix 's Avi Kaplan released his cover version of the song online. Kaplan 's rendition was positively reviewed by James Grebey of Spin who wrote, `` Trainor 's tune sounds very different a few octaves lower, '' and added, `` We think it might just be an improvement ''. `` All About That Bass '' was also covered by Jamaican - American singer Anita Antoinette during the seventh season of the American series The Voice, receiving praise by the show 's judges Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine. Ashley Lee of Billboard wrote that Antoinette provided the song with `` a reggae twist ''. In the beginning of 2016 Trainor and James Corden performed a parody of the song on failed New Year 's resolutions about losing weight on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
