what is the song it's all about that bass about
All About That Bass Trainor and Kadish discussed their love for 1950s music, and decided to incorporate the style into the song[9] along with doo-wop because Trainor felt that the genre was very catchy.[13] Kadish then developed a modern beat for the song and Trainor began freestyling the first verse.[9] She felt encouraged by the result and pictured the song to contain a theme of girl power.[14] 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.[9][11] Kadish related to Trainor's lyric ideas due to his own experiences with weight insecurities during adolescence.[6][15] 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.[11] She obtained additional inspiration for the song from American singer Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" (2010)[16] and The Chordettes' "Lollipop" (1958).[17]
