Had enough of All About that Bass? Try the insanely catchy Lips are Movin instead, Meghan Trainor’s latest single. It’s already racked up nearly 42 million views in just under a month! Meghan Trainor is back to prove that she is no one-hit-wonder. In fact, she is a new breed of pop star whose clothes stay firmly on. In All About That Bass she tackled body image, in this single she’s gunning for all those good for nothing, lying, cheating dirty dawgs! With its retro sound and handclaps Lips are Movin does sound similar to All About That Bass – she even mentions the song loads of times on the new track. The song is currently at Nº8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and rising, whilst All About That Bass has finally started its descent after 22 weeks on the chart and sits at Nº3

Lips are Movin follows the age-old tradition of bashing bad blokes in songs and Trainor doesn’t mess about with her words: “You can buy me diamond earrings and deny-ny-ny / But I smell her on your collar so goodbye bye-bye-bye / I know you’re lying cause your lips are movin’ / Tell me do you think I’m dumb?”
The video is actually quite unique, it’s the first-ever socially sourced video. “HP is bending the rules because they are tapping content creators to produce and style the content in their own way,” Vine star Robby Ayala told MTV News recently. “It’s been successful with their fans and they are amplifying that onto the music video scene and that’s a really cool thing to see.”
Meghan invited Vine, Instagram and YouTube stars like Kristin Ess, Lizzza, Olivia “Chachi” Gonzales to be the set designers, producers, choreographers and make-up artists. “When you use social influencers and match them with a mainstream artist like Meghan Trainor, you’re taking two worlds and colliding them into one,” Vine star Cody Johns said. “And creating something really awesome.”
Lips Are Movin is the 2nd single from the 20-year-old’s upcoming debut album Title and will be officially released on January 19. The album will be out January 26.
