being reminded that her husband would spend time a lot more with her families than his families.
Ill be sleeping on the left side of the bed hey Open doors for me and you might get some kisses
Dont have a dirty mind Just be a classy guy
Buy me a ring Buy-buy me a ring babe
At this point, Meghan tells about the terms that she has and her husband has to obey it.
You gotta know how to treat me like a lady Even when Im acting crazy
Tell me everythings alright Future husband, better love me right
The lyrics above are the repetition of this song.
4.1.2 Self Confidence
Confidence is a feeling of trust in someone or something. To be self- confident is to have confidence in yourself. Self-confident people dont doubt
themselves. This is usually a positive word: you can be self-confident without being cocky, arrogant, or overconfident. If you know what you’re doing, you
have every reason to be self-confident. Meghan Trainor’s “Me Too” is her taking an opportunity to explain
how much she loves herself and how happy she is with her own accomplishments.
Whos that sexy thing I see over there? Thats me, standin in the mirror
Whats that icy thing hangin round my neck? Thats gold, show me some respect

Listeners can detect the body-positive message we’ll hear through the rest of the song. Trainor appears to be countering negative messages some
people send themselves when they see themselves after they’ve just gotten out of bed without any makeup or other preparation. And tehn, This half of the
verse takes a different tack and suggests that this song will also be self-praise and a little bragging as she reflects on the status she’s achieved as a popular
celebrity. I thank God every day
That I woke up feelin this way And I cant help lovin myself
And I dont need nobody else, nuh uh
She’s obviously very happy about what she’s been able to accomplish, and she’s trying to live her life to the fullest. She’s satisfied with who she is and
wants everyone to know that she doesn’t need to find her completion in a relationship with someone else. She also seems to be suggesting that her
listeners particularly female ones need to hold similar standards for themselves.
If I was you, Id wanna be me too Id wanna be me too
Id wanna be me, too If I was you, Id wanna be me too
Id wanna be me too Id wanna be me, too
This is where the body-positive”self-positive” message disappears, and we get a glimpse at for lack of a better term a chest-thumping, “come-at-me-
bro” song describing her own satisfaction with herself. This tactic serves two purposes. First, Trainor is celebrating her own success. Second, she seems,
through example, to be encouraging her listeners to adopt similar attitudes–to

be so happy with who they are that they begin to think that others want to be like them. She wants them to stop wanting to be someone else and to embrace
themselves. I walk in like a dime piece
I go straight to V.I.P. I never pay for my drinks
My entourage behind me My lifes a movie, Tom Cruise
So bless me, baby, achoo And even if they tried to
They cant do it like I do
In the second verse, Trainor sings, “I walk in like a dime piece.” Urban Dictionary defines “dime piece” as “a girl [who] is bangin’, hot, beautiful, ‘A
perfect ten. This portion of the song is a little bit more mysterious in its intention since
Trainor’s audience will likely not be able to empathize with her accomplishments. Either she’s fine with simply bragging for a little while, or
she’s trying to brag about who she is so that her audience will have an example to follow as they look for the good in their lives.
Here she continues her celebration and takes pride in her life and the status she’s achieved, something that may actually be a significant show of self-love–
another attitude that Trainor is well known for.
