Produced by Mike Sabath, the long-percolating new tune "Genetics," which got its official release at midnight, has a subtle electronic soundbed reminiscent of Daft Punk’s work. On it, she sings: “How you get that bod?/ Is it from god? / Did you work real hard? / G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S / How you get that bass? / Is it all fake? / Made in LA / G-E-N-E-T-I-C-S.” "Genetics" leaked earlier in 2019 and has been in the works for the best part of a year, with Trainor talking it up during a red carpet chat with Billboard ahead of last December’s Jingle Ball. Meghan Trainor Drops Inspiring 'Run Like The River' From 'Playmobil: The Movie' Soundtrack: Listen Speaking of her upcoming album Treat Myself, Trainor said the LP reflected her maturity as a songwriter, she'd become sassier, and she wanted “Genetics” to be her next single. “It’s kinda like (All About That) Bass 2.0”. It’s about my genetics and how you get that bod? It’s genetics. I’ve been blessed,” she explained. “Genetics” should appear on Treat Myself, Trainor's third major-label studio album release, due out next year. It's the followup to 2017's Thank You, which hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and 2015's Title, which went to No. 1.

Directed by Matthew Cullen (who’s worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift) and choreographed by Charm LaDonna (Kendrick Lamar, Britney Spears, Rosalía), the clip, shot in an earthy color palette, sees an abstract dance party transform into an almost spiritual experience for Trainor. The pop star glides above the hands of hundreds of extras in a tulle dress. Sabath joins in later, wearing a choice leopard print headband.
Lyrically, the song deals with the emotional fallout of a failing relationship: “Once my hands have reached the shore/You pull me back in/And I shouldn’t beg for more/But I don’t want it to end.”
Trainor recently covered the Rembrandts’ Friends theme song “I’ll Be There For You” in celebration of the sitcom’s 25th anniversary. She also teamed up with Kaskade for a colorful animated video, “With You.”
