"Lips Are Movin" is a song by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor (pictured) from her debut major-label studio album Title (2015). She wrote the song with its producer Kevin Kadish. Epic Records released it as Title's second single on October 21, 2014. A doo-wop and pop song, it was inspired by Trainor's conflict with her label, but critics interpreted it as a song about leaving a cheating significant other. Some compared it to "All About That Bass" (2014); some found it catchy while others criticized its lyrics. Peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, it was certified 4× Platinum in the United States. It reached the top ten in countries including Australia and Canada, where it received multi-platinum certifications. Philip Andelman directed its music video, said to be the first created entirely by social media influencers, portraying behind-the-scenes events of a video shoot. Trainor performed the song on television shows and her concert tours. (This article is part of a featured topic: Title (album).).
