Title is the debut extended play (EP) by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor (pictured). Trainor wrote all of its songs with its producer, Kevin Kadish. The two conceived the EP shortly after Trainor signed with Epic Records in 2014. The label released it on September 9, 2014. Inspired by doo-wop from the 1950s, Title comprises songs that lie between modern R&B; and melodic pop. The EP has a lyrical theme of commitment and staying true to oneself, which Trainor hoped would empower women. It includes Trainor's debut single, "All About That Bass", which reached number one in 58 countries with worldwide sales of 11 million units. Title garnered mixed reviews from critics, who thought its tracks had potential for commercial success, but considered the lyrics too repetitive and questioned Trainor's musicality. The EP debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200. Trainor promoted Title by performing its tracks on television shows and her concert tours.
