Meghan Trainor – Still Don’t Care

She Jumped Into A Fountain That’s Never Been Touched

Released on November 12, 2025, Meghan Trainor’s “Still Don’t Care” marks the lead single from her seventh studio album Toy with Me, due April 24, 2026, through Epic Records. Written by Trainor alongside Caroline Ailin, Ellis Robert McKay Lawrie, Scott Harris, and superproducer Steve Mac, the track emerged from an unexpected place: the nasty comments flooding her social media during her fitness journey. She’d been posting workout updates and health progress photos, not expecting the backlash. The criticism got under her skin at first, until she realized she was giving strangers too much power. So she wrote a song about the person she wanted to be, not the person drowning in negativity.

The song launched with a splash, literally. While filming the accompanying video in early November 2025, Trainor took over The Grove shopping complex in Los Angeles wearing a lavender corset ensemble. She danced with fans outside the AMC theater, walked past the Cheesecake Factory, rode the trolley, and led a flash mob at LA LA Land Cafe. Then she did something nobody had ever done: she performed in The Grove’s iconic fountain. Owner Rick Caruso confirmed Trainor was the only person in the mall’s history to perform in that fountain. Social media exploded with videos from stunned shoppers who stumbled into the spectacle. One TikToker captured the surreal moment with a caption about picking up a latte and walking straight into a Meghan Trainor flash mob.

Trainor admitted she doesn’t write self-love songs from a place of already feeling confident. She writes from where she wishes she was emotionally, the same way she did with her breakthrough hit. When she started working on Toy with Me, she spent eight months pushing herself so hard that her body rebelled. Her tongue started burning and wouldn’t stop. The dentist diagnosed stress. Unlike her usual process of knocking out songs in a single day, each track on this album took months to finish because she brought in new collaborators who challenged her to dig deeper. The result was worth the struggle, creating what she called her most honest and fearless work yet.

The production features maximalist 80s-inspired pop courtesy of Steve Mac, who’s crafted hits for everyone from Ed Sheeran to P!nk. Pentatonix member Scott Hoying contributes choir vocals, while Trainor’s mom, brother Ryan, and sister-in-law add backing vocals to soften what could’ve been a purely combative clap-back track. That family involvement brings warmth to a song addressing body image criticism and public scrutiny. Trainor revealed the writing approach in interviews: she always writes from the perspective of how she wishes she felt, performing these aspirational self-love songs until she starts believing the words herself when she sees how they affect audiences.

“Still Don’t Care” serves as the opening salvo for Toy with Me, which represents a palette shift from Trainor’s previous blue aesthetic to pink, Barbie-inspired visuals. The 16-track album follows 2024’s Timeless, which peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200 and spawned her first headline tour in eight years. That run included sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum, proving to Trainor she could survive the road again after years of touring anxiety. Billboard honored her with the 2025 Hitmaker Award at their Women in Music event in March, celebrating a decade since her 2014 debut album Title and the global phenomenon of her first single.

Trainor teased the new era on Instagram in early November, posting a snippet of herself lip-syncing and dancing with the caption “Just warming up” and the hashtag stilldontcare. The preview addressed comments about her weight and appearance head-on, positioning the chorus as her response to years of scrutiny. She’d experienced this criticism before, notably at her May 2025 Wango Tango performance in Huntington Beach when she cheekily changed a lyric in her breakout hit from “I ain’t no size two” to “I’ve got some new boobs,” acknowledging how her body had changed since 2014. The new single takes that same confrontational energy and transforms it into empowerment.

What makes “Still Don’t Care” resonate is its refusal to pretend confidence comes naturally. Trainor openly admits writing these songs as aspirations rather than reflections, performing them until the message sinks in. The track balances vulnerability with defiance, wrapped in infectious pop production that makes the medicine go down easy. She’s announced The Get In Girl Tour for summer 2026 with support from Icona Pop, with dates including Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum. A portion of proceeds will benefit The Trevor Project. After a decade in the spotlight dealing with constant commentary about her body, her music, and her choices, Trainor finally figured out the secret: write the song you need to hear, perform it until you believe it, and if people still have opinions, well, you still don’t care.
