-I can't breathe! -Wait. Why? Come on.
-This dress is so tight, but it's so worth it!
[ Laughter ] -Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh. It is worth -- It looks gorgeous.
-Thank you. -We did some research on you,
and we found out that you do -- you actually are used to
changing genres of music
because you sang with your family.
I want to say, do you remember a band called Island Fusion.
-Island Fusion. Oh, my God. Yeah.
-Island Fusion. -Island Fusion.
I was 13 years old when this started.
-Talk to me about Island Fusion.
-It's my uncle, who's from Trinidad,
my auntie, who's not from Trinidad,
but she's a soca queen. It's hilarious. She's great.
And then, my dad plays keyboards,
and my little brother played bass.
And then our friend was the drummer.
And we killed it. We were great.
We would play, like, soca music, pop music,
and then I would go in and play my own original pop songs.
And I'm like 15, like -- -They were like,
"Who are you, man? Come on.
Let's play some cover songs!" -I was like, let's not.
-You're like, "That's Meghan Trainor."
-Literally, I was like, "Can we cut my originals?
This is embarrassing. No one knows these songs."
-No way. -And now I'm going on tour
with Maroon 5. -Yeah, come on!
That's what happened. -That's what happened.
-How many people -- How many people would be at these gigs?
-Seven and my nana. My nana -- my nana was like --
She was like 89 or something.
-She would come to all of the gigs?
-She went to the clubs. -Really?
-'Cause that's where they would have us.
You know? -Where would you play?
The Chicken -- -Chicken Box.
-What'd you say? The Chicken Box?
-Chicken Box. You been there.
-Shout-out to the Chicken Box in Nantucket.
-Chicken Box. Hey-oh.
-I told you last time -- -It's small.
-It's a very small -- But it's an awesome place.
And there's chicken wire all over the back.
-Is that what that is? -Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah. -And somebody was like,
"Dude, you want to go and have drinks and whatever at --"
Because we were there and we were leaving.
It was probably like 11:30 or something in the morning.
And I go, "No. It's too early.
It's not even open." They go, "Oh, it's open."
-They're open. All day long.
-Dude, this place is pretty real deal, man.
It's awesome. You're a legend over there, pal.
-I don't know. I haven't been in so long.
-Oh, you got to go back. You have to go back.
-I know, I have to go back. I miss it.
-What songs would Island Fusion do?
Do you remember any? -Oh, man.
We sang a lot of the pop songs at that time.
So, like, Ne-Yo. -Did you ever do Pitbull?
-Yeah, yeah! -The reason why I know
is because we actually have a tape.
[ Laughter, audience "Oohs" ]
Here's Meghan Trainor... -Jimmy, no.
-...and Island Fusion... -Jimmy, no!
-...covering Pitbull's... -Jimmy, no!
-..."Give Me Everything." Take a look at this.
-Jimmy, no!
-Come on, come on, come on! Two, three!

That's a star right there. -No!
-A star is born! -Oh, my.
-In the Chicken Box. -I have always been doing this.
-Yeah, oh, yeah. -What is that?
-No, I liked it. Come on.
-She was cute. You hear how nervous she was?
♪ Tonight ♪ -No, it was great.
-How did you get into music at home?
Your parents are very into music?
-Yeah. My dad actually taught music on Nantucket.
-Yeah. -And he's an older dad,
so all of my friends -- their parents would be, like,
"Your dad was my teacher," and I was like, "Oh, no."
That's, like -- That's crazy.
So, yeah. But he's a legend.
He would wake me up every morning,
playing keyboard and singing to me.
-Really? -Yeah.
-And what would mom be into?
-Yeah, dad would play, like, soul and funk,
and he thought he was James Brown for a while.
And my mom would play ABBA and Madonna.
So I had the best -- And then, I would have my soca songs.
And like, I had the best genres of all time.
-What was your brother into? -Rap. Yeah.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
-My brother thought he was, like, a young Eminem, too,
at one point. -Really?
-That was a great phase.
-You got to bring that tape next time just to embarrass him.
-That tape -- That's a good tape.
That's a good tape.
Do you remember your first concert?
-Nsync.
-Ah! [ Cheers and applause ]
Wow. -Yeah, Nsync.
Nsync was my first concert ever,
and it was so loud, and I was so scared.
Because I was like, "Why?"
And then, they did the turnaround,
like, "Just Got Paid," something with the booty.
And I was like -- I thought, like --
You know how you're young and you're like, "Boys are icky."
I was like, "Boys are great." Like, I was like --
[ Laughter ] -Your voice got really deep.
-I was like, "I'm into men." [ Laughter ]
I was like, "Oh, my God." -"Boys are beautiful."
-That was the first time I was like,
"I feel some type of way about this man onstage."
[ Laughter ]
-Have you ever told Justin Timberlake?
I'm sure you've met him. You ever told him that's your --
-I've barely met him.
I screamed at him once, like, "I love your wife's TV show!"
'Cause I didn't want it to be all about him, you know?
I thought, "This will switch it up."
[ Laughter ] -He loves his wife, too.
-And he was like, "Isn't it great?"
And that was it. -That's good.
-He's great. You tell him I said hi.
-I definitely will. -Okay.
-"Treat Myself." Let's talk about this.
I love -- -Yeah.

It's a beautiful record. -Thank you.
-Do you have favorites? You can't really say.
They're all your favorites. -My brother --
Both my brothers wrote "Lie To Me" with me,
so that's like a really -- like, a close one to my heart.
And also "Funk." You're gonna love "Funk."
-"Funk" is a jam? -It's a funk song.
-It's like my girl version of "Uptown Funk."
But, like, total different concept.
-Love it. -Yeah.
