Last year, we wondered where Meghan Trainor went wrong with the lead up to her most recent, third album Treat Myself. Initial singles such as "Can't Dance" and "Let You Be Right" were stellar pop offerings. However, they were ultimately left off the final track list.
The artist then switched gears ahead of the album's eventual January 31 release date by sharing another pair of commendable tracks - "Wave" feat. Mike Sabath and "Nice To Meet Ya" feat. Nicki Minaj. Unfortunately, the hip-hop direction did not help. The album peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the chart for only three weeks.
Such a shame, as the album is a strong listen from beginning to end. Most still haven't even experienced the power of "Genetics" feat. The Pussycat Dolls or the endearing "After You" feat. AJ Mitchell. Either way, it's clear Trainor has not given up on the project. She hopes to inject new life into the music with the announcement of a deluxe edition release; out July 17. She now shares the first taste of the extension.
"Make You Dance" appears tailored for the quarantine-abiding folks yearning for long nights back on the crowded dancefloor. We've all watched everything on Netflix already, started drinking well before noon, joined virtual work meetings with no pants on... Trainor just wants to forget about the current situation and dance.
Produced by Asa Welch (Bebe Rexha), Trainor shakes off her feelings of loneliness with the support of electropop beats and prominent bass guitar. For just three minutes, the artist chooses to escape the confides of her frustrated mind, encouraging listeners to follow suit with a commanding vocal performance.
"Dressed up, got all dressed up for no one, got my rosé, I've been drinkin' since one," she sings on the second verse.
While the track may not carry much meaningful lyrical weight, "Make You Dance" hits the right pop spots with its carefree vibe and perfect timing. Serving as the first tease of the upcoming deluxe edition, the song differs greatly from the country influences of "No Excuses" to boost excitement for a proper revisit.
The mainstream audience appears to have moved on from Trainor, she hasn't captured a Top 40 chart hit since 2016. With "Make You Dance" though, she's still growing into her own artistic aesthetic. The annoying tongue-in-cheek nature of her early work is now replaced with confidence and energy. She's given us an anthem to cure our boredom. We should be thankful.
