Thank You is the second major-label studio album by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was released exclusively on Apple Music on May 6, 2016, and was released on May 13, 2016, by Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment. Trainor embarked on The Untouchable Tour in support of the album on July 2016. The album was supported by three singles: "No", "Me Too", and "Better" featuring Yo Gotti. "No" reached the top five on the US Billboard Hot 100, while "Me Too" reached the top 20.
The album received mixed reviews from critics. It has peaked at number 5 in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, while peaking at number 3 in Australia and the United States.
In 2015, Meghan Trainor announced that she would be releasing her second album sometime in 2016, and confirmed some collaborations with the variety of artists and record producers, one of them was the Virgin Islands duo Rock City. Discussing her influences for the record, Trainor explained "I wanted to go big, I wanted to get all my influences in there and show everything from my Caribbean side to my love for Bruno Mars and Aretha Franklin and even some Elvis vibes, anyone I grew up listening to." "It's definitely a Meghan Trainor album, but it's a more grown up, matured, intense Meghan Trainor," she said in an interview with Los Angeles Times. In January 2016, in an interview with Forbes, Trainor confirmed that her first single from Thank You would be picked during the month. The album was made available for pre-order on March 4, on the same day the release of the lead single "No". The song caused the direction of the album to change, as Trainor and the producer Ricky Reed started experimenting with new musical styles and began producing six more tracks, replacing most of the original track list.
