Title
A facial portrait of a young blonde woman smiling. Her hair is tied back with a section of her fringe covering the far left-side of her face. The portrait is triangulated and colored in turquoise and gray-scale patterns with a flower in the backdrop. At the bottom of the portrait in white capital font stands the name, Meghan Trainor, and in a larger and bolder font the title, "Title".

Title is the debut EP by American singer and songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was released by Epic Records on September 9, 2014. On music provider iTunes, it was later replaced by her 2015 studio album of the same name. The album was produced by Kevin Kadish with all of the music and lyrics written by Trainor and Kadish.

Musically, the album has a throwback style sound with its 1950s doo wop-inspired songs straddling the line between modern R&B and melodic pop. Its lyrical composition contemplates 21st century womanhood. Title produced one single, "All About That Bass", released on June 30, 2014. It became Trainor's breakthrough into mainstream success, topping the national charts of 58 countries worldwide and selling over 15 million copies.

The EP garnered mixed reviews from contemporary music critics who commended the record's production and Trainor's vocal ability, but criticized its lyrical content. The songs "All About That Bass" and "Title" were the subject of controversy among several critics who accused both songs of anti-feminism. Title debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 21,000 units, and peaked at number 17 on the Canadian Albums Chart. Furthermore, it peaked at number 35 on the Danish Albums Chart. Trainor promoted Title with a series of public appearances and televised live performances of "All About That Bass".

"They're the songs that I wish I had before I went into high school. Like, love yourself more, respect yourself more. I hope little girls, like my little cousin, I hope she's goes into high school knowing these songs and how cool she is. There are girl empowerment songs – like 'I love myself I'm beautiful' - but there are also 'I deserve a good man, I deserve a good boyfriend, man, you should take me out.' That'd be awesome (to hear as a kid). I wish I had that before."
