00:00this is your odyssey check-in we are here at the hard rock hotel new york with megan trainor
00:08hello uh still don't care is wonderful i love obviously the message the sound um how much did
00:15you care about selecting the the perfect initial single for this project oh we cared so much yeah
00:23the next single is a big battle right now no one has any idea what to go with it's all great things
00:28because we all love the song so much but picking singles is a nightmare yeah it is so hard to do
00:33that but um my truth right now is the still don't care song it's like truly how i feel i can't wait
00:40to be 30 something and like really not care what people think yeah but at 31 i still did and um i
00:47got a lot of comments that made me cry all night long and i have to stop and learn how to not give
00:53strangers so much power says my therapist and i agree so i wrote this song about it and it's helped
00:58me a lot and i can't wait to start performing it and truly believing it and feeling it is there a
01:02song or a lyric or something on this album that you think will surprise fans the most oh that's a
01:10really good question uh there's a few songs on this album that i think uh when i play it for people
01:15there's one song that jaws drop for can i say names of songs yes yep right yeah yeah they said yeah i'm
01:23gonna say shimmer oh they said no too late i said it shimmer yes there's a song called shimmer
01:28why because sonically is it a departure no it's like if i always call her if me too my song if i was
01:35you if she had an older sexier sister okay it's shimmer oh maybe younger maybe she's gen z but she's
01:41she's a cool girl what's and people freak out what's one thing from your childhood that you absolutely
01:47want to duplicate for your kids and one thing that you want to do differently oh my god do you have
01:52these written down somewhere how do you you're so good at this oh thank you uh one thing i want to
01:56do i want to make family memories like my my parents did a really good job at um we would have like
02:01disco nights where my dad would set up the disco lights by himself and we'd have dance parties
02:06and so now when i see like any kind of lights like christmas lights or any disco lights i get emotional
02:12and i love it so much um so i set up their playroom to have disco lights everywhere um
02:17and i want i try to do dance parties all the time with them they don't dance yet it's so frustrating
02:21and then something different i i'm really trying to because i heard my mom like not have the best
02:29self-talk about herself she like didn't take a picture for 50 years got you so that's where i get
02:35my insecurities from for sure yeah um and i'm trying to rewire my brain and just teach my kids like
02:40wake up look at yourself in the morning say hi riley i love you riley you're so handsome riley you
02:44know like self-positive love it wasn't a thing when i grew up so i want that to be for them uh what
