Background

edit

After rising to mainstream popularity, Meghan Trainor cited T-Pain as one of her biggest influences in a 2014 interview: "Everything is upbeat and happy; there's no ballads and it's catchy".[1] After Trainor's popularity waned in the lead-up to the release of her third major-label studio album, Treat Myself (2020),[2] she decided to return to the doo-wop sound of her song "Title" (2014) with her fifth major-label studio album, Takin' It Back (2022).[3] The album included the single "Made You Look", which went viral on TikTok.[4][5] It became Trainor's first song since 2016 to enter the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100[6] and reached the top 10 in several other countries.[7][8][9]

Trainor had been a fan of T-Pain for years, which he reciprocated. T-Pain began seeking out the help of her husband, Daryl Sabara, and her manager, to bring about a meeting in 2023: "I worked with Meghan's husband and manager for months trying to surprise her for her birthday."[10] Subsequently, Trainor wrote the song "Been Like This" with Faheem Najm, Kurt Thum, her brother Ryan, and its producers, Gian Stone and Grant Boutin.[11] T-Pain described the song as "the collab you never knew you wanted but needed" and further reflected on its creation: "I think we came together in a way that's a perfect mesh of styles that will get everybody ready for us to work together again real soon."[12] After teasing her upcoming sixth major-label studio album, Timeless (2024), in the lead-up to 2024, Trainor and T-Pain released "Been Like This" as a single on March 14, 2024.[13] In the outro of its music video, another song was teased. On April 5, 2024, Trainor revealed that the song is titled "To the Moon".[14] It will be released as the second single from the album on May 3, 2024.[15]
