Candid: Meghan Trainor has admitted she 'felt super lost' after giving birth to her son Riley last year because she developed stretch marks and was 'heavier than ever'
The Grammy winner said: 'The first song I wrote after giving birth, I mean after having a C-section with my stretch marks, I was feeling extra, like, not loving myself.
'I was heavier than I've ever been and I was just super lost.

The first song I wrote is called Remind Me and it's about how my husband reminds me who I once was and then how beautiful he thinks I am and I see a lot of that in this album.'

Following her candid comments, the body-positivity advocate reflected on what she's learned about herself as a mother.

'Every day that I think is hard I'm then like, "This ain't hard, you know?" And it's actually got me doing hard things like going to the gym every day...

I'm a badass and I'm strong.'
Discussing the biggest challenges of creating her latest body of work, the talented songwriter said: 'Just trying to get out of my head what the radio would play and just writing what I love and going back to my roots, going back to my doo-wop, the sound that I love.
'But also it was challenging having my baby.

I was home luckily for most of it but I was also like, "Hey, bring my kid downstairs. I want to see him," you know, and we would have to take baby breaks. 
'I made sure that I always got to go upstairs by 6:30 and give him a bath and bedtime, so that was good.'

Megan previously detailed how Riley was quiet when he arrived and that she was initially confused about her son's lack of activity after his birth.
She also noted that her doctors did not allow her to spend an extended period of time with Riley after his arrival and that they had to keep him under observation, which unnerved her greatly.
The All About That Bass songstress is set to release the LP on October 21, but first she'll drop the music video for her new single, Made You Look, exclusively in Candy Crush Saga for 24 hours next Thursday at 2pm BST.
