"Me Too" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor from her second major-label studio album, Thank You (2016). Trainor wrote the song with Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Jason Derulo, Peter Svensson, and its producer, Ricky Reed. Epic Records released it as the album's second single on May 5, 2016. An electro and R&B song with a minimalistic musical bed of a synth bassline, finger snaps, and popping mouth sounds, "Me Too"'s lyrics concern self-love, as Trainor asserts confidence in her looks.
Music critics found the lyrics of "Me Too" difficult to relate to and Trainor's confidence disingenuous, but some of them praised the track's production. In the United States, the song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It reached the top 10 and received 4× Platinum certifications in Australia and Canada.
Hannah Lux Davis directed the music video for "Me Too", depicting Trainor partying in a car and traveling through Los Angeles before joining her backup dancers to film a dance sequence. Shortly after its release, the video was removed after she noticed it had been digitally altered to make her waist look smaller; it was reuploaded the following day. Trainor fell while performing the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, drawing accusations of staging a marketing stunt. She reprised "Me Too" on television shows such as Good Morning America and The Today Show, and included it in the set list of her concert tours the Untouchable Tour (2016) and the Timeless Tour (2024).

L.A. Reid, the chairman of her label Epic Records, encouraged her to write "a song that every other artist wished they had" because she lacked a proper lead single for the project. Trainor, Reed, and Hindlin wrote the song "No". When Reid heard it, he jumped up and said "that's what I'm talkin' about!", playing it 29 times in succession.{{cite magazine |last=Weingarten |first=Christopher R. |title=How Meghan Trainor Got Angry at L.A.

Critical reception
Music critics commented on the production of "Me Too", as well as Trainor's performance on it. Spin{{'}}s Dan Weiss dubbed the song "Will.i.am-goes-Sophie" and compared it to a "vibrant Gap commercial".{{cite web|last=Weiss|first=Dan|url=http://www.spin.com/2016/05/review-meghan-trainor-thank-you/|title=Review: Meghan Trainor, Thank You|work=Spin|date=May 17, 2016|access-date=May 17, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160518103926/http://www.spin.com/2016/05/review-meghan-trainor-thank-you/|archive-date=May 18, 2016|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}} Jada Yuan of Billboard believed it delicately shifted Trainor's retro image to a more urban R&B style, and she called it "Beyoncé Lite" due to its audacious theme. Writing for MTV News, Hazel Cills opined that the pulsating bass beat of "Me Too" made it well-suited for clubs.{{cite web|last=Cills|first=Hazel|title=The Expendable Pop Of Meghan Trainor's Thank You|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2881953/meghan-trainor-thank-you-review/|publisher=MTV News|access-date=June 18, 2016|date=May 17, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160622095816/http://www.mtv.com/news/2881953/meghan-trainor-thank-you-review/|archive-date=June 22, 2016|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}} Fuse's Shannon Mages wrote that the song would make listeners stomp their feet and head to a dance floor. Conaton thought the minimalistic production in its verses was "quite cool" and contrasted well with its pre-chorus, but he criticized Trainor's affectation during its chorus.

Trainor called the staff at Vevo and label heads including Reid and Sylvia Rhone, requesting for it to be taken down. She uploaded a clip explaining the video's removal to fans on Snapchat, in which she stated: "they Photoshopped the crap out of me [...] My waist is not that teeny, I had a bomb waist that night, I don't know why they didn't like my waist, but I didn't approve that video and it went out for the world, so I'm embarrassed."{{cite web |last=Roth |first=Madeline |title=Meghan Trainor Removes 'Me Too' Video: 'They Photoshopped The Crap Out Of Me' |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/cloafn/meghan-trainor-removes-me-too-video-photoshop |publisher=MTV News |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 9, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230326082458/https://www.mtv.com/news/cloafn/meghan-trainor-removes-me-too-video-photoshop }} Trainor had asked the editors to conceal her mustache and remove her mole hair, but thought reducing her waist size crossed a line.

Live performances and other usage
Trainor promoted "Me Too" with appearances on several television shows. On May 12, 2016, she performed the song in a green and black sequin dress and high heels on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.{{cite web |last=Kraft |first=Karen |title=Meghan Trainor falls during Jimmy Fallon Show performance |url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2016/05/14/meghan-trainor-falls-during-jimmy-fallon-show-performance/84375878/ |website=The Tennessean |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 14, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=March 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328104213/https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2016/05/14/meghan-trainor-falls-during-jimmy-fallon-show-performance/84375878/ }} Trainor executed choreography, sang into a decorated microphone, and was accompanied by a backing band.{{cite magazine |last=Kaufman |first=Gil |title=Meghan Trainor Can't Stop Laughing After Falling on The Tonight Show |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/meghan-trainor-cant-stop-laughing-after-falling-tonight-show-me-too-7370419/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 13, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=March 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230324202354/https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/meghan-trainor-cant-stop-laughing-after-falling-tonight-show-me-too-7370419/ }} Towards the end, she fell to the ground while trying to grab a hold of the microphone stand. Trainor stayed there in shock for a minute, after which Fallon laid down beside her and joked: "of every single dance move, grabbing the mic is the toughest". She recorded the performance a second time but preferred the one with the fall: "I noticed on the second take my face looked really worried, like, 'Do not fall,' and the performance just wasn't as good. So I told them, 'Take the first one, give them the fall, let 'em have it.'"{{cite magazine |last=Yuan |first=Jada |title=Pop-Star-Next-Door Meghan Trainor on Why She Still Doesn't 'Feel Famous' |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/features/meghan-trainor-billboard-cover-story-on-fame-being-a-role-model-writing-hits-thank-you-album-7438214/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=July 14, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=January 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108095507/https://www.billboard.com/music/features/meghan-trainor-billboard-cover-story-on-fame-being-a-role-model-writing-hits-thank-you-album-7438214/ }}{{cite magazine |last=Lang |first=Cady |title=Meghan Trainor Takes a Tumble During Her The Tonight Show Appearance |url=https://time.com/4329243/meghan-trainor-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-fall/ |magazine=Time |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 13, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=November 3, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161103022906/http://time.com/4329243/meghan-trainor-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-fall/ }} Trainor began retweeting videos of it soon after it aired, which led The Atlantic{{'}}s Spencer Kornhaber to speculate that it might be a marketing stunt to generate PR for the release of Thank You.{{cite web |last=Kornhaber |first=Spencer |title=Meghan Trainor: Views From the Uncanny Valley |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/05/meghan-trainor-thank-you-review-uncanny-valley-no-all-about-that-bass-feminism/482616/ |website=The Atlantic |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 13, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=March 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230324202353/https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/05/meghan-trainor-thank-you-review-uncanny-valley-no-all-about-that-bass-feminism/482616/ }} Stereogum{{'}}s Tom Breihan believed that the fall was probably genuinely accidental due to her ankle-twist, but "she definitely milked it for a minute".{{cite web |last=Breihan |first=Tom |title=Here's Meghan Trainor Falling Down On The Tonight Show |url=https://www.stereogum.com/1876947/heres-meghan-trainor-falling-down-on-the-tonight-show/news/ |website=Stereogum |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 13, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=March 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230324202354/https://www.stereogum.com/1876947/heres-meghan-trainor-falling-down-on-the-tonight-show/news/ }} Writing for The Independent, Olivia Blair noted Trainor was not the first person to suffer a fall on television, and cited the incidents of Naomi Campbell at the Vivienne Westwood 1993 Fall catwalk and Madonna at the Brit Awards 2015.{{cite web |last=Blair |first=Olivia |title=Meghan Trainor falls over in spectacular fashion while performing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/meghan-trainor-fall-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-a7028156.html |website=The Independent |access-date=March 28, 2023 |date=May 13, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-date=April 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418072155/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/meghan-trainor-fall-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-a7028156.html }} The "Me Too" performance received positive reviews from some critics: Carley thought Trainor delivered strong vocals, swiftly ameliorating choreography, and handled the fall charismatically;{{cite web |last=Carley |first=Brennan |title=Meghan Trainor Rips Through 'Me Too' on Tonight Show |url=https://www.spin.com/2016/05/meghan-trainor-me-too-tonight-show-jimmy-fallon-video-watch |website=Spin |access-date=September 25, 2018 |date=May 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925180440/https://www.spin.com/2016/05/meghan-trainor-me-too-tonight-show-jimmy-fallon-video-watch/ |archive-date=September 25, 2018 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }} Rolling Stone wrote that she sang with unanticipated ardour and adroit choreography during the performance;{{cite magazine |title=Watch Meghan Trainor Perform Sassy 'Me Too' on Fallon |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/watch-meghan-trainor-perform-sassy-me-too-on-fallon-180579 |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=September 25, 2018 |date=May 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925180759/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/watch-meghan-trainor-perform-sassy-me-too-on-fallon-180579/ |archive-date=September 25, 2018 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }} Gil Kaufman of Billboard described it as sprightly and praised Trainor for handling the slip-up with grace while smiling and laughing;
