"Title" is a song by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor from her 2014 debut extended play of the same name. Kevin Kadish produced the track and wrote it with Trainor. Epic Records considered it for release as Trainor's second single but eventually decided on "Lips Are Movin" (2014). The song is in a doo-wop style with Caribbean influences. Lyrically, Trainor demands that her partner define their relationship more clearly and call her his girlfriend.
"Title" received mixed reviews from music critics for its production and rap verse, but some were positive about the lyrics. The song reached number nine in New Zealand and entered the charts in several other countries. It received a Platinum certification in Australia and Gold in Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The song became a trend on the video-sharing service TikTok in 2021.
Anthony Phan directed the music video for "Title", which depicts Trainor performing at a Mr. America-style beauty pageant. Initially released exclusively on the special edition of Trainor's 2015 debut major-label studio album, Title, the video was uploaded online in December 2021. Trainor performed the song at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival and in sessions for MTV and the National Post, and included it on the set lists of her 2015 concert tours That Bass Tour and MTrain Tour and the Timeless Tour (2024).
