Niecy Nash-Betts is ready to dazzle us all as a pop star!
That’s right, the 54-year-old dynamo has teamed up with none other than Meghan Trainor for a spanking new track called “I Wanna Thank Me.” This catchy tune has just dropped and is part of Meghan’s upcoming album, *Timeless*, set to make waves on June 7.
Now, let’s talk inspiration! This feel-good banger is straight outta Niecy’s 2023 Emmys acceptance speech. Apparently, it struck such a chord with Meghan that she whipped up this anthem faster than you can say “Grammy-bound.”
“I think we often forget to take time to appreciate the hard work we’ve done – when I heard Niecy’s speech at the Emmys, I was so moved and so inspired. I knew I had to write a song about it,” Meghan gushed. “I still can’t believe I got to work with THE Niecy Nash-Betts in my studio AND have her amazing wife and daughter sing on the song with me! It was a moment I’ll cherish forever. Working with her and getting to know her has been a dream come true as I have been a huge fan of hers for so many years! I’m too excited for everyone to hear this empowering anthem!”
Cue Niecy, with her signature sass and sparkle: “Meghan is not only a friend but an incredible and super talented artist so I am thrilled that she was inspired by my Emmy Speech and wanted to do a collab together,” Niecy Nash-Betts shares about the collaboration. “Who would think that our 2 different worlds would collide in the music space, but here we are with a whole song together, ‘I Wanna Thank Me’ is a whole vibe, with significant meaning and we’re excited about sharing this exciting moment of empowerment with our fans, this is just the beginning for me in this music space so get ready, I think it’s time for a Grammy too!”
So, what are you waiting for? Go listen to the song, soak in those empowering lyrics, and get ready to boogie because this track is here to remind you to pat yourself on the back and strut your stuff!
