"Lips Are Movin/sandbox1"
Song

Writing and development

"Lips Are Movin" was written by Trainor, and Kevin Kadish, who also produced the song.[1] They wrote the track in eight minutes.[2]

Music and lyrics

"Lips Are Movin" is an uptempo song.[3] It has a playful and cheerful sound, similar to that of "All About That Bass".[4][5]

Release

To tie in with the release, Trainor co-designed a cosmetic bag fetauring a pair of lips inspired by the look of the "Lips Are Movin" music video. The limited-edition bag was launched by Trainor in partnership with Clinique on January 20, 2015.[6] Regarding the design, Trainor said, "I wanted to rock the look of the video, and add a little more shine — just the way I like my lips".[7]

Critical reception

Mikael Wood writing in the Los Angeles Times viewed "Lips Are Movin" as a variation of "All About That Bass", describing it as equally "cheerful and crafty — and as vexing".[5]

Chart performance

"Lips Are Movin" became an unforseen success for Trainor at a time when critics regarded her as a one-hit wonder after "All About That Bass".[8]

Music video

John Paul Stapleton of The Boston Globe said Trainor "showed her audience a pastel princess who could appeal to mothers everywhere".[9]

Cover versions

On September 29, 2015, Lindsey Elm performed a slowed down version of "Lips Are Movin" on the ninth series of The Voice (US).[10]
