Meghan Trainor wrote "Made You Look" following a C-section when giving birth to her first child, Riley. After her caesarean delivery, she got new stretch marks and a scar, making her feel very self-conscious about her body. "I've never had a scar, so seeing all these new marks on me, like literally, I had PTSD after having a C-section because you have to be awake," Trainor told Rolling Stone: "So I would lay in bed at night and be like 'She's still in me.' I had to learn how to love my body with all this new s--t on top of it. And it was frightening and terrible." Trainor wrote this self-love song to mitigate her body-image issues. She tells herself that even though she'd had a baby and her body shows it, she's still sexy.
As an exercise, Trainor's therapist told her to look at herself naked for five minutes. It's one of the hardest things she's ever done, but it inspired this song.
I could have my Gucci on I could wear my Louis Vuitton But even with nothin' on Bet I made you look Trainor wrote "Made You Look" after singing the chorus naked in the shower. She recounts catching her actor husband Daryl Sabara's attention without needing expensive clothes or accessories. "I wrote the song about the fact that, yes, I could wear all the fancy clothes ever and I can be dressed up with my stylist and my makeup artist," Trainor said. "But I can still be hot with nothing on. I can still look good naked. So that was that song."
