?Pop star Meghan Trainor has shared that she wrote a number of sexy songs for her new album with her brothers - but it wasn't awkward at all.

The pop star is set to release her next record 'Takin' It Back' in October and she has opened up about her songwriting process revealing that a number of the saucy tracks on the album were co-created with her siblings Ryan and Justin Trainor, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

During an appearance on E! News' Daily Pop show, she talked about her new song Dance About It and explained: "It's like, 'Let's just like hook up and have a good night'. And I'm like, 'God, I'm writing this with my bros.' But it's just like normal for us. We're just writing songs, telling stories."

Meghan became a first-time mum last year when she welcomed baby Riley with husband Daryl Sabara - and she admits her new role as a parent has influenced her music.

The singer said that one of the tracks called Don't I Make It Look Easy is about social media and how it can distort the truth about parenting.

Trainor went on: "I talk about how we post on social media, how easy our life is. We don't post the bad. And I'm like, 'Don't I make being a mom, a hardworking mom look easy?' That's what I'm really talking about. But also, social media's a lie."

She also tackles difficult subject matters including a tricky relationship with a family member in the song Bad For Me.

Trainor added: "I like when people take it into their own world and their own life situations. On TikTok, I see a lot of people telling their stories in it. It makes me emotional and makes me feel like, 'Oh, it's important that we put this out'."
