Meghan revealed to The Miami Herald that the song's subject matter was inspired by an ongoing
joke between her and her father that Meghan's future husband is out there somewhere "chilling."
She also said:
"Girls need to be treated better. I never got that growing up. In high school, I didn't date awesome dudes."
• Meghan told The Columbus Dispatch that the harmonies driving the '50s style of this song owe
a little to
Gary U.S. Bonds'
Quarter To Three.
The song's music video was conceptualized by Fatima Robinson, who also directed the video for
All About That Bass.
The video features
Charlie Puth
as the guy she chooses.
Meghan returned the favor by duetting with him on his debut single,
Marvin Gaye.
Several viewers criticized the video, accusing it of being anti-feminist.
Meghan responded:
"Just surprised the random places people are asking me if
I was being sexist. But no, I don't believe I was. I think I was just writing my song
to my future husband out there, wherever he is. He's chilling right now, taking
a minute getting ready for me; it's going to be great."
