Meghan Trainor’s “Marry Me” Lyrics Meaning
“Marry Me” is a very personal song for American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. In other words, she penned it directly in reference to her real-life beau, actor Daryl Sabara.
According to Trainor, she actually wrote this song while she was on the road, with Daryl being present during its composition. Although it was written as early as 2017, “Marry Me” was not released until 2018. In December of that same year, she and Daryl tied the knot. And to add even more personalization to the presentation of this track, the music video, which came out in February of 2019, features actual footage from their marriage – a somewhat unprecedented move in the world of wedding-themed music videos.
As the title suggests, the content of the song is centered on Meghan’s desire to get married, specifically to her boyfriend. She is not interested in the theatrics commonly associated with such events. What she wants most is to formally dedicate her life to her sweetheart and for him to go beyond saying he wants her as a wife and actually take the big step.
And Trainor sees no reason to delay. In fact she sounds as, if so told, she would stop singing the song mid-verse and walk down the aisle with Sabara that very moment. She understands the high-emotional risk involved, as others have warned her about going all-in with her heart like this. Yet despite such warnings there is nothing she wants more than for Daryl to take her hand in marriage, immediately.
