A dozen other artists, including Beyoncé, passed on the chance to record All About That Bass. (2) Do you think they’re kicking themselves?
I’ll bet some of them didn’t even know the song was being pitched to them. Some artists get thousands of songs pitched and they never know, so Beyoncé herself probably never heard it. Most of these other artists’ A&R teams said they couldn’t do anything with the song because they didn’t have [the right] artist. That was the problem – there weren’t any singers at the time [who fit the song]. Adele was the only one, but she wasn’t rapping and singing sassy songs with swears in them. But I’m down – I get all the performing royalties!
It fits her so well though. I can't imagine it going to anyone else. Singer-songwriters deserve to break nowadays. It's not all about the perfectly-packaged, conventionally beautiful pop star anymore.
i'm actually pretty glad she did it herself. beyonce definitely wouldn't fit the song because she's not even close to being fat, so it really wouldn't feel as legitimate

Meagan isn't fat either
