Background
Title was entirely written and composed by Meghan Trainor and Kevin Kadish, and produced by the latter. The pair recorded the EP at The Carriage House in Nolensville, Tenessee. It was mastered by Dave Kutch at The Mastering Palace in New York City, New York. Besides writing and composing the record, Trainor was also responsible for its drum programming, percussion instrumentation, clapping and ukelele melodies, as well as handling the EP's execution production with Kadish. Title was developed using a wide range of other instrumentation; drums, accoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass—all produced by Kadish. David Baron and Jim Hoke were the only two other musicians involved in the EP's production, and were responsible for the record's piano, banotone saxophone, tenor saxophone and hammond organ instrumentation. In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, Kadish spoke of the record's conception, "We were like, 'Let's do a '50s EP and see if anybody likes it, just for fun.'" Regarding the title of the EP, Trainor told Popjustice, "So I've called the EP Title. Cos obviously everyone was going, 'what's the title', and I was like, 'hey, I'm clever, I'm gonna make it this'." The name was deemed "creative" by Idolators's Mike Wass. "Dear Future Husband" was later chosen as the third single off the full-length Title and will be released on April 26, 2015 in the United Kingdom, and the single cover for the song was unveiled on March 13, 2015. It will impact mainstream radio in the United States on March 17, 2015.
