Background and concept

[edit]

"The single after this is called 'Shimmer' and that's where we start to love ourselves [again] ... like, 'I don't sweat, I shimmer!' Like, 'I got this!'"[1]

In 2026, Meghan Trainor made her return to music with the lead single of her seventh major-label studio album, Toy with Me, on November 12, 2025, "Still Don't Care",[2] followed by the Christmas single "Gifts for Me" on November 21.[3] Trainor would eventually go on to tease and release the song "Get In Girl" as the second single.[4] Although soon after, she revealed that a song called "Shimmer" would follow as the third single from the album.[1]

Trainor co-wrote "Shimmer" with Caroline Pennell, Grant Boutin, and its producer Gabe Yaron.[5] According to Trainor, the song is about self-worth and "lov[ing] ourselves"; KJYO noted that the song "will help all those down get back up!"[1] The music video for "Shimmer" accompanied the release of Toy with Me, both happening on April 24, 2026.[6]
