who is she's got a way about
She's Got a Way "She's Got a Way" is a love ballad.[2] The lyrics to "She's Got a Way" have the singer describing how various characteristics of a particular woman, such as her laugh, make him love her, even though he can't understand why.[3] To music critic Mark Bego it's a song about a woman who has "mesmerized" him.[2] Joel biographer Fred Schruers describes the lyrics as a "plainspoken, never-quite-corny adoration of a loved one."[4] According to a friend of the couple, Bruce Gentile, the song was written about Joel's first wife Elizabeth.[5]
All About That Bass Trainor and Kadish discussed their love for 1950s music, and decided to incorporate the style into the song[9] along with doo-wop because Trainor felt that the genre was very catchy.[13] Kadish then developed a modern beat for the song and Trainor began freestyling the first verse.[9] She felt encouraged by the result and pictured the song to contain a theme of girl power.[14] Trainor intended for the song's lyrics to be about self-acceptance of body type, a theme inspired by her own struggles in self-image as a teenager.[9][11] Kadish related to Trainor's lyric ideas due to his own experiences with weight insecurities during adolescence.[6][15] Trainor wanted the track to criticize the use of photoshopped images after she saw a feature on The Ellen DeGeneres Show of a model whose photographs were graphically edited.[11] She obtained additional inspiration for the song from American singer Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" (2010)[16] and The Chordettes' "Lollipop" (1958).[17]
