“I think we often forget to take time to appreciate the hard work we’ve done – when I heard Niecy’s speech at the Emmys, I was so moved and so inspired. I knew I had to write a song about it. I still can’t believe I got to work with THE Niecy Nash-Betts in my studio AND have her amazing wife and daughter sing on the song with me! It was a moment I’ll cherish forever. Working with her and getting to know her has been a dream come true as I have been a huge fan of hers for so many years! I’m too excited for everyone to hear this empowering anthem!” says Meghan.
“Meghan is not only a friend but an incredible and super talented artist so I am thrilled that she was inspired by my Emmy Speech and wanted to do a collab together,” Niecy Nash-Betts shares about the collaboration. “Who would think that our 2 different worlds would collide in the music space, but here we are with a whole song together, ‘I Wanna Thank Me’ is a whole vibe, with significant meaning and we’re excited about sharing this exciting moment of empowerment with our fans, this is just the beginning for me in this music space so get ready, I think it’s time for a Grammy too!”
