Meghan Trainor – Like I’m Gonna Lose You (Official Video) ft. John Legend

I remember that in Japan, Meghan Trainor was popular with the catchphrase “plump and cute.” Contrary to that pop image of hers, I feel this song—while retaining Meghan’s cuteness—has turned out warm, gently moist, and calm, like a summer night’s rain.
