Meghan Trainor ditches the pastel for sexy 'NO' music video

As if the Neptunes-like production of Meghan Trainor's "NO" didn't already remind us of "Overprotected"-era Britney Spears, the music video makes the resemblance even more striking. 

In the clip, Trainor ditches the pastel-colored purity of "All About That Bass" for something way sexier, with a lot of fishnet, a lot of suggestive smizing, and a lot of seemingly exhaustive dancing a la "I'm a Slave 4 U."

"NO," produced by Ricky Reed, is the first single off Trainor's upcoming second studio album, Thank You. Her followup to 2015's Title will drop on May 13. 

Speaking to Billboard, Trainor said that her sophomore record will definitely be a departure from Title -- but it will still, after all, be a Meghan Trainor album.

"When you first listen to [the album], you might go, 'Whoa, who is this?'" she said. "Then you hear my quirky lyrics and throwback melodies, and it sounds like Meghan Trainor sounds."
