From today's featured article  Meghan Trainor performing the song "Dear Future Husband" is a song by Meghan Trainor (pictured), included on her 2014 extended play debut Title, and later on her 2015 studio album of the same name. Trainor wrote the song with its producer Kevin Kadish. Epic Records released "Dear Future Husband" as the album's third single on March 17, 2015. In it, she lists things a suitor needs to do to win her. Some music critics praised the song's playful nature, while others were negative about the portrayal of gender roles in its lyrics. In the U.S., the song reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
