JT is keeping it all sorts of candid about her journey to solo stardom.

And she’s not side-stepping the challenging moments on that path.

Hot on the promotional trail for her first project, ‘City Cinderella,’ the femcee stopped by the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast to dish on her transition from the City Girls to her solo trajectory.

During the chat, JT revealed that it was the underperformance of the group’s last album, ‘R.A.W,’ that ignited her move to go it alone.

Meghan Trainor may be busy prepping for the Fall kickoff of her forthcoming ‘Timeless Tour‘ (designed to support of her June 14-released ‘Timeless‘ album), but that hasn’t stopped the Pop diva from lending her hitmaking pen to crank out hits for others.

Having just lent her talents to the Paul Russell-led ‘Slippin‘ earlier this month, Trainor follows by tag-teaming with singer-socialite Paris Hilton for her new song ‘Chasin.’

“What are you so afraid of? / Wasn’t I good to you? / Don’t I deserve the truth? I’m just sayin’ / What are you afraid of? / I would’ve died for you / Now I’m sayin’ goodbye to you / ‘Cause I’m done chasin’ your love,” Paris sings on the Jesse Shatkin-produced tune.

Serving as the second single from Hilton’s highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘Infinite Icon‘ (executive produced by Sia and due on digital shelves September 6), ‘Chasin’ follows the LP’s Rina Sawayama-assisted lead single ‘I’m Free.’

“Meghan’s writing paved the way for me to bring life to this track that represents self-love and confidence, and I am so happy we get to duet and call each other sisters!,” Hilton said about the new tune penned by Trainor, Ryan Trainor, Zacharie Raymond, and Yannick Rastogi.
