Tim McGraw will release new single I Called Mama on Friday 8th May 2020.
The track is his first new music since returning to Big Machine Records earlier this year. I Called Mama was written by Lance Miller, Marv Green and Jimmy Yeary and produced by McGraw and Byron Gallimore
Seen through the lens of the special connection we all share with our mothers, I Called Mama is a look at the ways we ground ourselves when we are shaken or hurting. Particularly meaningful given the current times, itās a reminder of the importance of home and human connection.
Tim said, āOn the one hand this song is literally, āhey, call your mom.ā On the other hand, you look at a time like this, there are real hardships for everyone, and itās a great reminder that hearing someoneās voice who knows you and loves you can help you get through anything. I think itās at these very difficult times that music can help and the power of a song can give someone a moment of clarity or comfort, or just a smile. Especially now, when we seem to need it more than ever.ā
The single will launch with a lyric video containing some never-before-seen footage of Tim as a baby with his mom.
Tim has asked fans to send in videos and photos of their moms to be included in the larger scale music video releasing later this month.
āMotherās definitely deserve to be honored more than one day a year. Weāve have had such an incredible response of people sharing their special Mama videos, we are going to get you something really special in a few weeks,ā Tim added.
I Called Mama can be pre-saved now ahead of its release on Friday.
