We previously reported that Tim McGraw was looking for fans to send in photos and videos of their moms for a special project. The project has been finalized! He released a new song and music video called “I Called Mama.” While the song was recorded before the coronavirus pandemic, the song is extra special now.
Tim appeared on TODAY to talk about the track. He said, “After I recorded it and we got it mixed, the virus came along and everybody was talking about it, and everybody went into isolation. So it really took on a bigger meaning and a deeper meaning to us, and that’s why we released it.” In addition, he decided to release the song around Mother’s Day.
He continued, “It just happened to be around Mother’s Day, but the main reason was because it just felt like, you know, what I’ve been doing — everybody’s been doing it — sitting around having comfort food all the time. This song felt like comfort food for your soul in a lot of ways.”
