It’s a tearjerker… and it’s the perfect song to reflect on as we approach Mother’s Day this Sunday. Carrie Underwood released her song “Mama’s Song” in September of 2010 as the fourth and final single from her third studio album, Play On, which was released in 2009. The song was co-written by Underwood along with Kara DioGuardi, Marti Frederiksen, and Luke Laird, and it ended up being nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards. It’s an absolutely beautiful tune Carrie wrote for her mom, Carole Underwood, and finds her reflecting on how she has finally found an answer to her mom’s prayers in her husband, Mike, who will take care of her now. She assures her mom that she no longer needs to worry about her because: “And he is good, so good He treats your little girl like a real man should He is good, so good He makes promises he keeps No, he’s never gonna leave So, don’t you worry about me Don’t you worry about me” It’s just so sweet and I’m sure relatable to many, and Carole is actually taking over Carrie’s SiriusXM channel Carrie’s Country for Mother’s Day, and she let fans in on some cool behind-the-scenes knowledge from the music video, which she, Carrie and Mike are all featured in. Carole explained that the music video director had Carrie write her mom a heartfelt note to put in the photo book they used, which Carole couldn’t read until they actually filmed it. The goal was to make her cry, and Carole admits that it certainly worked: “My next selection is ‘Mamas Song.’ I thought I better throw that one in, because of course, it’s for Mama and I got to do a video with her. The man who produced the video had her to write me a special little note that I did not get to see until I was looking at the photo album for the actual recording, and the whole video of it was to make me cry some. And it did make me cry some.” The video opens with Carole talking about how fast the time has gone by in terms of feeling like it was just yesterday that Carrie was a little girl: “You just don’t think, when your child is small, in just a few years it’s going to be completely different. And You look back and say, ‘Where did that time go?’ It goes by fast.” Honestly, that part alone makes me tear up a little. Carrie has talked many times about how influential her mom has been in her life, and I can’t imagine a more beautiful song a daughter could write for her mom so I have no doubt it means the world to both of them.
