"Baby Mama" is a song recorded by American singer Fantasia for her debut studio album Free Yourself (2004).
The song samples from "There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference Table)" by American group The Chi-Lites; thus, Eugene Record and Barbara Acklin are also credited as songwriters.
The song is very meaningful to Fantasia because it was written as an anthem to inspire single mothers across the United States to follow their dreams.
Fantasia has stated that "Baby Mama" is dedicated to "all of those single moms out there who tough it out to take care of the kids and work two jobs, go to school".
