"I Called Mama" is a song recorded by American country music artist Tim McGraw.

[1] "I Called Mama" was written by Marv Green, Lance Miller, and Jimmy Yeary.

[2] Released just before Mother's Day, the song is described as "a gently ebbing ballad led by acoustic guitar and washes of pedal steel [...] about not putting things off until it's too late", which leads to a phone call home to the narrator's mother.

It was hard to not want to pay attention to the song being, for me, a sort of catharsis during this time".

[3] "I Called Mama" debuted on Billboard Country Airplay at No.
