The song marks the first release with Annika Ljungberg, who rejoined the band.

After the group's previous single release, the 2002 Remix of Cotton Eye Joe and their first greatest hits compilation The Best of the West in 2002, Rednex returned in 2006 with new material, the song "Mama, Take Me Home".

In contrast of their previous releases, which were a mixture of dance/techno with country elements, and pop ballads, "Mama, Take Me Home" is a more classical country song with a softer beat, similar to their previous release "Riding Alone".

"Mama, Take Me Home" was released and entered into the Melodifestivalen (Music Festival) in Gothenburg, Sweden.

"Mama, Take Me Home" was subsequently released as a single in a few European countries in 2006.
