Tim McGraw Says Mama ‘Really Matters’ During These Times

Tim McGraw's new single, “I Called Mama,” is closing in on the top twenty on the country charts.

Tim told us of the song, “(It’s) a song that really, is about connecting, I guess back to what grounds you when life shakes you up. I think we all, literally and figuratively, when our life gets out of control, when the world starts getting out of control and you feel a little unbalanced and you can’t quite figure out where a home base is, I think we all want to call mom.”

Even during this era, people are reaching out more and talking more with their mom and their loved ones, and his explanation for that is, “We all wanna connect to something that really matters and something that really grounds us and something that really makes us stop and reflect on who we are, what we are, and what our North Star is, and what our principles are.”

McGraw adds about the role of moms in our lives, “It’s something about someone who knows you so intimately, and knows who you are from here to there and everywhere in between. You can’t bull---- her. You can for a little while, but she knows who you are and she’ll call you on it.”
