Last Updated: September 12, 2022 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and veteran DJ)

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, we would like to post a list of Mama songs that have “Mama” in the title.

The songs listed below help to celebrate the Mothers of the world.

Popular musicians have performed songs with the word Mama in the song title. But just how is the word Mama being used in the songs?

Do you know Mama? Yes, Mama told me so. Did you hear what she said? We also want Mama to do the hump. We want to tell him we are coming home.

We also want to write her a letter that starts with Dear Mama. Mama also has her own song and a song just for her.

Uh oh. Mama told me to knock you out too! Hey Mama, did you hear me?
