"Mother" is an upcoming song by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor from the deluxe edition of her fifth major-label studio album, Takin' It Back (2022). Trainor wrote the song with Sean Douglas, Gian Stone, Justin Trainor, and F.D. Ballard. Epic Records is scheduled to release the song as a single in March 2023. It samples the 1954 song "Mr. Sandman". The track was announced on February 27, 2023. Background Meghan Trainor released two major-label studio albums in 2020, her third, Treat Myself, and her fourth, A Very Trainor Christmas. She struggled while creating the former, rewriting it four times as an attempt to "adapt to what's going on in the music industry" after its preceding singles underperformed. After Trainor's 2014 song "Title" attained viral popularity on video-sharing service TikTok in 2021, she announced her intention to pivot to the doo-wop sound of its 2015 parent album of the same name on her fifth one, in May the following year, along with her pregnancy's influence on it. "Bad for Me", was released as the lead single from it on June 24, 2022, and features guest vocals from American singer-songwriter Teddy Swims. "Made You Look" was released as the second single. The song went viral on TikTok. It became Trainor's first song since 2016 to enter the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and her first top-10 single on the UK Singles Chart in seven years, reaching the top 10 in other countries including Australia and New Zealand. Trainor co-wrote the song "Mother" with Sean Douglas, Gian Stone, Justin Trainor, and F.D. Ballard. The song will be released as the first single from the deluxe edition of her fifth major-label studio album, Takin' It Back (2022), in March 2023. Its release follows the announcement of Trainor's first book, which is also themed around motherhood, called Dear Future Mama.
