Me and Your Mama

On November 10th, 2016, following an elongated reprieve from the musical world, Childish Gambino premiered “Me and Your Mama” on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio with Zane Lowe. The dreamy experiment between blues and rock served as the first preview of Gambino’s highly anticipated third studio album, “Awaken, My Love!” Prior to its official release, Gambino wheeled the song out a number of times to tease fans. First, after much speculation surrounding the possible end of his musical career, Gambino headlined the 2015 Bonnaroo Music Festival and surprised fans with this then-untitled song. The song was next spotted in a promo entitled “Momma” for the first season of Gambino’s critically acclaimed FX show, Atlanta. Perhaps most notably, Gambino opened up his secretive three-day music festival PHAROS in September 2016 with a variation of this song.
