In the song, the artist sings about the comfort of hearing his mother's voice and missing home. He previously shared that "I Called Mama" is about "connecting back to what grounds us when life shakes us up."

"We should all call Mama more often… or whoever those people in our lives are that keep us connected to what really matters," he wrote in a message to his fans.
