More than ever, I think that people are reaching out on Zoom and on FaceTime and really trying to connect a little bit more and think a little bit more and being more nostalgic about the people they love and the people they knew and the people they grew up with and the people who really stabilized them in their lives. And I think that that\u2019s what this song is all about and I think that that\u2019s why it\u2019s a perfect time for this song. And when we started recording \u2018I Called Mama,\u2019 we all just really got a sense of nostalgia and a sense of, not only mama, but what our family means to us. And I think that that\u2019s what made the song really important to us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tim\u2019s new album, Here on Earth, featuring &#8220;I Called Mama,&#8221; will be released on August 21st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim McGraw wasn&#8217;t initially considering &#8220;I Called Mama&#8221; as the first single from his upcoming album at the time he recorded it.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":76023,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[464],"tags":[4390,3953,1587],"class_list":["post-76009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-here-on-earth","tag-i-called-mama","tag-tim-mcgraw"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 08:29:26","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/cknx.ca\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2020\/08\/tim-mcgraw-hit-chosen-because-its-relevant\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76009"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76011,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76009\/revisions\/76011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cknxam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
