“On My Mama,” produced by Deputy, Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman and D’Mile, is from Monét’s Grammy-winning album, JAGUAR II.
Monét explained:” ‘On My Mama’ is the soundtrack to positive affirmations. I wrote it postpartum when I wasn’t feeling my best, but spoke to how I wanted to feel. Singing the lyrics about yourself will change your frequency, and elevate a positive mental state.”
She added, “The words speak not only to physical features, but to a feeling too because I believe when you feel good you look even better! Give yourself the words you need to hear because it’s true, you look good! There’s no one like you and that’s on ya mama. Enjoy being yourself witcha fine ass!”
JAGUAR II was released Aug. 25, 2023, via RCA Records. It debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart, earning Monét her first top 10 on this chart.
JAGUAR II won Best R&B Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 66th Grammy Awards in February. Monét also took home the trophy for Best New Artist.
Monét is scheduled to perform at a few festivals this spring and summer, including Coachella, Roots Picnic and Governors Ball.
