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!"
• Monét gave birth to his first child, a girl, on February 21, 2021. She wrote "On My Mama" while experiencing postpartum depression. "I feel like it's a mix between something that makes you wanna dance, but also something that speaks light into you," she told Apple Music. "Even if you just sing the lyrics, you're talking good about yourself which I think is important for people."
• Victoria Monét wrote "On My Mama" with producer D'Mile (Silk Sonic, H.E.R.), Jeff Gitelman (Hozier, H.E,R.) and Jamil "Deputy" Pierre" (Rihanna, J. Cole). Texan rapper Chalie Boy also gets credited because the song samples his 2009 single "I Look Good."
• Monét debuted "On My Mama" live during her first headlining show on March 31, 2023, at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. She released it as the third single from her debut album, Jaguar II, on June 16, 2023.
• Directed by Child, the music video is an ode to 2000s Southern Black culture, with choreography by Sean Bankhead. Monét rocks a dynamic selection of outfits that capture the essence of the era. She kicks things off in a fiery red leather jacket paired with a matching breastplate, baggy low-rise jeans, and a red Los Angeles Dodgers cap, channeling the style of Ciara. Later, she dons a light blue jersey dress as a nod to Mya. The cast includes Chalie Boy, Monét's real life mother L'Tanya Chestang-Cubit, and her daughter Hazel Monét Gaines.
