After dominating the Philippine charts with her viral TikTok hit “Made You Look,” Meghan Trainor marks another formidable comeback with the music video release of her new single “Mother,” starring ultimate celebrity ‘momager’ Kris Jenner.

Meghan is giving us one of her most iconic videos yet with “Mother.” Not only is Meghan serving ultimate Hollywood glam, she also enlisted mother-of-all-mothers Kris Jenner to star in the video, directed by longtime collaborator Charm LaDonna. The pair glow as they dance and sing along to the doo-wop inspired track, which samples The Chordettes’s 1954 hit, “Mr. Sandman.” 

“Mother” and the deluxe album come soon after Meghan announced her second pregnancy, proving that even as a busier than ever mama, Meghan is still committed to keeping fans fed. 

On releasing the track, Meghan explains, “I’m beyond excited to finally share ‘Mother’ with the world! This song is my response to being in the industry for almost a decade now and still finding myself in situations where I am talked down to or made to feel like my opinion isn’t valid. It’s for anyone who is in a situation where they feel like they are being mansplained to  and want to take their power back.” 

The track appears on the brand-new Deluxe Edition of her acclaimed album Takin’ It Back, available everywhere. 

Takin’ It Back (Deluxe Edition) includes the album’s original 16 tracks as well as 3 new tracks - “Mother,” “Grow Up,” and “Special Delivery” featuring MAX. The album also includes the Remix of “Made You Look (Feat. Kim Petras).” Meanwhile, smash hit “Made You Look” just clinched #1 on the Hot AC, marking her first #1 on the chart since 2016. Thus far, it has generated over half-a-billion streams and counting.

Meghan is still supplying us with banger after banger and all we can say is we are 100% here for it!

Meghan Trainor’s “Mother” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video here.
