"Baby Mama" is an R&B/hip-hop song by Fantasia from her debut album Free Yourself. It was released as the album's third single on May 3, 2005 [1] and was produced by Co-Stars and Harold Lilly.[2] It performed relatively well on the U.S Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart, peaking at number 16.
The song is very meaningful to Fantasia because it was written as an anthem to inspire single mothers across the United States to follow their dreams. Fantasia has stated that "Baby Mama" is dedicated to "all of those single moms out there who tough it out to take care of the kids and work two jobs, go to school".[3] Critics have accused the song sending the wrong message about sexual activity and pregnancy to teens.[4] The song takes its title from the slang term baby mama. A parody of the song was made by comedian Rickey Smiley.
The song contains a sample of "There'll Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated At The Conference Table)" by the Chi-Lites.
