Brandy Teams Up with Chance the Rapper on Empowering New Song 'Baby Mama'

Just in time for Mother's Day, Brandy has returned with a brand new anthem for all of the incredible hard-working moms out there. Teaming up with Chance the Rapper, the singer/songwriter — and mom herself — has officially released her new empowering song "Baby Mama."

"Baby Mama" is an ode to raising her now 17-year-old daughter Sy'rai, as well as a track dedicated to all of the mothers who work so hard to provide for their children and families. In the first verse, she sings, "Only kind of first real love/ My baby got them dreams you can touch and a voice from above/ She’s a pearl in the rough It takes a village to raise em', we don't do it all by ourselves/ I know my smile can be upstaggin'/ On a stage I provide like a daddy/ And a mother, father I give my life put that on my life.

And in the chorus, she sings, "Baby Mama, baby mama/ I ain't with that drama not that baby mama/ Ain't dependent on ya I’m a baby mama/ Baby mama Baby mama/ Whole world looking at me single mama/ This song ain’t just for me, it's for every mama yeah/ Every day I breathe it's for my little mama I’m every woman and a baby mama."

In a statement, Brandy explained of her new song, "My new single is about embracing the strength and fortitude needed not only in motherhood, but in life. I'm am thrilled that Chance joined me on this track, and I hope my fans find it as uplifting as I intended it to be!"

"Baby Mama" follows Brandy's Grammy-nominated hit single with Daniel Caesar, "Love Again," and is the first taste of Brandy's forthcoming new album, which is expected to be released sometime later this year. The star's last album, Two Eleven, was released in 2012, so this will be Brandy's first full-length album in eight years.

Fans can look out for the official "Baby Mama" music video on Monday, May 4th.
