For mom, hip-hop

She worked doubles and still made every recital. Some thank-yous hit harder over a beat.

A rap song for your mom, from the kid she raised

Some thank-yous come out better over a beat. Write down what she gave up, what she always said and the moment you realized what she did for you, and the verses rap it to her with a sung hook that carries her name.

Free to hear: the first 60 seconds in about two minutes. $12.99 only if you keep the full song.

Comes with a vertical lyric video for TikTok and Reels

A rap song for your mom, from the kid she raised

Hear the second a name lands

Siobhan, you're shining bright today

You wrote“She runs the family group chat and never forgets a birthday.”

The song singsYou run the family group chat with a whole lot of love.

From a real song made here: “Thirty Years of Siobhan”, for Siobhan, from what her younger sibling typed.

The moment you give it

She has no idea what a rap about her would sound like. Then her name comes in on the hook over boom-bap drums, and the whole family watches her try very hard not to dance.

What to rap about her

  • The jobs, shifts or early mornings that kept the house running.
  • The thing she said every time you walked out the door.
  • Her cooking, in detail: the dish, the day, the smell of the kitchen.
  • The time she showed up when you did not expect her to.
  • A sacrifice you only understood later.
  • What you want her to know now that you are grown.

Her name or "Mom"?

Type her first name and the hook says it, which makes the song about her as a person. Type Mom and the chorus sings Mom, which makes it sound like it is coming straight from you. Both work; families with several kids often choose Mom.

Mother’s Day or her birthday

OccasionWhat to lean on
Mother’s DayWhat she did for you growing up
Her birthdayWho she is now: her hobbies, her laugh, her year
A big milestoneRetirement, a degree, a new house, a recovery

For example

A son might type:

  • Mom worked double shifts at the hospital and still made my lunch every morning.
  • She always said "be home before the streetlights come on".
  • She drove me to every basketball tryout, even the ones I did not make.
