The UK’s biggest global breakthrough artist of 2016, Jonas Blue, has today unveiled his new single ‘Mama’ feat. Australian singer/songwriter and YouTube sensation William Singe. Platinum hitmaker Jonas’ latest release coincides with the start of his debut European tour, which sees him visit Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris with a full live band, finishing off with a headline show at London’s Heaven next Wednesday 10th May.
‘Mama’ flaunts a hooky marimba melody and rumbling snares, underpinning Singe’s striking vocal performance. Jonas co-wrote ‘Mama’ with Ed Drewett (Little Mix, One Direction, Olly Murs) and Sam Romans (Disclosure, Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys).
Jonas comments: “Mama is a song about that period of your life when you're young and carefree, without stress, bills and problems and all you care about is having a good time with your friends every day and night!”Official Lyrics
Where should we run to
We got the world in our hands and we're ready to play
They say we're wasted
But how can we waste it if we're loving every day
Ok
I got the keys to the universe so stay
With me
Cos I got the keys babe
Don't wanna wake up
One day wishing that we'd done more
I wanna live fast
Never look back, it's what we're here for
Don't wanna wake up
One day wondering
Where'd it all go
Cos we'll be home before we know
I wanna hear you singing
Hey Mama don't stress your mind
We ain't coming home tonight
Hey ma we're gonna be alright
Dry those eyes
We'll be back in the morning
When the sun starts to rise
So Mama don't stress your mind
So Mama don't stress your mind
Mama, Mama, Mama
Yeah
We ain’t coming home tonight
Mama, Mama, Mama
Yeah
We ain’t coming home tonight
Where should we run to
We got a ticket that takes us wherever we like
We got our problems
But just for the minute let’s push all our troubles aside
Alright
Cos we got the keys to universe inside
Our minds
Ye we got the keys babe
