Tim McGraw released his touching new song "I Called Mama” just in time for Mother's Day.

In the song, the artist sings about the comfort of hearing his mother's voice and missing home. He previously shared that "I Called Mama" is about "connecting back to what grounds us when life shakes us up."

"We should all call Mama more often… or whoever those people in our lives are that keep us connected to what really matters," he wrote in a message to his fans.

In the song's accompanying video, footage of McGraw's mother can be seen, along with his wife of over 20 years, singer Faith Hill.

McGraw shared the sweet text exchange he had with his mother after she saw the video.

"So does this mean I'm a movie star," she texted him with a laughing emoji, to which he responded, "Lol You've always been a movie star to me."

The singer also released a special video featuring fans submissions of their moms along with footage of himself with his own family.

"My mom's a great mom, Faith is the best mom my girls could have ... I think we should celebrate moms all the time, and that's what this song is about," McGraw says in the video.

"No matter if your mom is still around or not, or if you are married or have kids or have children that call you.... I hope this song can give you a moment of clarity or comfort, or just a smile," McGraw said in another message to his fans.
