The ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee honors her mother with new song

ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year nominee Kylie Morgan celebrates Mother’s Day early with the release of “Scratching the Surface (Mama’s Song).” The sentimental track, written by Kylie, spotlights the special bond between a mother and daughter and speaks to the sacrifices mothers make for their children. The lyrics beautifully weave a story of gratitude and hope, straight from a daughter to her mother.

“I wrote ‘Scratching the Surface (Mama’s Song)’ as a sense of hope for my mama. She is newly an empty nester with my baby sister going off to college and I felt the sense of her feeling like her purpose was now in her past,” shares Morgan. “I then surprised my mom by singing it live with my sister on stage. After sharing it on social media, it turns out millions of mama’s and daughters felt the same way, which moved this song to the front of the line when it came to my next release. With Mother’s Day coming up, I truly hope this song brings healing and validation to everyone out there with this same feeling.”

Fans keep up with the singer-songwriter on her highly engaged social media pages, which is where Morgan debuted “Scratching the Surface (Mama’s Song).” Following the huge reaction from fans and followers online, Morgan released the song just in time for Mother’s Day. Morgan continues on her headlining Making It Up As I Go Tour, with a recent stop on Stagecoach’s Mane Stage, and will be joining Walker Hayes on his Same Drunk Tour.
