This traditional-flavored duet by Tim McGraw and his wife Faith Hill was debuted during the ACM Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday April 6, 2014. The two have performed together before, taking home four ACM awards for 1997's "It's Your Love." Other hook-ups between the couple include McGraw's "I Need You" plus Hill's "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me, " "Let's Make Love" and "Like We Never Loved at All."
The song was co-written by Tom Douglas, Jaren Johnston, and Jeffrey Steele. Other collaborations between the trio include Keith Urban's "Raise 'Em Up." "We wrote over at Steeley's place, and if I remember correctly. Tom came in with that title," Johnston recalled to Roughstock. "It was a different play on it, and I can't remember exactly how it was, but once we started working on it, it evolved into 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's.'" "The most exciting part for me was that thing at the end," Johnson continued with a smile. "We had pretty much written the whole thing. We all knew it had to be some sort of twist on it, just because it was too good of a song to just end it normally. I sputtered out me and you back at mama's. We all kind of looked at each other and got quiet, and we were like oh my gosh, that is genius! Then we wrote that whole last chorus."
The song's music video mixes clips from McGraw and Hill's performance at the ACM Awards with footage of the couple in a relaxed setting on their family farm just outside of Nashville.
