"Call Your Mom" is a song by American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, included on the expanded edition of his studio album Stick Season (2022), subtitled We'll All Be Here Forever, released on June 9, 2023. A duet version of the track, with American singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine, was released through Mercury Records and Republic Records on September 15, 2023, as the second single from Stick Season (Forever), another edition of the record.

Background

[edit]

Before the announcement of the duet version, Noah Kahan invited Lizzy McAlpine to join him in performing the track live in Los Angeles,[1] at this 2023–2024 concert tour, in which the song was included.[2][3] Explaining that it is a "tough one" to take on during his shows, the singer stated: "For those asking about 'Call Your Mom' live just know that it is difficult for me to perform that one live every night. I'm hoping I learn to perform it with more composure but for now it’s very much a work in progress".[4]

Months after the release of the duet of "Dial Drunk" with Post Malone,[5] Kahan teased a joint song via social media in September 2023, with a video snippet and a caption that said: "The most special voice on a song that means a whole lot to me".[4] The remix was announced on September 12, along with its release date.[6]

Critical reception

[edit]

Described as a "hard-hitting" song, its "grim and melancholy lyrics" were praised, as well as McAlpine's feature.[7]
