Behind My Mama Told Me, the new single off her upcoming album January Skies, due in February 2024, is the unconditional support of her mother, who always trusted her daughter’s talent and ambition. Speaking of the track, Michelle Daly says: “I wrote this song about my experiences in the music and performing arts industry, highlighting the constant struggles, rejections, disappointments, and uncertainties that artists often face. We keep going back for more despite no guarantee of success. It is also about facing the inevitability of the unfulfillment of our childhood hopes and dreams.” But those fears didn’t have much place in her home. “Fortunately, I am lucky to have an incredibly supportive mother who, even in the face of these challenges, always reassures me that everything will eventually turn out okay, even if it feels far from the truth! I wanted an old-style R&B feel for this track, which is evident in the Bill Withers-inspired groove.”
