"It was during the pandemic and we were writing the record, and I was having a bad day/ I just said to myself, 'At the end of the day, I'm just my mama's boy,' so I decided I was going to name it Carolyn's Boy after that. She was such a big influence on me and she was so important in my life. It was time for me to do something special like that."
