"Mama Told Me" is a song by American rapper Big Boi featuring singer Kelly Rowland, released as the lead single from his second studio album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (2012). Co-written by Swedish synth-pop group Little Dragon, who appeared on the original version of the song, it is a 1980s electro funk record that serves as an ode to Big Boi's mother. Production on the song was handled by The Flush, while co-production was handled by Chris Carmouche and Big Boi himself.

"Mama Told Me" failed to enter any domestic charts, but peaked at number eight on the German Black Chart. The song appeared on the soundtrack to the video game MLB 13: The Show.
