mama's boy, LANY's third album, is an intentional return to the trio's Great Plain roots; songwriter/lyricist/producer Paul was born and raised in Oklahoma. After Malibu Nights' world tour, he fled to a countryside studio near Nashville. Showing a cognitive dissonance between his adopted L.A. persona VS his origins, mama's boy is a sweeping tribute to home, heritage, Americana, a symbolic reflection of being a kid today. "There's not one person in the world I don't want to hear mama's boy".
