"Baby Mama" is a song recorded by American singer Fantasia for her debut studio album Free Yourself (2004). It was written and produced by Vito Colapietro, Neely Dinkins, and Harold Lilly. The song samples from "There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference Table)" by American group The Chi-Lites; thus, Eugene Record and Barbara Acklin are also credited as songwriters. "Baby Mama" was released as the second single from Free Yourself on February 14, 2005, by J Records.
A moderate commercial success, "Baby Mama" peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 16 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Critics accused the song of sending the wrong message about sexual activity and pregnancy to teens. The song takes its title from the slang term baby mama. Fantasia stated that "Baby Mama" is dedicated to "all of those single moms out there who tough it out to take care of the kids and work two jobs, go to school".
