Background and composition[]
"Mama Lover" is Serebro's eighth single. The single was originally released on August 8, 2011. However, when it was announced that a music video was going to be released, a Russian release was also announced. There are two official versions; the English version and the Russian version. Both versions were released as a digital download.
Unlike the Russian version (whose title means Mom Luba) Mama Lover or Mother Lover is an euphemism of the word Motherfucker
Music Video[]
A music video was released on YouTube on 15 September 2011. However, the Russian version of the song was released instead of the English version, although the latter was the official single release. The music video features Elena, Anastasia and Olga driving through Russian streets, through a live-camera-shot based film. It received some censorship, as it features Olgas wearing and Elena showing her underwear, even if it is pixilated in the first place. It is currently Russia's most viewed music video to date, having over 20 million views on YouTube. The video has at times been criticized because of the girls' actions and the presence of condoms, swearing and Olga's careless driving.
The English version of "Mama Lover" was released on YouTube.
