Theo Wargo, Getty Images Childish Gambino dominated the talk on social media early this month when he dropped the provocative 'This is America' music video, knocking Drake from his seemingly permanent perch at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 on his way to pulling in 200 million views on YouTube.

WILL HEATH/NBC On the one hand, it's a sobering reflection on the homegrown terror of gun violence in the NRA's America. But it also touches on the tendency of entertainers to keep dancing through the carnage like there's not a riot goin' on – because as grandma always said, you 'need to get your money,' casualties be damned, while the schoolchildren capture it all on their smartphones.

It's an intimate look at what it means to want to be attractive in the age of selfies. By the second verse, she's worried that she did too good a job of looking sexy in that latest photo. 'This pic's lookin’ better than the real / So when my clothes are off and we’re together / I probably won’t look this way again / And I wonder will you still want me then?'

But Standell-Preston, a masterful lyricist with a voice that oozes soul and raw emotion in the same breath, really hits her stride here on the oft-repeated, increasingly urgent chorus, pleading 'Breasts pushed up I’m trying to show you /Breasts pushed up I’m trying to show you / I have collar bones.'

The jazz-inflected melody sounds more like something Ben Folds would have written than anything in OutKast's catalog. But if Andre's half of 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' suggested anything about what we could safely expect from Big Boi's partner in the future it was that all bets were more than likely off. As the title suggests, it's not only a Mother's Day song.
