"Hey, Ma" came out on Jagjaguwar on June 3, 2019, the lead single from i,i, Bon Iver's fourth studio album, paired with "U (Man Like)". Justin Vernon wrote the words and built the music with Brad Cook and BJ Burton, and the three produced it together with frequent collaborator Chris Messina. Vernon has said it grew out of his casual studio sessions with Burton, which mostly turn up what he calls death techno; this one stuck, the team kept chipping away at it, and it became the song that seemed to sum up the whole record.
Jenn Wasner sings and plays guitar alongside Vernon, Rob Moose adds violin and viola, and the Worm Crew bring horns. It earned a Record of the Year nomination at the 62nd Grammy Awards.
