“Mama, I'm Coming Home” by Ozzy Osbourne

"Mama, I'm Coming Home" is the big, aching power ballad on No More Tears, Ozzy Osbourne's sixth studio album, from 1991. Ozzy wrote the music with Zakk Wylde, and Lemmy Kilmister supplied the lyrics. Wylde's guitar rings and soars, John Sinclair's keyboards fill in the sky behind it, Bob Daisley and Randy Castillo keep it steady, and Ozzy sings with an unguarded tenderness. Duane Baron and John Purdell produced it and Michael Wagener mixed.

It became his only solo top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in his lifetime, peaking at 28, and reached 2 on Mainstream Rock Tracks. When he played his final show, Back to the Beginning, in July 2025, it was the one song in his five-song set not drawn from Blizzard of Ozz.
