"Treat Me Like Your Mother" was the second single The Dead Weather cut loose from their debut album Horehound in 2009, following "Hang You from the Heavens" out the door. It sounds like a band with the brakes cut: Jack White behind the drum kit trading vocals with Alison Mosshart, who adds percussion, while Dean Fertita piles on guitar, organ, piano and synth and Jack Lawrence holds down the bass. White produced it and mixed it with engineer Vance Powell.
All four members share the writing credit, and Mosshart has described a method where everybody chased their own ideas, she scrawled most of the lyrics, and songs were ready to record inside an hour. The seven-inch came backed with "You Just Can't Win", a Van Morrison song first cut by Them, and the track landed in Rock Band as downloadable content to coincide with the album.
