Victoria Monét has been magnetizing the masses with her brand new single ‘On My Mama.’

The infectious cut serves as the latest taste of the R&B star’s incoming album ‘Jaguar II’ (due August 25 via Lovett Music/RCA Records).

Its accompanying visual, which was choreographed by Sean Bankhead, boasts a Y2K-inspired theme and serves as a homage to HBCU sororities.

Speaking on the release, Monét said:

“‘On My Mama’ is the soundtrack to positive affirmations. I wrote it postpartum when I wasn’t feeling my best, but spoke to how I wanted to feel. Singing the lyrics about yourself will change your frequency, and elevate a positive mental state. The words speak not only to physical features, but to a feeling too because I believe when you feel good you look even better! Give yourself the words you need to hear because it’s true, you look good! There’s no one like you and that’s on ya mama. Enjoy being yourself witcha fine ass!” 

Watch the video, which features cameos from Monét’s mom and her 2-year-old daughter Hazel, after the jump…
