"Mother Tongue" on YouTube |
"Mother Tongue" has been described as a pop rock,[3][4] dance-pop,[5] and pop metal song.[6] According to Jordan Fish, "Mother Tongue" is the spiritual successor of "Drown".[7] The track is a love song dedicated to Oliver Sykes' wife, Alissa Salls.[8] Fish said of the song:
"Vocal-wise it's quite a big song. There's a little bit of Portuguese in there, which is quite unusual. It's kind of a big, anthemic song. It's probably as close as we get to something like "Drown" on this album. It's a love song, so it's an emotional one."[7]
The music video for "Mother Tongue" was released via YouTube on 9 May 2019.[9] It was filmed in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.[10]
