Momma - "Lucky" from the 2022 album Household Name on Polyvinyl.

On today\'s Song of the Day, Brooklyn duo Momma aimed to write "a sappy and sentimental love song." The track is a stand-out on their latest LP Household Name, which is a powerhouse of \'90s influences and grunge-y guitars.\\xa0

\\u201cI wrote it after my significant other and I had to spend an unknown amount of time apart from each other on opposite sides of the country,\\u201d guitarist/vocalist Etta Friedman said in a press statement. \\u201cI wanted it to feel anthemic, like a sappy and sentimental love song, but I still wanted to speak on how exciting it feels to know you found true treasure with someone you are in love with.\\u201d\\xa0

For its accompanying music video, they tapped directors\\xa0Emma Penrose and Zack Shorrosh for a clip inspired by\\xa0Green Day\\u2019s \\u201cWalking Contradiction.\\u201d

"We didn\\u2019t want to get too cheesy and literal,"\\xa0Penrose shared,\\xa0"so, Etta suggested some ideas from the Green Day \\u2018Walking Contradiction\\u2019 video as well as the fun and etherealness of certain Beabadoobee videos. In the end, we feel like the video displays how much fun it was to film."
