The video features photos and videos of McGraw's fans with their mothers, including footage of a woman introducing her newborn to her mother through a glass door -- presumably during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We should all call Mama more often… or whoever those people in our lives are that keep us connected to what really matters," McGraw wrote in an Instagram message to his fans late last month.

Earlier this month, McGraw, 53, who has three daughters with Hill, 52, said that the first time he heard the song, "I just sort of fell apart." He added that learning the lyrics so that he could serenade Hill intensified its impact.
