The song 'Hey Mama' by Heather Headley is about a woman who goes out with her friends and gets approached by a man who fails to give her the respect she demands. The man tries to impress her with his possessions, but she sees through his attempts and decides it's best to leave. The chorus of the song sees the man persistently calling out to her, requesting that she come back and sit with him in the bar. The woman in the song recognizes that the man is one of those guys who is easily impressed by material things and wants a woman who is equally impressed. She knows that she is not that kind of girl and needs a man who loves her for who she is. The song emphasizes the importance of strong values and self-respect, stressing that true love should not be based on material possessions. Overall, 'Hey Mama' serves as a reminder to individuals that they should not compromise their values for someone else and should always strive for a relationship built on mutual respect and love.
