Composition and lyrics


"Mother Tongue" has been described as a pop rock[3][4] and dance-pop song.[5] According to Jordan Fish, "Mother Tongue" is the spiritual successor of "Drown".[6] The track is a love song dedicated to Oliver Sykes' wife, Alissa Salls.[7] 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."[6]


Music video


The music video for "Mother Tongue" was released via YouTube on 9 May 2019.[8] It was filmed in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.[9]
