Jamaican dancehall recording artist Vershon has reunited with Los Angeles-based producer Jenelle Alexia, head of A’Legends Productions, to launch his second heartfelt single titled *A Mother Like You*. The track is pulled from the artist’s highly anticipated upcoming extended play (EP), *To A Queen*.
The new single made its official debut on Wednesday, May 6 — a date that coincided with Jamaica’s annual national Teachers’ Day celebrations, and fell just four days ahead of the global observation of Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 10. According to Alexia, the overlapping release date with Teachers’ Day was an unplanned happy accident, rather than a pre-arranged marketing move.
“It was a mere coincidence that I had set the release date on Teachers’ Day in Jamaica. This goes to show that when the universe aligns all things work together for the good,” she shared in a post-release statement.
As a mother herself, Alexia brings a deeply personal perspective to the project. She explained that the tribute single extends beyond celebrating biological mothers, aiming to honor the diverse array of mother figures that play irreplaceable roles in communities and families across the world. From stepmothers and foster caregivers to aunts, teachers and mentors who step into maternal roles, the track is crafted to recognize all women who offer nurturing support.
“I decided it was needed at this time to inspire all mothers and all women to push on through the struggles and to let them know how loved they are and appreciated for all they do,” Alexia added, outlining the core mission behind the collaboration.
To complement the audio release, the official music video for *A Mother Like You* premiered in sync with Mother’s Day on May 10, giving audiences a visual companion to the heartfelt tribute just in time for their own family celebrations of maternal love.
