Career

The group consists of Ashley Haynes, Loulou Lamotte and Dinah Yonas Manna. Founding member Paris Renita left the group in 2019.
As a four-piece, the group provided backing vocals for John Lundvik's Melodifestivalen 2019 entry "Too Late for Love". Lundvik went on to win the competition and got to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 held in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the Mamas continuing to provide backing vocals. The song finished 5th in the grand final on 18 May 2019.
In late 2019, it was announced that the Mamas would take part in Melodifestivalen in 2020, this time in their own right with their entry "Move". They performed in the first heat on 1 February 2020 in Linköping, and qualified directly for the final that took place on 7 March 2020 in the Friends Arena in Stockholm.
The Mamas went on to win Melodifestivalen 2020 with a total of 137 points, meaning they would represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 held in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The contest was cancelled in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
