What it is
"Ms. Jackson" is a 2000 single from OutKast's album Stankonia. Addressed to the mother of the narrator's former partner, it deals with the difficulties of having a child outside marriage and carries an apologetic tone as the narrator promises to support his child regardless. André 3000 has said it was partly inspired by his relationship with Erykah Badu and her mother.
