"Momma's Place" is a song by Irish recording artist Róisín Murphy, released as a digital single on 18 January 2010.[2]

On 5 January 2010, after finding out the song had leaked to the Internet, Murphy commented on it via Facebook, saying: "I hear there has been a leak of Momma's Place. Oh dear, I am all for the freedom of the internet, it's just that the quality control is sometimes a little amiss... and I'm funny about stuff like that. The rip that is available is not up to scratch."[3] She later uploaded a high-quality version of the track onto her own MySpace and Facebook pages, making its official premiere.

On 25 March 2010,[4] it was announced that Perez Hilton would be teaming up with Murphy and Indaba Music for a "Momma's Place" remix contest.[5] For the contest, fans were allowed to download multiple stems of the song in order to create their own version.
