This song was a change in image for Ozzy showing a softer side of the “Prince of Darkness.”
Wylde said the guitar solo in this song is so easy, he could play it in his sleep. He stated once that some of his favorite songs are simple structurally.
“Mama, I'm Coming Home” is Ozzy's only solo Top 40 hit, his only other was his duet with Lita Ford “Close My Eyes Forever.”
