Fifteen songs were recorded for "Mama Lilla Would", including "Miss Celie's Blues", written by Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. Four more songs were recorded but not included on the album — "What God Likes on Me", "Enemy", "I Wish You Love" and "End of the Road", the cover version of Boyz II Men's song. "End of the Road" was included exclusively on the "BRAVO: Come Together" compilation album. Most of the songs are available on Petruo's MySpace page. Petruo wrote and composed most of the songs for "Mama Lilla Would", helped by several songwriters. Thorsten Brötzmann and Alex Geringas, who wrote "Drama Queen", wrote one song, "Call Dr. Music".
