}}"Word to the Mutha!" is a song co-written[1] and performed by American contemporary R&B group Bell Biv DeVoe. It originally appeared on their debut studio album Poison under the title "Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny (Word to the Mutha)!",[3] but the title was shortened and a remixed version of the song was issued as the only official single from the group's remix album WBBD-Bootcity! The song features vocals from Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill; and it was the first recorded song to feature all six members of New Edition;[4] although Brown, Tresvant and Gill are credited separately on the single rather than collectively as New Edition.[5]

The song samples "A Star in the Ghetto" by Average White Band and "The Jam" by Graham Central Station.[6]

A music video was filmed in and around the Roxbury Housing Projects in Boston, where five of the six (excluding Johnny Gill) New Edition members grew up.
