It first appeared as the opening track to the United Kingdom version of their 1966 album Aftermath. It was released as a single in the United States and peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1966. The B-side "Lady Jane" peaked at number 24.[2] The song deals with the sudden popularity of prescribed calming drugs among housewives, and the potential hazards of overdose or addiction. The drug in question is variously assumed to be meprobamate (Miltown)[3] or diazepam (Valium).[4] Lyrics and compositionWritten by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Mother's Little Helper" was recorded at the RCA Records studios in Hollywood, California, in March 1966.[5] The song begins with the line that is also heard as the last line in the repeated bridge section: {{poemquote|What a drag it is getting oldKids are different today, I hear every mother say Mother needs something today to calm her down And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day[6]}} Toward the end of the song, the mothers are warned: {{poemquote|And if you take more of those, you will get an overdoseNo more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper They just helped you on your way, to your busy dying day[6]}} The song is based around folksy chords and an eastern-flavoured guitar riff sounding like a sitar, but is a slide riff played on an electric 12-string, played by Keith Richards. Keith Richards notes, that the ending of the song being the idea of Bill Wyman, who also contributed a powerful and distinctive bass riff.[7] Personnel
