"Hey Ma" was written and produced by frontman Justin Vernon with producers Brad Cook and BJ Burton. The track was also produced by frequent collaborator Chris Messina. In a segment with Apple Music, Vernon said about the process of creating the song:
"It just felt like a good strong song; we knew people would get it in their head. A couple of these tunes, and some of the tunes from the last album, I sort of peck around the studio with BJ Burton from time to time, and 90 percent of the stuff we make is death techno or something. So, there’s another one that sort of just hang around with a stake in the ground, so to speak. And then our team–the three of us and the rest of everyone–just kept etching away at it, and it ended up becoming the song that felt emblematic of the record."
