Mother's Little Helper was written in reference to the drug Valium, a benzodiazepine tranquilizer, which was developed in the 1960s and has since, successfully marketed, despite the significant dependence potential. The allusion refers not only to the sung " Mother" ( " And though she's not really ill / There's a little yellow pill / She goes running for the shelter / Of her ' mother 's little helper ' " ), but also on the attitude of the 1960s. These years were marked by large open- air festivals, such as 1967, the Human Be-In with 20,000 participants in San Francisco, 1969, the Rolling Stones concert in Hyde Park, where 200,000 young people arrived. The highlight was the Woodstock Festival, where in August of the same year 300,000 people gathered to the beat and pop concert in 1970 on the Isle of Wight, where about a million came, and the drug culture of the 1960s described by the Rolling Stones.

"Mother's Little Helper " is still regarded as a paraphrase of barbiturates and tranquilizers.

On the album Uncertain pleasures of 1990, the song appeared in the version of Mary Coughlan. The Berlin-based band Stereo Total in 2006 published a remake of the song on their album Discotheque. The American singer Liz Phair contributed their version of the song in the soundtrack of Desperate Housewives.
