On August 23, 2022, CJ E&M announced that the "Mnet Asian Music Awards" would be rebranded as simply the "MAMA Awards" going forward. ^[2] The theme for the ceremony wa "K-POP World Citizenship" with sub-themes per night: "The world we build together" for first day, and "We are K-POP" for the second. The ceremony is the first to carry the new rebranded name, the first to take place overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 24th in the show's history.

Selection process

All songs that have been released from November 1, 2021, to October 21, 2022, are eligible to be nominated. ^[4] On November 9, 2022, Mnet announced that due to the changes in Twitter which makes securing and collecting data impossible, they will remove all Twitter votes from the Worldwide Icon of the Year and Worldwide Fan's Choice category without making adjustments to the other sources. ^{[5] [ better source needed ]}
