Yes I know I am not the one who made...someone so beautiful as you.And I know I'm not the one who made, another dream come true.But I've always given you something that, a lot of kids never had.love and a happy family, now you see...love and a happy family, now you see... That makes me your dad.[Verse]Daddy's home my babies crying, I knew there was something wrong.I took her and by her little hand and ask her,if my baby been crying long.She said today mama told me you're not my dad,daddy tell me it ain't true...and I said let me try and help to ease your mind,I've got a little different point of view.[Chorus]Before I go I want you to know,that life is just like The Dance,I wanted to tell you, then I turned around,you grew up before I had the chance.[Chorus]I want you to understand, just where I'm coming from'I never wanted to let you down,I'm not the one who made the rules,and when is a good time to bring up the past,don't be frightened or so confused,let me try and help to ease your mind,with a couple of them, I love youS'[Chorus]Ryan St. LouisRecorded by country singer Ryan Scott.

"Daddy" is a song by South Korean musician Psy, featuring CL of 2NE1. It was originally slated for release in 2014; however, the release of the song was pushed back to November 30, 2015, in order to make further improvements. It was made available to digital outlets through YG Entertainment as the lead single of his sixth studio album Chiljip Psy-da (2015). It samples hooks derived from will.i.am's 2007 song "I Got It from My Mama". An accompanying music video for "Daddy" was posted to his YouTube channel in conjunction with the single's release, and became his third music video to surpass 500 million views on the platform in June 2020.
"Daddy" was initially slated to be released in August 2014, as a follow-up to his Snoop Dogg collaboration "Hangover".[1] On August 8, Psy reportedly recently began shooting a music video for his upcoming single in Seoul and Busan with director Cho Soo-hyun, who had previously worked with him on the videos for "Gangnam Style" and "Gentleman". Several residents in Busan posted to their social media accounts upon seeing Psy "making monkey-like dance moves for an hour" with an electric sign prop that read "Psy in the sky" with a slew of skyscrapers in the background.[2] After no news regarding its release in August, some fans expected that Psy would unveil his upcoming track at YG's Power World Tour concert in Beijing on October 19, 2014; however, he did not perform any new songs.[3] On December 1, an official from YG Entertainment told media outlets that the release of "Daddy" was not overturned as some had thought, rather Psy would release the single along with a new album when it is in a more "satisfactory state".[4]
In July 2015, Psy's agency announced that new music was to be released "very soon", following series of delays due to Psy wanting to obtain "a new direction that attracts wider audiences and to find his own style."[5] It was not until November 25 where YG confirmed that Psy's 7th studio-album Chiljip Psy-da, along with its lead single "Daddy", would be released on December 1, 2015 at midnight local time.[6] Both "Daddy" and the album was released at the same time as planned, and the song was made available for digital download and streaming on platforms in several different countries.
"Daddy" received generally negative reviews from music critics. The Huffington Post said "The mildly disturbing imagery subsides as the main character gets older, but the video doesn't get any less weird," referring to the "creepy shots of Psy's face."[7] Rolling Stone described the single as "another slab of brash synth-heavy K-pop and a video filled with outlandish costume changes and dance moves" and with other adjectives such as "ridiculous" and "silly."[8] Jess Denham from The Independent called it dreadful and the dancing terrible, with bizarrely catchy lyrics "about owing your body to your dad".[9] Mike Fenn of Forbes felt that the song seemed to garner less attention than the video, rather people tune in to see the video's "bizarre imagery" instead of the song itself.[8] On a less critical note, Newsweek's Dipo Faloyin wrote that "To suggest the video has a specific theme would be to limit the unique world in which Psy's genius exists."[10]
In the United States, "Daddy" peaked at number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his fourth single to enter the chart and the fifth K-pop song to do so overall.[18] It sold 4,000 digital downloads in the country and received 3 million streams in its first week of release. On the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart, the song debuted at number six, making it Psy's fourth top-ten entry.[19] It was ranked the fifth best-selling international song on the 2016 year-end issue of the US World Digital Song Sales chart.[20] In Canada, the song peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.[21] The song additionally peaked at number 20 in Finland[22] and number 103 in Australia.[23]
The music video for "Daddy" was uploaded to Psy's official YouTube channel in conjunction with the release of the single. In the video, Psy debuts a new dance move, which involves flinging his legs and arms in alternate directions. He appears in multiple guises, including a baby, student, dancer, and a balding middle-aged man.[24] Forbes' Mike Fenn highlighted the video for its strange and bizarre imagery, where he wrote it "consists of everything from adults' faces superimposed onto dancing infants to elderly men screaming through town while riding on motor scooters."[25] Within 24 hours of its release, the video received nearly 6 million views on YouTube.[26] The music video surpassed 200 million views in October 2016,[27] and became his third video to surpass 500 million views on the platform in June 2020.[28]
The song was also featured in the episode "The Unincludeds" in the thirteenth season of American Dad!, which was broadcast on April 11, 2016. In June of the same year, Ubisoft announced that "Daddy" would be one of the 40 new tracks that will be added to the soundtrack of the video game Just Dance 2017.[29]
What do we do with the pain, sorrow, and struggle we experience in this world? So many things are so messed up, so many things are upside down (Isaiah 5:20). In their new single Heaven Changes Everything Bid Daddy Weave shares a song birthed from pain, sorrow, and loss to speak THE TRUTH to these questions.
Heaven Changes Everything starts with an ethereal piano establishing a musical motif heard throughout the piece in different instruments. The four-on-the-floor drive pushes the song forward at a good clip, giving it energy. There are many sonic layers in the sound reflecting the depth of the theme of the song. The accompaniment is rich in organic and electronic elements, with a break at the 2:16 mark that loads the song like a cannon to a chorus that launches the song to its conclusion.

The feelings of guilt at separation are only natural and of course it is often hard for a child, particularly a young child to understand why their parent is absent. The lyrics then can be interpreted as not just the guilt of separation but also of touring and life on the road away from family.
The song also talks of acceptance and forgiveness, trying to come to terms with the situation. The child accepting that the parent is absent, but also wishing to sooth the guilt of the parent despite the pain felt and the parent wanting that same acceptance and forgiveness.
The Oklahoma country music megastar knows this from personal experience: Krystal Keith surprised him with the heartfelt song for the father-daughter dance at her own wedding, and the swaggering singer barely made it back to the hotel room before his tears started to fall.
Co-written with acclaimed songwriter Derek Winkley and produced by Grammy and Dove award-winning engineer Jonathan Crone, the song is a touching tribute to the profound impact her father made on her life, instilling a spirit of faith, hope and trust that carries her daily.
Livin' in this world aint easy
You wanna give up sometimes and
Even though i got my girl beside me
A fathers love is hard to find see
Every boywants his daddy there
Fells like his daddy cares
Feels like his daddy will be there
Watchin' on his graduation day
And be ther to take the pain away
To every daddy that might hear this song see
Tne day you'll look up and your baby be grown yeah
You can't get back all the years thats past so
While you have the chance you better make it last
Didnt get the chance to say goodbye and
I wish that i could see you one more time and
Now i gotta keep my mama strong
Guess you never miss
Something til' its gone!!

Psy's "Gangnam Style" came out over three years ago, and since then the only thing we in American have really heard from Psy is the song "Gentleman," which was successful but didn't go off nearly as well as the first video. Now Psy's trying again. His new video for his song "DADDY" is certainly zany and weird. I wouldn't say it's as zany or weird as "Gangnam Style," but it tries. It does, however, contain a much more cohesive central idea and pushes that idea to its limits, all the while maintaining a musical style halfway between Korean and American pop.
