Song |
"Daddy" is a song by British recording artist and songwriter Emeli Sandé, featuring Naughty Boy. It was released on 27 November 2011 as the second single from her upcoming debut album Our Version of Events, which was released on 13 February 2012.
Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Daddy" was first released onto YouTube on 21 October 2011 at a total length of three minutes and twenty seconds.[1]
Synposis
The video features Sandé singing, whilst burglars, in which one of them is the person Sandé is singing about, raid a supermarket, and one of them takes the money from the cash machine. In the end, Sandé is in the supermarket, whilst a burglar approaches her. He then takes off his mask. In the end, the burglar finds a folded piece of paper in his fridge.
Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"My friends keep telling you what he did last night/ How many girls he kissed, how many he liked," she insists over haunting church bell chimes as she gives her bezzie a reality check on love; before a mish-mash of thrashing acoustics pound out with more drama than the EastEnders cliffhanger outro. By the time the catchy-as-cholera chorus kicks in, it's obvious that 2012 is Sande's for the taking. At least Cowell's got one thing right this year, eh?
