Toby Keith – Who’s Your Daddy?

About the song

“Who’s Your Daddy?” is a country music anthem that has become a staple in the genre. Written and recorded by Toby Keith, the song was released in August 2002 as the second single from his album Unleashed. The song’s catchy melody and humorous lyrics quickly made it a fan favorite, and it reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, marking Keith’s sixth consecutive single to top the chart.

The song’s background is just as interesting as its success. Keith had been trying to write the song for years, but it wasn’t until 2001 that he finally found the perfect melody. The song is about a young woman and a sugar daddy who can’t seem to get their love life in order. Keith has said that the song is everything he ever wanted to put into a song – it has a great groove, attitude, humor, and even a nod to Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas.”

The song’s music video premiered on CMT in September 2002 and features Tiffany Fallon and a cameo appearance by music parodist Cledus T. Judd. The video also showcases Keith’s 2002 concept Ford Mighty F-350 truck. The song has been parodied by Cledus T. Judd himself, who released a song titled “Where’s Your Mommy?” on his 2003 album A Six Pack of Judd.

“Who’s Your Daddy?” has become a classic country song, and its success can be attributed to its catchy melody, humorous lyrics, and memorable music video. The song’s impact can be seen in its chart performance, as it peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song’s legacy continues to be felt in the country music world, and it remains one of Toby Keith’s most popular and enduring songs.

Lyrics

Whoo!
Alright

Here you come knockin’ on my door
Baby, tell me what you got on your mind
I guess those college boys all went home for the summertime
Yeah, you’re lookin’ right, lookin’ good
Lookin’ like a woman should so why is it so hard to find
A place to lay your pretty little head down once in a while?

You run on a little tough luck baby
Don’t you sweat it?
Everything is waiting inside for you
You know I got it, come and get it

Who’s your daddy? Who’s your baby?
Who’s your buddy? Who’s your friend?
And who’s the one guy that you come runnin’ to
When your love-life starts tumblin’?

I got the money if you got the honey
Let’s cut a deal, let’s make a plan
Who’s your daddy? Who’s your baby?
Who’s your buddy? Who’s your man?

You might’ve run on a little tough luck baby, did you?
Well, don’t you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for ya
You know I got it, so come and get it

Who’s your daddy? Who’s your baby?
Who’s your buddy? And who’s your friend?
And who’s the one guy that you come runnin’ to
Yeah, when your love-life starts tumblin’?

I got the money if you got the honey
Let’s cut a deal let’s make a plan
Who’s your daddy? Who’s your baby?
Who’s your buddy? Who’s your man?

Who’s your daddy? Who’s your baby?
Who’s your buddy? Who’s your man?
