This song is about that tension – that feeling of wanting to assert my independence while also dealing with the disapproval of someone I love and respect, like my dad. It's a classic story of teenage rebellion, but it's also deeply personal to me.
I wanted the music to reflect that raw energy, so we went for a sound that blended my country roots with the indie rock vibes. The goal was to create something angsty but also empowering, a song that other young women could relate to when they felt like they had to choose between their family's expectations and their own heart.
Ultimately, 'My Daddy Doesn't Like You' is about standing up for what you believe in, even when it's hard. It's about asserting your independence and trusting your own judgment, even when the people closest to you don't understand. I hope that when people listen to this song, they feel a sense of catharsis and the courage to be true to themselves, no matter what.
