“I wrote, ‘Daddy, I Listened’ as a Father’s Day gift for my dad in 2020 and promised that I would release this song at some point in my artist career. This song is certainly the most vulnerable I’ve been with my songwriting. It captures a childhood innocence that I haven’t expressed in my previous releases. I’m proud of all the love and hard work that went into this song. I hope that ‘Daddy, I Listened’ means as much to you as it does to me,” Barder says.
“I wanna grow up to be like you
To be the calm in all the storms
To never give up, never lose hope
Try my hardest to outperform”
