Outlawz member EDI Mean provided some background information on this song:

‘Just Like Daddy’ is a song that was done for the Outlawz album. ‘Pac was trying to teach us how to do some shit for the bitches, 'cause all our shit was hard shit, kill 'em up shit, hard times, struggle shit, 'Why my life like shit?’ type shit. ‘Pac was like, 'That shit is cool and people going to love y'all for that. But y'all gotta give 'em something else. You got to get the girls. Y'all got to do some other shit, some lighter shit, some shit people can have fun to.’ So this nigga went up there, and we start doing ‘Just Like Daddy.’

The beat is the ‘Impeach The President’ drums, Hurt-M-Badd just had them shits looping. ‘Pac just start singing melodies like, 'Play this melody here, play that right here.’ Then Val Young come in. ‘Val Young, I want you to sing this shit right here. This is the hook.’ Then we got a love song and shit. Boom.
