“Daddy” is a song recorded by Beyoncé for her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love (2003). The song was not originally intended to be featured on the album, but Beyoncé was able to record the song after the release date of her debut album was postponed. “Daddy” was first released to the US iTunes Store as a single on June 3, 2003, through Columbia Records.

Beyoncé explained that the song’s development was motivated by the devotion and the loyalty her father/then-manager, Mathew Knowles, has towards his family members.
