i have been listening to this track since it was released and here i still am in 2022 appreciating it just as much. for some reason it drenches me in emotions but i still listen to it. its as raw as you can get. naughty boy has composed a ridiculously heavy backing track. the whole thing is a masterpiece.
Reminds me of my mum so much !shes been on heavy drugs 29 years im 30 now and it still takes her over every time she my brother 15years in . Born afdicted to all this shit ! And this song is so fitting it saves her its her daddy and life makea me sad will never see her normal
I can't believe I just found this song, beautiful. Emeli Sande - "It signifies the one thing you keep going back to. People who are quite artistic usually get obsessive over very small things that aren't really conducive to what they need to do."
emeli is an angel. her music gave me a lot of strength when I needed it the most. and I think she has also finished medical school or college coz she said that the song "my kind of love" is inspired by that time of her life. all her songs are magical especially clown and my kind of love. love emeli 😘🙏 sing to us more pls ❤👏
This song reflects what everyone feels. Everyone has a person like that in their lives, past or present. He shouldn't be there, he's the black patch on your heart, and he's making it hard for you to breathe. But you can't help it...because it looks like you need him and it looks like you love him.
One of those songs that you want to hear over and over.... I think it has a double meaning.... Drug Addiction as well as our Addiction to Love. Powerful song.
I have listened to Emeli's album like 2 or 3 times and I've memorized almost all of the song's lyrics! This woman is singing with all her heart and soul and I can feel all the emotions! And everythig she's saying is just brilliant! Hope to hear a lot of her in the future! xoxo from Bulgaria
I discovered this woman by mistake last night looking for the Naughty Boy song with Beyonce on Rhapsody. It was the best mistake I ever made....!! I love her...!! New fan here...!
I was looking for only one song from her and I came across alot of good songs from her two years ago and I went and brought her album last year hee album is worth buying.
He pulled you closer said he'll never let go. You couldn't trust him but you never said no. In that moment he made you forgot how it feels when he's gone
The song is about drug addiction. He stops taking drugs (out your system, yeah it took you a while), but them he's going through withdrawal (dancing, isn't actually dancing, it's the jitters). Then is the temptation to go back to drugs because it makes everything easier to bear hence the chorus.
I dated a guy who introduced me to drugs and slowly bit by bit got me strung me out in order to control my life. I got out after years of abuse and I'm clean. Songs can hit differently for different people. For me it's an exact story. My ex WAS the drug.
This resonates so much-I played it to death, the lyrics just crawl inside me and Emeli's voice is stunning I think. Every time she reaches "You couldn't trust him but you never said no"...I have to take a minute man. Just...perfect.
I remember I used to think this song was so good a few years ago and today it’s triggering cause of my alcohol issues but I can’t stop listening to it. Beautiful song.
I love this song. I have it on my fav list on my phone. For some reason, I have never seen the video. It took a whole different turn from what I have been hearing all this time. Emeli is soooo amazing and I love the sone even more. Why is she not being forced onto the radio so everyone can hear and appreciate what she offers.
I am officially obessed with her and her music omg. I'm in the middle of hearing the rest of the album but I can't help repeating the majority of the tracks I've hear so far, this one included. I was hoping there was a video for this one lol
To tell a story just listen to the words. DADDY is any one or thing that you don't want really its poison. Put it in you pocket, kiss on the mouth, you got away but sometime our old self may trip down memory lane, remember that the grass may look greener BUT do you really want to start `paying' that bill again. God bless Emile true storyteller.
First time I heard about Emeli was in London in a Coldplay charity concert. We were tourists and the original Coldplay gig was sold out. They announced a second gig day after. We flew all the way from Finland and Emeli was the warm up. We were blown away by this nobody!
Always found this woman so inspiring in terms of confidence and genuine self love, always wished I could cut my hair like this and be that beautiful.i have recently and feel amazing xx
Her voice is so versatile! She's like a Beyonce, Adele, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and SOUL all mixed into one. LOVE her music and what she represents - so refreshing :-)
LYRICS: He's out your system yeah it too you a while. You got your family back and you got your smile. And you promised your sister that you'd never go back again... But friends keep telling you what he did last night. How many girls he kissed how many he liked. And you try to remember that there's no way you could ever be friends... But now you're: You're looking like you really like him, like him. And now you're feeling like you miss him, miss him. You're speaking like you really love him, love him. And now you're dancing like you need him, need him. Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya. It can be the one you run to, the one that saves ya. It can be your daddy daddy, if you take it gladly gladly. Daddy Daddy... He kissed you on the lips and opened your eyes. You had to catch your breath got such a surprise. And you always forgot how it feels to live in his lies. He pulled you closer said he'll never let go. You couldn't trust him but you never said no. In that moment he made you forgot how it feels when he's gone... But now you're: You're looking like you really like him, like him. And now you're feeling like you miss him, miss him. You're speaking like you really love him, love him. And now you're dancing like you need him, need him. Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya. It can be the one you run to, the one that saves ya. It can be your daddy daddy, if you take it gladly gladly. Daddy Daddy... You're looking like you really like him, like him. (I can kinda like him.) And now you're feeling like you miss him, miss him. (And now you miss him.) You're looking like you really love him, love him. (And now you love him.) And now you're dancing like you need him, need him. (Need him...) (Chorus) x2 Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya. It can be the one you run to, the one that saves ya. It can be your daddy daddy, if you take it gladly gladly. Daddy Daddy...
The more you listen the more amazing the lyrics are. From the "he's out your system, it took you a while." The first part is him getting clean.. and the "Now you're dancing you like you need him need him." Took me a while to figure out she's talking about withdrawal.
The lyrics message it's so right "He kissed you on the lips and opened your eyes You had to catch your breath, got such a surprise And you almost forgot how it feels to live in his lie" 10 useless minutes of unexplainable pleasure, captured in a wrecked life, no + thanks.
I understand it as taking drugs to help you get over a difficult or painful situation or even another addiction then you end up with problems because you become addicted to something else.
***** yes like Gemma said something that might create boundaries from your obsession. I think it it's something secretive that's why Emilia sings "don't tell anyone I gave ya"
i have been listening to this track since it was released and here i still am in 2022 appreciating it just as much. for some reason it drenches me in emotions but i still listen to it. its as raw as you can get. naughty boy has composed a ridiculously heavy backing track. the whole thing is a masterpiece.
2025 ❤

Still rocking with this song 7.5 years later. It’s captivating and electric.
I can't believe I just found this song, beautiful.
Emeli Sande - "It signifies the one thing you keep going back to. People who are quite artistic usually get obsessive over very small things that aren't really conducive to what they need to do."
Then daum I must be artistic cause I obsess over small things but then get bored easily.
2024 and still one of the most awesome songs ever. I cannot get enough of it.
The remix’s are great too ❤
emeli is an angel. her music gave me a lot of strength when I needed it the most. and I think she has also finished medical school or college coz she said that the song "my kind of love" is inspired by that time of her life. all her songs are magical especially clown and my kind of love. love emeli 😘🙏 sing to us more pls ❤👏
This lady is a miracle, so is her voice.
Yes her voice is amazing
Seen her live she's magical
This song reflects what everyone feels. Everyone has a person like that in their lives, past or present. He shouldn't be there, he's the black patch on your heart, and he's making it hard for you to breathe. But you can't help it...because it looks like you need him and it looks like you love him.
This song is actually about drugs :)
This girl provokes so much without the usual clichés.
i love the song
Real voice. Real music. Great Message. Total Package.
Serbia loves you and your music...
One of those songs that you want to hear over and over.... I think it has a double meaning.... Drug Addiction as well as our Addiction to Love. Powerful song.
Brings tears into my eyes... as a former drug addictive, I went through lot of stuff. I lost the trust of the people who meant a lot to me. "sobbing"
lebogang malebo well done on your achievement! It's a hard road for many! X
❤️❤️ You're never alone..
You are love.
Same 🥺 glad someone understands
I have listened to Emeli's album like 2 or 3 times and I've memorized almost all of the song's lyrics! This woman is singing with all her heart and soul and I can feel all the emotions! And everythig she's saying is just brilliant! Hope to hear a lot of her in the future! xoxo from Bulgaria
Love her as a singer. Finally somebody that sings songs that are relevant. My number one artist right now.

Sheldon Bridg
Sheldon Bridges you should check out Paloma Faith as well
Sheldon Bridges such savage music @lyics
He pulled you closer said he'll never let go.
You couldn't trust him but you never said no.
In that moment he made you forgot how it feels when he's gone
+warina barzani fuckin deadly lyrics
sad but it's true

One way of looking at it but could look at it as an abusive relationship etc as well. Anything controlling fits. I see all perspectives.
Well damn
I dated a guy who introduced me to drugs and slowly bit by bit got me strung me out in order to control my life. I got out after years of abuse and I'm clean. Songs can hit differently for different people. For me it's an exact story. My ex WAS the drug.

Stay strong
i love her style. It makes me believe good music still lives on. Represent :)
I love this song. I have it on my fav list on my phone. For some reason, I have never seen the video. It took a whole different turn from what I have been hearing all this time. Emeli is soooo amazing and I love the sone even more. Why is she not being forced onto the radio so everyone can hear and appreciate what she offers.
Emeli + Naughty Boy = Dreamteam
I just love Sande's songs...listening to this in 2020!where have I been all this time ???
her music is just parked with reality...
I am officially obessed with her and her music omg. I'm in the middle of hearing the rest of the album but I can't help repeating the majority of the tracks I've hear so far, this one included. I was hoping there was a video for this one lol
Im proud of my cousin she is amazing greetings Emeli we love you...
She's my favorite new artist right now, her voice is just amazing and her lyrics are deep!
One of the best songs ever... Perfect voice, amazing performance :) Just love it !
I love your voice. After all these years still listening to this song. Awesome! ❤️
The beat alone,tells it's own story.then added the lyrics, sick!!!!deadly combination .
ruclips.net/video/645EDPXJ75o/видео.html
Emeli can sing.....talented woman!
I absolutely love this girl. such sheer talent such a fantastic voice
The metaphor for this song is actually amazing. What a song.
YESSSS!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad we have this Woman in our generation. True essence of Etta James with a new spin to be current. This is purely amazing.
Sretan ti rođendan draga naša djeca
she sings with so much soul
I came again after 10 years to listen this song😮😊
This song, this music video, Emeli ...just I can say MASTERPIECE
Looved the hair
without you music I would have never survived. Never change keep your spirit strong.
This is like an upbeat James Bond song
+Lamar Dorsey More like for Bourne
All her songs are.. idk why...
Still here in 2022! OVOE was life changing to me. The lyrics and storytelling was so good. Emeli Sande was in her bag in 2012-14!
She has an amazing voice
Stunning singer... such a cool song too! Great story... She's such a crazy good writer!
Where was I when this song came out?
Living under a rock probably...
Such a wonderful soul...Emile Sande..strong and delicate voice..amazing video🖤
To tell a story just listen to the words. DADDY is any one or thing that you don't want really its poison.

Basically it's about her drug addiction
First time I heard about Emeli was in London in a Coldplay charity concert. We were tourists and the original Coldplay gig was sold out. They announced a second gig day after. We flew all the way from Finland and Emeli was the warm up. We were blown away by this nobody!
This song has a deep meaning
Emeli is sooooooo goood, those lyrics mean a lot
What a tenderness in that song! I can't help listening...
This an amazing singer I fell and been listening for 5 years... we been missing out on some wonderful artist...

Eve985 Good things are not made for every one.....

Her voice is so versatile! She's like a Beyonce, Adele, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and SOUL all mixed into one. LOVE her music and what she represents - so refreshing :-)

LYRICS:
He's out your system yeah it too you a while.
You got your family back and you got your smile.
And you promised your sister that you'd never go back again...
But friends keep telling you what he did last night.
How many girls he kissed how many he liked.
And you try to remember that there's no way you could ever be friends...
But now you're:
You're looking like you really like him, like him.
And now you're feeling like you miss him, miss him.
You're speaking like you really love him, love him.
And now you're dancing like you need him, need him.
Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya.
It can be the one you run to, the one that saves ya.
It can be your daddy daddy, if you take it gladly gladly.
Daddy Daddy...
He kissed you on the lips and opened your eyes.
You had to catch your breath got such a surprise.
And you always forgot how it feels to live in his lies.
He pulled you closer said he'll never let go.
You couldn't trust him but you never said no.
In that moment he made you forgot how it feels when he's gone...
But now you're:
You're looking like you really like him, like him.
And now you're feeling like you miss him, miss him.
You're speaking like you really love him, love him.
And now you're dancing like you need him, need him.
Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya.
It can be the one you run to, the one that saves ya.
It can be your daddy daddy, if you take it gladly gladly.
Daddy Daddy...
You're looking like you really like him, like him.
(I can kinda like him.)
And now you're feeling like you miss him, miss him.
(And now you miss him.)
You're looking like you really love him, love him.
(And now you love him.)
And now you're dancing like you need him, need him.
(Need him...)
(Chorus) x2
Put it in your pocket don't tell anyone I gave ya.
It can be the one you run to, the one that saves ya.
It can be your daddy daddy, if you take it gladly gladly.
Daddy Daddy...

Thankyou

This song is absolutely brilliant wow! This should be on the radio daily or even hourly. Way better than some of the mainstream garbage out there
i love this song its so good

The more you listen the more amazing the lyrics are. From the "he's out your system, it took you a while." The first part is him getting clean.. and the "Now you're dancing you like you need him need him." Took me a while to figure out she's talking about withdrawal.

Ok for real she is amazing and her voice is just spot on!!!!!! And I love all of your songs every single one!!!!!!
yes who loves emeli sande' 2020
I am agree with you! Every UK artist I have heard until now is amazing! There is no single song that I don't like!
The lyrics message it's so right
"He kissed you on the lips and opened your eyes
You had to catch your breath, got such a surprise
And you almost forgot how it feels to live in his lie"
10 useless minutes of unexplainable pleasure,
captured in a wrecked life, no + thanks.
I looove her voice.
I remember listening to this song when I was in elementary cause it was in my mom's iPod
Who else is listening to this again in high school?
I hate that this is so underrated
she's really talented! and all of her songs are so meaningful
She's an amazing singer !
Pozdrowienia z Polski !!
She is my new favorite singer right now, thank God I found out about her music
This is so underrated wtf
why is this beautiful lady so underrated?? I have never heard of her until i saw her video on Vh soul!
I understand it as taking drugs to help you get over a difficult or painful situation or even another addiction then you end up with problems because you become addicted to something else.
Exactly.
***** Maybe this song and video has dualty :)
***** yes like Gemma said something that might create boundaries from your obsession. I think it it's something secretive that's why Emilia sings "don't tell anyone I gave ya"
*Emeli. Actually it may not necessarily be secretive, just a special advice/help for that particular person with the obsession.
yasssss. wow. I keep finding gems on this incredible cd.
Nearly 7 million views thought this song would be in the 1.5 billion views loool. :-) Should be
magic melody, it gives you that click... nice voice, the content of the song matches the music.
Виктория Шейко "Daddy" ♥
Her voice...😍
I think it's about a boy who is starting to treat drugs like his father because he never had one.
That's what I think
Addiction
You nailed it !
Actually its about the female abusing cocaine to get away from the guy
Wow such an amazing song 👌🏾🔥
Strength to anyone fighting addiction! God bless ❤️
Dude is "F.I.N.E"!!!
I searched his name but could'nt find it
Aaraf Awady did u ever find who he is
so so proud of her,she's one of my faves aswell can't believe she came from somewhere so close!!
Listen to the Ifan Dafydd Remix of this on our channel!
