Lyrics:
“Are you okay if I just sing this song real quick?”
“Yeah, like loud”
“I sing generally pretty loud”
“Sing loud again”
“Ok, here we go”
Lately I've been going through changes
I've been doing a little light rearranging
Blew up my whole life I'm not complaining
Just thought I'd start with some honesty
I used to only be concerned with my career getting bigger
I started zooming out and seeing big pictures
I started focusing on my father figure and I see things a little differently
Cause I got a daughter now
The most perfect tiny human
I got a daughter now
No idea what I'm doing
But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs
Gives me some kind of peace like I never had
I guess I see what all the fuss is about
Cause I got a daughter
I got a daughter now
And if I'm honest I love it
I wear dumb clothes now and I'm like what of it
There are innumerable things that I'm no longer above
That’s more than fine with me, yeah
If that jar is stuck hand it here I can handle it
If that knee's scraped baby I can examine it
Judge me till you walk a mile in my socks and my sandals, kid
Cause I got a daughter now
And she is everything to me
I got a daughter now
And suddenly I cry in movies
And the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs
Gives me some kind of peace like I never had
Guess I see what all the big whoop is about
Cause I got a daughter
I got a daughter now
Yeah, I got a daughter now
Like I said I started making some changes
I said no to some radio stations
I made some time for some family vacations
Cause that's who I wanna be
Cause my biggest fan doesn’t care if I'm famous
Even though the people know what my name is
Yeah like I said I started making some changes
To be who I want to be
Cause I got a daughter now
And she is everything to me
I got a daughter now
And no idea what I'm doing
But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs
Gives me some kind of peace like I never have had
I guess I see a bit different than now, oh yeah
I guess I understand what all the fuss is about
Cause I got a daughter
I got a daughter now
I got a daughter now

Just became a first time father to my beautiful daughter a couple of days ago. Listening to this song captures the feeling pretty damn well. It hit me like a ton of bricks last night. It doesn't matter how tough of a man you think you are, or how impenetrable you think your defenses are, the moment you have a daughter it is game over. She has you and there's nothing you can do about it. She instantly becomes your biggest weak point that could crumble you just by existing. No other being alive can do this to you the way your daughter can. I became crippled at the realization that she had just become my entire world, my biggest love and therefore my biggest weak spot. I would do anything and everything for her and man is that a scary thought to know that someone who's only been alive for 24 hours can do that to you.
Congratulations brother and welcome to the fraternity of girl dads. Nothing better!
I completely agree. I keep saying, she broke me in the best possible way.
❤🥰❤I love this.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Congrats :) it's a really wonderful thing
She is turning 1 tomorrow and I'm a mess 😢 it's been a great year but it really did go by way too fast. At tomorrow's bday party for her, it will he just family and some friends, but I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it together. I'm afraid I'll see her life in a snapshot when we start singing happy birthday and as I'm making this a core memory for myself as well as her, I'll be envisioning the handing off of car keys, the graduation, first day of school, every single memory that comes with having a kid and the speed at which it will all of a sudden feel like it's happen will become too much to bear.
Ultimately, I'm grateful that she's healthy and that we have the loving family that we have and I'm looking forward to celebrating her tomorrow. Just, if you guys find out about a pause button on this thing just lemme know because where'd the time go?
Currently bawling while my daughter is eating a peanut butter bagel not even realizing how much I love her.
Awwww
Maynneeee, I’m at work and I don’t see mine til next weekend 😭
I just had my daughter 8 days ago, and this song makes me cry so much.
My daughter is now 1 yr old. She might see this comment some day in the future. I love you more than anything dear! Daddy will always love you ❤
😭😭😭😭 Who’s cutting onions?! Just did a video for our daughter and this is the most perfect song for it. After 4 boys, we fasted and prayed for a daughter and God answered our prayers! 3 days after I had finished my fast I was pregnant with our princess! 👑 💕💒🙌🏼🎶
i feel this!!! I love all 3 of my boys, but we are so excited to welcome a little girl to our family
I got a 29 year old daughter with her own 3 year old daughter. I made a lot of mistakes over those early years but man do we have a great relationship Would not trade it for the world! Oh and i loooove watching her with her own daughter. Luna is the best granddaughter any man could ever want. Thanks jade for all the good times and times to come. Praise God!!
Don't even have a daughter but I'm teary eyed just imagining the future father-daughter wedding dance moment to this will create!
Yes that’d be perfect!
I have a 23 day old and this is so precious. The world truly falls away when you have this amazing experience.
Man being a father to a daughter is the absolute coolest thing I have ever done. True love, especially after growing up with 2 brothers. Which we just found out my oldest brother is expecting a daughter. Each of us will all have daughters and I am so excited to watch them all grow up together.
The intro is incredible! To go from the acoustical "chat" with his daughter... encouraging him to "sing LOUD" works seamlessly! Great song!
😍😭 My husband and I are expecting our first baby and it's a little girl. This song makes me so excited to see how much she's going to change us all. 💕
This is the music we need in the world. YES!
So accurate and cute! 🥰 (typing this comment with fingernails recently painted by my 6 year old... 💁🏼♂️)
Kids are so precious
Currently sat in bed with my husband and 7 month old daughter, it’s nearly 8am in the UK 🇬🇧 We’ve been so excited for this new album! Every single song is written with such heart and honesty and somehow they’re all completely relatable too. But this one hit hard. My husband especially, is a huge careerist as a stop motion animator & having a baby was a huge deal to his career. This song totally encapsulates the emotions before and after parenthood and is simply stunning.
Whilst we were all listening to it for the first time in full, our daughter just went “Da-da!” As clear as day. Making the song even more memorable to us 💛
Also forgot to mention that we had “Forever like that” as our first dance song at our wedding last year, after going through a lot to get to that point (as so many others also struggled with thanks to covid.)
I can’t wait for the UK to catch up to your following in America and one day be able to purchase your music over here. I genuinely believe you’re one of the greatest songwriters out there. Thank you for filling our days, weeks, months and years with your wonderful music. ✌🏻
Precious!!!
Awesome story :) some of the most joyous moments with our children is just laying in bed. My oldest asked my wife a few days ago "how did you survive when I was in your belly and I ate all the food?"
How true is this, my first daughter born sept 14. I am completely in awe.
This song is absolutely beautiful!!! Where my new dads at?
Had my miracle baby last year on Mother's Day! I feel this is my spirit
this song is awesome I can really relate so much since my wife recently gave birth to our first born and that's a DAUGHTER, and honestly I've been a fan of you, we even use your song "I WILL ALWAYS BE YOURS" in our wedding video. More beautiful songs 😊😊👌👌
Got 2 of em...wouldn't trade em for anything!
Haven’t cried like this to a song in a while🥺
I had my daughter 7 weeks ago, I can’t make it past 2 minuets in this song without ugly crying
My little two little ladies are gonna get tired of this song...and my son is gonna hate it😂
Omg this song brings so many tears to my eyes . I prayed and prayed for a daughter. However God blessed me with 4 sons and then finally after having 4 sons I finally had a beautiful baby girl
Boys are a blessing. 2 girls, wasn't sure I could handle a boy, but he has my whole heart (well, they all do, but he's my special boy).
This is the sweetest song ever! Can’t stop listening!
Sing LOUD again! Best advice ever
Our 2nd daughter was born 12 weeks early, I don’t have words for this or for us…but. I got 2 daughters now!!!!!! Blessed
i got a 5 month old daughter now, and hearing this make me tears. And i just made a reels with this song, that i hope someday i could send it to my daughter.
Listening to this with my 2.5 month... daughter :)
My peanut is 1 next month. I see the world through a different lens now, that’s for sure!
I really see everything differently now with my sweet little daughter ❤
Best song ever! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can’t stop crying, so beautiful!
This has been on repeat. I love my daughter so much and this song does a great job of how I feel.. She's sick at the moment and it's so hard not being able to make her better myself.
Whelp, crying.
Wow what a wonderful song... God blessed me with a healthy daughter. I am gonna make her listen and i will surely sing along this lovely song for her everyday. I love the lyrics, melody and great vocals... Thanks man... Appreciate your talent... Keep doing what you're doing. So happy to hear this.
At the young age od 62, I have an amazing 2 year old. So much fun.
I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my little girl!
my daughter is 3 months old and this is now my favorite song …l got so emotional listening to it…l will always love you baby Ruu😍😍😍😍😍
I have my first child coming--a baby girl! This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Earlier this year I started teaching myself piano, and I'm desperately trying to figure out how to play this song. I figured out the general cords, but there's a lot of other fun nuance that I don't know how to play.
WOW this song hits u dead in the heart ❤❤❤ I got a daughter now and it’s amazing !! My only kid is my daughter LOVE THIS SONG !!
This song is......perfect. ❤
Magnificent song! Huge wave from Serbia from a proud father colleague! ;)
Wow!!!! So good!

When we were pregnant with my first little girl, I ran into an old friend from high school and he said, "Daughters, man. They soften you." He shook his head.
This is Extraordinary for sure. 😉
My sweet girl is due any day now💕
She's here & going on 9 months❤
