Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Daddy" by Die Antwoord depict a disturbing and inappropriate father-daughter relationship. The first verse shows the daughter demanding her father to buy her things and threatening him until he gives in. The second verse shows the father taking advantage of his daughter's trust and commanding her to strip and perform sexual acts. The chorus repeats the phrase "Shut the fuck up, be a good girl, and do what daddy says" to reinforce that the daughter has no choice but to listen to her abusive father. The following verses show the daughter asking for more material possessions in exchange for her obedience, and the father bragging about his wealth and power.


The song's lyrics and music video have been criticized for glorifying incest, child abuse, and materialism. However, Die Antwoord claims that the song is a satire of the music industry's exploitation of young artists and their sexualization in music videos. The group argues that the song exposes the dark side of the entertainment industry and criticizes the media's sensationalization of taboo topics. Nevertheless, the group's methods have sparked controversy, and some listeners may find the song disturbing and offensive.
