Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic (2014), peaked among the top five on several charts worldwide, but received mixed reviews from within the industry. The album eventually topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making Azalea the first non-American female rapper to reach the top of the chart. The New Classic was preceded by Azalea's debut single "Work" and chart-topping single "Fancy" (featuring Charli XCX), which hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande's 2014 single "Problem", which peaked at number two behind "Fancy". With these hits, Azalea became the second musical act (behind The Beatles) act to rank at number one and two simultaneously on the Hot 100 with their debut appearances on the chart. In addition, she achieved three top ten hits simultaneously on the Hot 100 with the aforementioned songs and the album's fifth single, "Black Widow" (featuring Rita Ora), which debuted later that year.
After her debut album, Azalea released a slew of singles to build anticipation for her intended second album, Digital Distortion. However, a series of conflicts with her label, as well as personal conflicts, resulted in the project being cancelled. Consequently, Azalea switched labels, releasing the EP Survive the Summer (2018) under Island Records. Further disagreements led to Azalea becoming an independent artist and creating her own label, Bad Dreams, through a distribution deal with Empire. Her second album, In My Defense, was released in 2019, followed by another EP, Wicked Lips, that same year. Before taking a hiatus from music, Azalea released her third studio album, The End of an Era, in August 2021.
Azalea's accolades include two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, a People's Choice Award, four Teen Choice Awards and four Grammy Award nominations. Azalea's official YouTube channel has accumulated more than 3.4 billion views, with 15 music videos receiving over 100 million views on Vevo.
U Ain't My Daddy
Iggy Azalea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my hair done, bought a brand new outfit.
Put my makeup on, plus I just got my nails fixed
About to hit the club when my man starts talking.
You're supposed to be my man, but you act like my babysitter
You're supposed to be my friend, but you can't get your head together
Never told you "no" or that you couldn't go with your boys
How come when I wanna roll you talking all this noise, huh?
Why you trying to tell me what I can't do Seems like every time I wanna go you telling me to stay So I'mma a have to be the one to put you in your place like You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
Push it back, back, baby Push it back, push it back!
Step away from my face, Boy, you making me mad!
Push it back, back, baby Push it back, push it back!
Step away from my face, Boy, you making me mad!
See, every time I'm gone, you just can't hang up the phone Never get sick of the sound of the dial tone.
Just hit 1 o'clock you telling me to bring it home Come on out the club, but I hit you with a no!
No, I'm not gonna go and no I'm not gonna leave I never tell you what to do, so stop telling me!
See, everybody's looking and you mad cause they want it Feeling frustrated cause you home and you lonely!
Pre-Why you wanna tell me where to go, stop, left, right Why you trying to tell me what I can't do Seems like every time I wanna go you telling me to stay So I'mma a have to be the one to put you in your place like You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
You ain't my daddy, You, you ain't my daddy!
Push it back, back, baby Push it back, push it back!
Step away from my face, Boy, you making me mad!
Push it back, back, baby Push it back, push it back!

Now baby I'm grown and I go where I wanna go Do what I wanna do, so no man can tell me, I can't cause I can what to say what to wear I'mma do what I like, cause I really don't care!
If you go or you stay, if you are or you ain't If you do or you don't, cause I want it my way!
Right now I'm so sick of you, trying to control me I think it's about time that I told you how it's gonna be!

In Iggy Azalea's “U Ain't My Daddy,” the lyrics paint a picture of a woman who is trying to enjoy herself with her girlfriends at the club. She took the time to make herself look and feel good, but her man is ruining her night by acting like her babysitter. He is trying to tell her where she can and cannot go, and it seems like he is always trying to control her. Azalea asserts her independence and strength in the song, putting her man in his place by letting him know that he is not her father and has no right to tell her what to do.
The song touches on an important issue that many women face in relationships- controlling partners. It sends a message that women do not need someone to control them, that they can take care of themselves, and that they should not allow anyone to limit their right to have fun or do what they want. The chorus "You ain't my daddy" is a powerful declaration of independence.
In summary, the song is about a woman expressing her desire to live her life as she wants without being controlled by her partner. The lyrics are a testament to the power of independence and the importance of standing up for oneself.
