Composition

[edit]

The track samples Blueface's "Thotiana" and interpolates his song "ID" as well as "Uno" by American rapper Ambjaay. Joshua Espinoza of Complex has described the track to be "reminiscent" of "Thotiana", as it features "an extremely catchy, club-ready beat and braggadocios lines about sex and designer goods."[1] Blueface lists off many famous luxury designers in the song.[2] "Daddy" has been regarded as a summer-themed song.[3]
